Thank u for giving bawaal a place In Your heart. I have never received so many calls for any film of mine. The impact this film is having on people is incredible. It’s a conversation starter about the fake image industry and how today we are all in someway slaves to this ideology. Thank u for watching and enjoying Ajju and his family. You are #bawaal.”

Netizens are not very happy with Varun’s choice of words for the film. One Reddit user wrote, “What happened to Nitesh Tiwari?? How could he go wrong?...” another wrote, “Saying dialogues like ‘har riste ka apna Auschwitz hota hai’  is just tone deaf, and the movie largely ends up being very insensitive because it spends its time comparing the tragedy and the sufferings of millions, to a toxic relationship.’
