Bawaal () is a 2023 Indian Hindi-language adventure romantic drama film directed by Nitesh Tiwari, and produced by Sajid Nadiadwala and Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari under Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment and Earthsky Pictures. It stars Varun Dhawan and Janhvi Kapoor as a troubled married couple.

Filming took place in multiple countries from April to August 2022. Initially scheduled for a theatrical release, Bawaal had a streaming release on Amazon Prime Video on 21 July 2023. The film received mixed reviews from critics, with backlash mostly owing to Holocaust trivialization. Despite the backlash, in the 2023 Filmfare OTT Awards, this movie was nominated for multiple awards, including Best Actor in a Web Original Film and Best Actress in a Web Original Film for Dhawan and Kapoor, respectively.
