The Israeli embassy in India has responded to the controversy over Bawaal, criticising the Nitesh Tiwari film for “trivialising” the genocide of six million Jews in World War II. “The Israeli embassy is disturbed by the trivialization of the significance of the Holocaust in the recent movie ‘Bawaal’,” tweeted the Embassy today, referring to a scene in the movie which attracted controversy for a dialogue referring to “Auschwitz”. The film also includes a scene where actor Jhanvi Kapoor’s character says “we’re all a little like Hitler, aren’t we”, when talking about human greed.
