OTT Platforms are booming with new releases every single day.

Now following the same route, Varun Dhawan and Janhvi Kapoor starrer ‘Bawaal’ has been confirmed to stream on OTT, thus skipping theatrical release. The movie directed by Dangal fame Nitish Tiwari will stream in July, though the date hasn’t been confirmed yet.

Bawaal has been confirmed to release on Amazon Prime Video in July. The OTT giant has announced that it will directly release the romantic love story in July. Viewers will need a subscription to watch the movie on Amazon Prime Video. Watch the first poster of the movie here.

Bawaal: Budget & Cost & Production

Reports claim that the movie cost around Rs. 2.5 crore per day, thus making it the most expensive movie of both Varun Dhawan and Janhvi Kapoor.

Bawaal: Cast

The main cast includes Varun Dhawan, Janhvi Kapoor, Parth Siddhpura, Shashi Verma, Arnob Khan, and Satendra Soni in pivotal roles.

Bawaal: Trailer & Teaser

The trailer and teaser are expected to release soon and these will be updated as soon as they are launched.

Bawaal: Plot

It is an extraordinary love story with a twist as it revolves around a small-town boy who falls in love with the most beautiful girl in town and wants to marry her to rise in social status.

Makers Take on Direct-to-OTT Release for Bawaal

“Set in the heartland of India, the gripping narrative takes viewers on a never-seen-before journey through Europe. We believe that a film that is rooted in India but has a global appeal deserves to reach customers not just in India, but all across the world,” said Sajid Nadiadwala.

Nitesh Tiwari says, “Shot across 3 locations and 5 European countries, Bawaal has a captivating storyline, dramatic visuals, and absolutely amazing chemistry between the lead talent Varun Dhwan and Janhvi Kapoor. I believe that the worldwide premiere on Prime Video will help us take Bawaal to audiences in India and across borders.”

July 2023 Packed with Movie Releases

While the first week of July will see Kartik Aryan and Kiara Advani starrer Satyaprem Ki Katha in theatres, Indiana Jones: The Dial of Destiny will also run simultaneously.

Hollywood has more releases than Bollywood in July 2023 as it will release Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part 1 on July 14, and Christopher Nolan’s period drama Oppenheimer and Greta Grewig’s adaptation of Barbie staring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling on July 21.

The end of July will see Karan Johar’s comeback as a director with Rocky aur Rani ki Prem Kahaani. Bawaal’s release date has not been announced yet, but it will release in July for sure.

Lead stars Varun Dhawan and Janhvi Kapoor are not new to the OTT arena as Bawaal is Varun’s 2nd Direct to OTT release after Coolie No. 1 and it is Janhvi’s 5th direct OTT release after Gunjan Saxena, Good Luck Jerry, Milli and her appearance in Ghost Stories.
