Disturbed by trivialisation of Holocaust in 'Bawaal': Israeli embassy

New Delhi, Jul 29 (PTI) Israel Ambassador to India Naor Gilon has voiced concern over the "trivialisation" of Holocaust in Hindi movie "Bawaal" released on Prime Video, saying it had "poor choice of terminology and symbolism".

The Varun Dhawan-starrer has stirred up a controversy for using the Holocaust to tell a story of marital discord as earlier in the week a prominent Jewish group slammed the movie and called for its removal from the OTT platform.

The Israeli embassy in India on Friday issued a statement, saying it was "disturbed by the trivialisation of the significance of the Holocaust" in the movie, directed by Nitesh Tiwari of "Dangal" fame.
