Vicky Kaushal, Triptii Dimri and Ammy Virk’s Bad Newz has been backed by Karan Johar. The film released on July 19.
Vicky Kaushal, Triptii Dimri and Ammy Virk’s entertainer Bad Newz, has been creating waves at the box office. The film has been earning good reviews from fans and critics, and the box office numbers are a proof of the same. Within 2 weeks, the film has minted nearly Rs 50 Crores at the ticket window.
According to trade analyst Taran Adarsh, the film will cross the Rs 50 crore mark today. Trade analyst Taran Adarsh took to his X handle to praise the film and wrote, “The weekend growth [58.56%] has come in… #BadNewz sees a significant upward trend on [second] Sat, bringing it closer to the ₹ 50 cr mark… This escalation in numbers is commendable given the stiff competition from the mighty #DeadpoolAndWolverine. [Week 2] Fri 2.22 cr, Sat 3.52 cr. Total: ₹ 49.86 cr. #India biz. #Boxoffice.”
Backed by producers Hiroo Yash Johar, Karan Johar, Apoorva Mehta, Amritpal Singh Bindra, and Anand Tiwari, Bad Newz is a rom-com that features a fresh trio of talents – Vicky Kaushal, Triptii Dimri, and Ammy Virk. The film’s offbeat storyline, where Dimri’s character finds out she’s expecting twins from two different fathers, portrayed by Kaushal and Virk, has intrigued audiences and sparked curiosity about the movie’s plot.
Vicky Kaushal has also been grabbing attention for his dance moves in the Tauba Tauba song. Besides this, his sizzling chemistry with Triptii in the intimate song Jaanam has also grabbed everyone’s attention. Directed by Anand Tiwari, Bad Newz also features Neha Dhupia.
News18 Showsha reviewed the film with 3 stars and wrote, “Vicky gives it his all to Akhil Chaddha, who seems like an extension of Vicky Sandhu or more appropriately, a mix of Vicky Sandhu and Rocky Randhawa. He maybe impish but he’s the greenest green flag, who loves selflessly with all his heart. It’s him who single-handedly tries to elevate this middling script. His comic timing is great but he surely deserved funnier dialogues. His banter with Ammy are pure gold. A special mention goes to the scene where Akhil and Gurbir meet for the first time at a doctor’s clinic to get their paternity tests done. Their chemistry, in all honesty, is richer than the one shared by Akhil and Saloni.”
“All in all, Bad Newz stays true to its title. It is just a good looking film that shines on the surface. It could have been so much more. The makers barely touch upon the moral policing a woman at the centre of heteropaternal superfecundation may suffer. On the other hand, they could have easily done away with the many songs that keep popping up every now and then. The film solely belongs to Vicky and his Tauba Tauba but let’s caution you that you’ll need to sit till the very end if you want to catch the actor suavely grooving to its cool beats.”
