The comedy-drama film *Bad Newz*, directed by Anand Tiwari, has been performing well at the Indian box office. The movie, featuring Vicky Kaushal, Triptii Dimri, Ammy Virk, and Neha Dhupia in lead roles, also includes special cameos by Ananya Panday and Neha Sharma.
Box Office Performance
*Bad Newz* hit theaters on Friday and earned ₹8.3 crore on its first day. According to early estimates from Sacnilk.com, the film made nearly ₹10 crore on Saturday, bringing the total earnings to ₹18.05 crore so far.
Plot and Theme
*Bad Newz* takes a humorous approach, deviating from typical romantic comedies to explore the chaotic world of heteropaternal superfecundation. The movie offers a mix of laughs and clever meta jokes, although it is also criticized for relying on stereotypes.
Critical Reception
The Hindustan Times review highlighted some of these stereotypes, such as Punjabis loving rajma chawal, careless husbands, and career-focused women choosing work over marriage. Despite these clichés, the film has some standout moments. Notable scenes include:
– A reference to Triptii Dimri as “Bhabhi 2” and “National Crush.”
– A scene where Gurbir tells Akhil not to behave like Vicky Sandhu from *Manmarziyaan*.
– Vicky Kaushal’s character stopping someone from throwing away a photo of Katrina Kaif, saying, “Iske liye toh tujhe meri laash se guzarna hoga” (you’ll have to go over my dead body).
Production and Comparison
*Bad Newz* is co-produced by Anand Tiwari, Hiroo Yash Johar, Karan Johar, Apoorva Mehta, and Amritpal Singh Bindra. The film is seen as a spiritual successor to the 2019 hit *Good Newwz*, which starred Kareena Kapoor, Akshay Kumar, Kiara Advani, and Diljit Dosanjh.
Conclusion
Overall, *Bad Newz* is making a strong impact at the box office with its mix of comedy and clever writing, despite some reliance on familiar stereotypes. Fans and audiences are enjoying the performances and the humor, contributing to the film’s success so far.
