Vicky Kaushal’s ‘Bad Newz’ brings in some ‘good newz’ at box office

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], July 20 (ANI): Vicky Kaushal-starrer ‘Bad Newz’ is the latest Bollywood film to hit the theatres. Interestingly, the comedy drama has opened to great response from the audience.

As per trade analyst Taran Adarsh, ‘Bad Newz’, which also stars Ammy Virk and Triptii Dimri, has raked in Rs 8.62 cr in India on Day 1 of the release.

“#BadNewz ushers in #GoodNewz for the industry… And #GreatNewz for #VickyKaushal, who delivers his career-best opener [see chart below]. A strong start was on the cards thanks to the impactful trailer + hugely popular song [#TaubaTauba], but the best part is, the strong start, coupled with positive feedback, has set the stage for a solid weekend total. #BadNewz has performed very well at major centres, while mass pockets saw ordinary to dull response… The strong performance at major centres is expected to drive growth on Sat and Sun… In all likelihood, #BadNewz should collect approx Rs 33 [+/-] in its opening weekend, which is an excellent score. [Week 1] Fri Rs 8.62 cr. #India biz. #Boxoffice,” Taran Adarsh wrote on X.

‘Bad Newz’ also has special cameos by actresses Ananya Panday and Neha Sharma.

Makers of the film organised a special screening of the movie for the members of the film fraternity on Thursday night.

The screening was attended not only by the cast and crew of the film but also by the family members of Vicky, who also came to cheer for him. Vicky arrived at the screening with his wife and actor Katrina Kaif.

Directed by Anand Tiwari, the film seems to be a successor to the 2019 hit ‘Good Newwz,’ which starred Kareena Kapoor Khan, Akshay Kumar, Kiara Advani and Diljit Dosanjh in the lead roles.

This film takes a hilarious detour from the usual rom-com tropes, diving into the chaotic world of heteropaternal superfecundation- a fancy way of saying two dads, one mom, and one bun in the oven!’Bad Newz’ is co-produced by Tiwari, along with Hiroo Yash Johar, Karan Johar, Apoorva Mehta and Amritpal Singh Bindra.

Neha Dhupa is also a part of ‘Bad Newz’.
