The Vicky Kaushal-starrer "Bad Newz" continues to perform well at the domestic box office. According to Sacnilk.com, the film which, was released on July 19 and is directed by Anand Tiwari, is on the verge of entering the ₹50 crore club. On its ninth day (second Saturday), "Bad Newz" earned over ₹3.25 crore, bringing its total domestic collection to ₹48.25 crore. The film saw an overall 29.90% occupancy of Hindi-speaking regions on Saturday.

Week One Recap

In its first week, "Bad Newz" accumulated ₹42.85 crore. On the eighth day, it collected ₹2.15 crore. The steady performance continued into the second weekend, showing promising signs of reaching the ₹50 crore mark soon.

About the Film

"Bad Newz" stars Vicky Kaushal, Triptii Dimri, and Ammy Virk in leading roles. The plot centres around Saloni Bagga (played by Triptii Dimri), who experiences heteropaternal superfecundation—a condition where twins are born to the same mother but have different biological fathers. The characters Akhil Chadha (Vicky Kaushal) and Gurbir Singh (Ammy Virk) vie to prove their worth as fathers and win Saloni's hearts.

Global Performance

Globally, "Bad Newz" has already surpassed the ₹70 crore mark, earning a total of ₹78.30 crore worldwide. Produced by Amritpal Singh Bindra, Apoorva Mehta, and Karan Johar, the film also features Neha Dhupia in a key role, with cameo appearances by Ananya Panday and Neha Sharma.

Critical Review

The Hindustan Times review noted that while "Bad Newz" incorporates several stereotypes—such as Punjabis loving rajma chawal, mumma's boys being careless husbands, and women choosing careers over marriage—it stands out for its clever meta jokes. Highlights include references to Triptii Dimri's character as "Bhabhi 2" and "National Crush," and scenes with witty dialogues involving Vicky Kaushal's character. Despite the reliance on clichés, the film's humour and unique storytelling elements were appreciated.
