After a dip on Monday, the film saw a slight recovery in its earnings on Tuesday, showcasing a promising trend as it continues to attract audiences across India.
Box Office Performance
According to Sacnilk.com, “Bad Newz” has garnered approximately ₹37 crore in India as of day five. The film, which premiered on July 19, had an opening day collection of ₹8.3 crore. It continued to perform well over the weekend, earning ₹10.25 crore on day two and ₹11.15 crore on day three. However, the film experienced a decline on day four, with earnings dropping to ₹3.5 crore. On Tuesday, the box office collection slightly improved, bringing in ₹3.75 crore, leading to a total of ₹36.95 crore.
Plot Overview
“Bad Newz” takes a unique comedic approach, exploring the rare phenomenon of heteropaternal superfecundation. The story centers on a woman, played by Triptii Dimri, who becomes pregnant with twins from two different fathers, portrayed by Vicky Kaushal and Ammy Virk. The film is seen as a spiritual successor to the 2019 hit “Good Newwz,” which featured an ensemble cast including Kareena Kapoor, Akshay Kumar, Kiara Advani, and Diljit Dosanjh.
Critical Reception
While “Bad Newz” has been noted for relying on some stereotypical portrayals, such as Punjabis’ love for rajma chawal and the trope of ‘mumma’s boys,’ it also includes cleverly crafted meta-jokes. Notable moments include references to Dimri as ‘Bhabhi 2’ and ‘National Crush,’ as well as a playful nod to Kaushal’s character preventing Virk from discarding a photo of Katrina Kaif, humorously stating, “Iske liye toh tujhe meri laash se guzarna hoga” (you’ll have to go over my dead body).
