Vicky Kaushal, Triptii Dimri and Ammy Virk’s entertainer has been creating waves at the big screens. The film, has been earning good reviews from fans and critics, and the box office numbers are a proof of the same. Within 7 days, the film has minted over 40 crores, and is inching closer to the Rs 50 crore mark for the ticket window. According to a report in Sacnilk, Bad Newz earned around 2.75 crores on Thursday, leading to a box office collection of almost 44.12 crores so far.

Trade analyst Taran Adarsh took to his X handle to praise the film and wrote, After posting a strong opening weekend, #BadNewz consolidated its status with steady weekday numbers… The healthy Week 1 performance places it in a comfortable position. “#BadNewz has found acceptance in urban centres, but the mass market has underperformed, despite two hit numbers and a well-received trailer.”

“Weekday biz, in particular, was bolstered by the #Buy1Get1 [#BOGO] free ticket offer… However, the arrival of #DeadpoolAndWolverine could present a significant challenge. [Week 1] Fri 8.62 cr, Sat 10.55 cr, Sun 11.45 cr, Mon 3.75 cr, Tue 3.80 cr, Wed 3.20 cr, Thu 2.75 cr. Total: ₹ 44.12 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.”
