Vicky Kaushal’s “Bad Newz” shatters records! Can it keep up the momentum?

In a significant box office debut, “Bad Newz,” directed by Anand Tiwari and featuring stars Vicky Kaushal, Tripti Dimri, and Ammy Virk, secured an impressive Rs 8.50 crore on its opening day. This figure marks a potential record opener for Vicky Kaushal, setting the stage for a lucrative opening weekend projected between Rs 34-35 crore. Such numbers indicate strong performance, especially given the film’s scale and market expectations.

The film’s unique plot revolves around the concept of heteropaternal superfecundation, a rare reproductive phenomenon where twins have different biological fathers. The chemistry between leads Vicky Kaushal and Tripti Dimri, coupled with the film’s lively soundtrack and engaging narrative, has resonated well with the audience, enhancing its box office appeal. Notably, “Bad Newz” kicked off its theatrical run with over 93,000 tickets sold in advance, contributing Rs 2.67 crore to its initial earnings.

Reviews highlight the film’s successful blend of comedy and drama, with the first half setting up intriguing scenarios and the second half delivering emotional depth and humor. Critics have praised the film for its comedic timing and the ensemble cast’s ability to bring the exaggerated family dynamics to life. According to a review from India.com, the film is a “complete comedy of errors” that effectively engages the audience through its smart and well-placed humor.

As “Bad Newz” continues to attract viewers with its appealing storyline and strong performances, the film industry anticipates whether it can maintain this momentum through its opening weekend and beyond. The early positive reception, both at the box office and among critics, suggests that “Bad Newz” might just become one of the season’s biggest hits, thanks to its unique concept and stellar cast.
