'Bad Newz' Review: What's Good, What's Bad; Find Out Here

Vicky Kaushal and Triptii Dimri-starrer 'Bad Newz' has hit the screens on Friday, July 19. The movie is directed by Anand Tiwari and funded by Dharma Productions.

Saloni Bagga finds herself in a complicated situation after one-night stands with two different men, Akhil Chadha and Gurbir Pannu, result in an unexpected pregnancy. The situation takes a dramatic turn when her doctor reveals that she is pregnant with twins through a rare condition known as heteropaternal superfecundation-where two separate eggs are fertilized by sperm from two different men. This revelation sparks a humorous rivalry between Akhil and Gurbir as both men compete to win her affection.

The movie delivers on its promise of non-stop entertainment. With a combination of ample laughs, enjoyable jokes, witty one-liners, and strong emotions, 'Bad Newz' is a well-crafted entertainer that keeps the audience engaged. Anand Tiwari's direction ensures that despite the seemingly ludicrous plot, the screenplay remains smart and riveting. The comic moments land effectively, and the narrative avoids unnecessary detours, culminating in an appropriate conclusion.

Vicky Kaushal excels in his role, particularly in the emotional sequences, and his performance is likely to expand his fan base significantly. Triptii Dimri also shines, striking a balance between light-hearted and emotional moments, while adding a significant glamour quotient to the film.

Ammy Virk's comedic timing is impeccable, contributing significantly to the film's humor. Though Neha Dhupia and Sheeba Chaddha are underutilized, their potential to enhance the film's depth is evident.

The soundtrack of 'Bad Newz' features three chartbusters-'Tauba Tauba,' 'Mere Mehboob Mere Sanam,' and 'Jaanam'-which add considerable value to the film.

While there are a few moments in the first half that could have been sharper, and some characters seem superfluous, these minor shortcomings don't overshadow the film's overall appeal.

In summary, 'Bad Newz' is a full-on entertainer that successfully wins the audience over with its blend of humor, drama, and strong performances.
