Bad Newz review: Vicky Kaushal and Ammy Virk's chemistry works, rest of the things don't
What Bad Newz is All About?
Directed by Anand Tiwari and written by Ishita Moitra and Tarun Dudeja, the movie is based on a rare medical condition of Heteropaternal superfecundation. For those unaware, in this condition, the woman gets pregnant with twins from different men.
The movie revolves around Saloni Bagga (Dimri), a passionate chef living in Mussoorie. After divorcing her husband Akhil Chadha (Kaushal), Saloni moved to another town, where she met another man Gurbir (Virk).
Saloni ends up sleeping with both men on the same night and gets pregnant and a doctor later declares that both men are the fathers.
Netizens Reactions
After watching the first day of the first show, the reactions have been pouring in. Netizens have loved the chemistry, honour, dialogues, and cast performance, especially Vicky as the West Delhi boy. However, some people have expressed their disappointment with the movie's plot.
Trade Analyst Taran Adarsh called the ''FUN-TASTIC''.

Rating: ⭐️⭐️½#BadNewz is an AVERAGE affair. Director #AnandTiwari’s attempt is genuine but the comedy just doesn’t land. #VickyKaushal has sharp screen presence and is the only good thing about the film. A major chunk of the second half is the only saving grace. #BadNewzReview… pic.twitter.com/OV6Bu4D45E

Strictly below average
1st half seems promising mainly due to #VickyKaushal
2nd half is a train wreck
If you wanna watch it, do it only for Vicky. He put his heart & soul for his character
Otherwise wait for OTT

One thing is clear from this #BadNewz film: the makers think the audience is foolish enough to like anything labeled as comedy. Unfortunately, it's childish despite the big budget. The actors try to save it, but in my opinion, they fail. #MovieReview #ComedyFail #BadNewzReview pic.twitter.com/kYgFAICW9b
