The 1st half of the movie is awesome with some kickass comedy from Akshay Kumar. But in the latter part is intense without any reason. There is some non sense logic in the movie which is very common in Bollywood but it also fails to leave a mark at the end. Altogether a average timepass movie.
Although Good Newwz handles a fresh subject and has its heart in the right place, the Laugh-out-loud moments are too few and far apart to keep you engaged. Kareena Kapoor excels in both the comedy scenes and one crunch emotional sequence in the second half, but is let down by her male co-star Akshay Kumar who as usual, becomes a damp squib in a role requiring genuine acting chops.
Diljith Dosanj is delightful in the initial scenes with his energy and comic timing, but his stereotype-ka-baap role as the loud, I-dont-know-English Punjabi 'Honey Batra' becomes stale and repetitive as the movie drags on. Kabir Singh-fame Kiara Advani is wasted and hardly has anything to do the whole movie.
Watch at your own risk!

GOOD NEWWZ REVIEW :-
From the trailer we all got the idea of what is the basic story of good Newwz starring Akshay Kumar, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Diljit Dosanjh and Kiara Advani, right? What it offers more in the film is funny storytelling and emotional quotient with some valid reasons. A sensitive topic like this (IVF) is being told in funny manners wasn't looking appropriate when the trailer came out and there was a constant fear that this goof up might get messed up because of comedy touch but thankfully everything here is perfect whether it is comedy, presentation or content. We haven't seen much goof up stories in Bollywood and Good Newwz is probably the Best among those rare films.
Varun Batra (Akshay Kumar) and Deepu Batra (Kareena Kapoor) an urban couple give nod to IVF process to have a baby but accidentally there is another couple of same surname who is also trying the same process to have a baby. The technician in lab gets confused between two Batra's and mix up thier samples. Now this is something really interesting and it creates lot of funny confusions, intentional face offs and quirky flights. But at the end there is much needed emotional touch to end the film on Happy note and you also get to know that why there are two 'W's in the film's title.
Akshay Kumar as Varun Batra is truly hilarious. He will make you laugh out loudly with his dialogues and expressions. Kareena Kapoor as his high class wife is bindass, she's bossing type and looks convincing urban housewife. Diljit Dosanjh joins the party late but he is freaking Funny from the first scene and end up having so much fun. Kiara Advani plays a devotional, sober housewife and she looks cute. Adil Hussain and Tisca Chopra play a perfect Doctor couple who have successfully delivered 26,000+ babies in thier hospital and assure a Good News through a video advertise. Anjana Sukhani is seen after a long time on screen and she plays Akshay Kumar's sister, a Lawyer by profession with enough conviction.
Written by Jyoti Kapoor and Raj Mehta Good Newwz is a perfect tale of comedy, important subject and emotions. Finally, bollywood gets that one Perfect Urban comedy for multiplex Audience. Dialogues by Rishab Sharma are quirky and also create meaningful situational comedy continuosly. Music is Fantastic because all songs appear on perfect situations and that's why doesn't look boring. 'Sauda Khara' doesn't have a separate video and still it is the best among all despite having only background playing mode.
Raj Mehta debuts with a strong film and he will surely recieve lots of Praise for his directorial skills in this film. Telling this sensitive topic with Comedy touch was a risk but he dared to do so and successfully achieved the destination. The comedy seems quite high class sometimes but fortunately it didn't cross the limits. Good Newwz is a perfect mixture of Goof, urban comedy, emotions and all cinematic properties. Good Newwz ends 2019 with the bang and there are no second thoughts about it's commercial success. Go and have a Good time with Good Newwz.
RATING- 7/10*

Tackling a fresh and complex subject in a simplified manner isn't an easy task. But it seems the makers have succeeded in that. Filled with great writing, neat direction, brilliant performances ; this one is surely up for full on entertainment. Those jokes, one liners will make you laugh hard as well as the emotional scenes will surely make you cry. The balance between these two contrary emotions are well maintained and they never felt carried away or exhaustive in nature. Personally I would have liked to see more from the side characters and maybe a bit more screen presence for Diljit and Kiara's Characters respectively! Although This film did deliver the Message well. I'm glad they found a right way to introduce such a Newly Adapted concept here in Bollywood. With comedy and heartwarming elements ; they made it easier to connect with the audience on the same line. Unlike most of the times when these kind of Social Awarenesses got forgotten due to the overly realistic approach from the directors or should I say more Darker Tonality in general writing of those subjects. But This mixture had hit the notes on point. Overall a surprisingly great movie that everyone can enjoy and learn from.
Did you know
- TriviaThe makers left no stone unturned to make the promotions unique. Taking promotions a notch up, cast members Akshay Kumar and Diljit Dosanjh experienced labour pain through electrical devices.
- GoofsAt the end after Kareena Kapoor delivered the baby, it could be seen that Kiara Advani was holding a nearly 2-3 months old baby, because the baby looked quite big and could hold its own neck. However when they entered the maternity room, Kiara was holding a different baby girl, much younger and wearing different clothes.
