Featured reviews
"Bad Newz" is a disappointing throwback to the ludicrous, crass comedies of the past, filled with regressive slapstick humor that revolves around sexual references and mocks fidelity, chastity, and marriage. It glorifies a lack of commitment in relationships, ensuring that the morally dubious protagonist comes away unscathed and "clean."
The humor is dry, the acting is over-the-top, and Triptii Dimri's performance is marred by a mindless display of skin. Intimate scenes appear to be included merely for their own sake, rather than contributing to the plot or character development. The songs are forgettable and fail to leave any lasting impression.
Adding to the misery, the film relies heavily on outdated stereotypes and lazy writing. The dialogues are cringe-worthy, with punchlines that fall flat more often than not. The storyline is predictable and lacks any semblance of creativity or originality.
The film's attempt to pass off inappropriate behavior as comedic results in tasteless jokes that border on offensive. Instead of evolving with the times, it clings to a bygone era of humor that should have stayed in the past.
Acting by the other leads is no redemption either. Vicky Kaushal seems to be making wrong choices now.
Overall, this film should be avoided at all costs. However, if this kind of humor appeals to you and you're looking for a bit of sexual stimulation in the theaters, you might find it worth a watch. For everyone else, it's best to steer clear and save your time and money for something more deserving.

Utter nonsense and poorly acted. The akhil Chadha background score was soooooooo annoying. Gave me a headache. Left the movie ten minutes after the intermission. Thre movie had so many absurd meme references, it seemed so juvenille. They did neha dhupia dirty. What was that tarot card reader attire through out the movie. There was barely any coherence or gravitas to the story. Vicky Kaushal's character was a sasta version of Rocky Randhawa from RRKPK.
The movie was so bad in taste that i was compelled to write this ( i have neverr written any review before this) Please save yourr money and skip this disaster.

Bad Newz is really bad in execution. A subject which would both be humorous and emotional has failed to deliver the both. The subject like the Akshay staring Good News is bold and challenging to convey the entertainment in it to audience but entire starcast i.e Tripti Dimri, Vicky Kaushal and Ammy Virk also failed to impress. I guess in the settings provided they didn't get much to deliver but Tripti also fails in scene she was required to excel. At many occasions her pregnancy also looked fake. Supporting cast of parents of all characters are entirely useless in adding anything meaningful to the film.
What do you do with your film bad to keep your audience hooked?
You add music to EVERY scene. And you know what happens after?
Your movie still remains trash.
What was bad? Wrong question. What was right would be an easier one to answer.
Probably only Vicky Kaushal's performance. No doubt Kaushal, like Ranveer Singh, is few of the many whose work alone can do all the heavy-lifting for the film. Tripti is gorgeous, yes, but ends up playing a cliché generic character for whose dreams you hardly relate to. On a script level, all she does is react to most of the events happening to her. Hardly ever does she act. Very one tone depiction.
The edit was horrendous. As the title says, it feels like this is a reel. Where's the sense of cinema, craft, pacing, rhythm? Is Production Design and Costume the only things catching Dharma's attention these days?
Saving the worst for the last, the Direction is simply bad. Reflect on what disaster you've made Anand ji.
There were many strong laugh moments, granted. But comedy is not just executed through situations. Many desperate attempts were made to induce a chuckle.
And the obsession with Past Bollywood references and Music. Good God let the past be. Pay your Screenwriters and Musicians and Lyricists well, and they will make Gold for you again, as they have done so eloquently in the past.
THINK BEFORE PRODUCTION, please.
