Vicky Kaushal achieved his highest opening with Bad Newz. The movie, which also features Triptii Dimri and Ammy Virk, premiered in theaters on July 19 and has garnered mixed reviews from critics and audiences. After kicking off its box office run with more than Rs. 8.5 crore, the film experienced a surge in ticket sales on Saturday.
The movie experienced a growth of over 16 percent on its initial Saturday, July 20th. As per industry analysts, Bad Newz raked in Rs. 10.55 crore on Saturday, bringing its total box office earnings to Rs. 19 crore net in just two days. The film attracted the most viewers during the night shows, with an overall Hindi occupancy rate of 26.81 percent. The film is anticipated to continue its impressive performance even on Sunday, possibly reaching Rs. 30 crore by the conclusion of its first weekend.

Anand Tiwari directs the movie, which is co-produced by Karan Johar, Hiroo Yash Johar, Anand Tiwari, Apoorva Mehta, and Amritpal Singh Bindra. This comedy-drama is considered a spiritual successor to the 2019 hit Good Newzz, which featured Akshay Kumar, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Kiara Advani, and Diljit Dosanjh.
