The release of the film "Bad Newz" generated widespread anticipation with its promising trailer and superhit songs, sparking hope for a revival of classic Bollywood rom coms.
As the spiritual successor to the 2019 hit "Good Newwz" and directed by Anand Tiwari, "Bad Newz" arrives amidst high expectations. Bolstering the excitement is its stellar cast: Vicky Kaushal in top form, Triptii Dimri, a darling among fans, and Ammy Virk, renowned for his charm in Punjabi cinema. On the surface, everything appears flawless . However, the film failed to deliver on its expectations, leaving viewers thoroughly disappointed.
"Bad Newz" spins a comedic yarn around the bizarre scenario of two men battling for the title of fatherhood after a unique reproductive anomaly. The story unfolds as a woman unexpectedly becomes pregnant with twins, each fathered by a different man—a phenomenon known as heteropaternal superfecundation. This sets off a tumultuous competition between the two protagonists, each determined to prove himself the superior father.
Despite the high expectations set by its promising trailer, "Bad Newz" quickly disappoints right from the opening scenes. The film fails to live up to the excitement it initially generated, stumbling with a weak and unconvincing storyline. It fails to deliver on its promise, leaving viewers disappointed with its disjointed narrative and missed opportunities to delve into deeper themes.
"Bad Newz" falls short of its potential as a gripping drama exploring human frailties. Despite being helmed by director Anand Tiwari, known for his nuanced work such as "Bandish Bandits," the film lacks finesse and coherence.
Even with talents like Vicky Kaushal's finesse, Tripti Dimri's popularity, and Ammy Virk's charismatic presence, "Bad Newz" remains unsalvageable. Despite the star-studded cast, the film fails to capitalize on their abilities, leaving their performances overshadowed by a poorly executed plot and lackluster direction. The sole saving grace of "Bad Newz" lies in its superhit songs, which have captured the nation's attention and gotten everyone grooving.
The film struggles to find its footing from the outset, with a scattered plot that meanders without purpose. Character development is shallow, leaving the audience indifferent to the fate of the protagonists. Despite attempts at humor, the jokes often fall flat, relying on tired clichés rather than genuine wit.
Overall, "Bad Newz" is a disappointing endeavor that fails to capitalize on its potential, resulting in a forgettable cinematic experience.
