This article contains spoilers. Bad Newz opened in the theatres on July 19, and early moviegoers have taken to social media to share their reactions and ratings. The film shows a unique romance between two sophisticated Punjabi men, portrayed by Vicky Kaushal and Ammy Virk, and a Christian-Hindu girl, played by Triptii Dimri. The plot thickens as one of the men has a one-night stand with the girl, leading to unexpected craziness when she finds herself pregnant.
Produced by Hiroo Yash Johar, Karan Johar, Apoorva Mehta, Amritpal Singh Bindra, and Anand Tiwari, Bad Newz is a rom-com featuring this fresh trio of talents. The trailer, with its offbeat storyline where Dimri’s character discovers she’s expecting twins from two different fathers piqued the audience's curiosity and generated significant buzz.

⭐️⭐️#BadNewz suffers frm Bad Writing, Bad Direction and ANNOYING side characters.#VickyKaushal is ✅#TriptiiDimri is 👎#AmmyVirk is OK
A few chuckles in 1st half, but then u sit thru the whole movie trying to make sense of a PREDICTABLE-LIFELESS screenplay.
