Vicky Kaushal’s latest romantic-comedy, “Bad Newz,” has enjoyed a successful first week at the box office, solidifying its position as his second-best first-week earner. Directed by Anand Tiwari, the film has managed to pull in a significant audience, despite facing competition from major releases.
First Week Box Office Collection
Bad Newz made an astounding Rs 8.3 crore on its opening day when it debuted at the box office on Friday, July 19. Over the course of the weekend, the movie’s receipts increased steadily, bringing in Rs 10.25 crore on Saturday and Rs 11.15 crore on Sunday. But on Monday, it saw a decline like many other movies, earning Rs 3.5 crore. “Bad Newz” earned a total of Rs 42.85 crore by the end of its first week of sales.
Comparative Performance
This performance makes “Bad Newz” a standout among recent Bollywood releases. For instance, Akshay Kumar’s “Sarfira” only managed Rs 18.75 crore in its first week. Kartik Aaryan’s “Chandu Champion,” a sports drama, collected Rs 35.25 crore, while “Mr and Mrs Mahi,” starring Janhvi Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao, earned Rs 24.45 crore.
Vicky Kaushal’s Career Milestones
Bad Newz has not only outperformed its peers, but it has also raised the bar for Vicky Kaushal. With the movie earning more on its first day than his 2019 smash blockbuster “Uri: The Surgical Strike,” which took in Rs 8.20 crore, it has become his best opening of his career. In addition, “Uri,” which brought in Rs 70.94 crore in its first week of sales, has made “Bad Newz” Vicky’s second-best first-week performance.
Audience and Critical Response
The film, co-starring Triptii Dimri and Ammy Virk, has received a mixed response from audiences. The plot centers around a woman who becomes pregnant with twins, only to discover that each baby has a different biological father. Despite the mixed reviews, Vicky Kaushal’s performance has been highlighted as a significant positive aspect of the film.
Upcoming Competition
While there are no new Bollywood films releasing this week, Bad Newz will face stiff competition in the urban market from Marvel’s much-anticipated Deadpool and Wolverine.The entry of this major Hollywood release is expected to impact “Bad Newz” box office performance in the coming weeks.
Bad Newz has proven to be a successful venture for Vicky Kaushal, marking his second-best first-week earner and outperforming several recent Bollywood films. With a unique storyline and strong performances, it has captivated audiences, setting a positive tone for the rest of its run. However, with the upcoming release of “Deadpool and Wolverine,” the film will need to maintain its momentum to continue its box office success.
