Bad Newz: A Comedy That Falters
Plot:
Bad Newz follows the story of Saloni Bagga (Triptii Dimri) who finds herself pregnant with twins conceived through a rare phenomenon, leading to two biological fathers competing for her heart and fatherhood. The film ventures into the realm of rom-com with a familiar setup of two heroes vying for the heroine's love, resulting in a comedic duel that is both outrageous and amusing.
Acting:
Vicky Kaushal does a great job as the self-centered and loud Punjabi, Akhil Chaddha, who undergoes a satisfying character arc throughout the film. His performance is complimented by Ammy Virk, whoportrays Gurbir Pannu, the other father in the chaotic equation. Triptii Dimri justifies her character and handles emotional scenes well, but seen struggling with comedy.
Cinematography:
Despite a rushed first act and underdeveloped relationships, Bad Newz benefits from a light and breezy feel, with well-executed comedic moments that keep the audience entertained. The film's pacing suffers at times, but the catchy soundtrack and strong chemistry between the lead actors enhance the overall viewing experience.
Direction:
Directed by Anand Tiwari, Bad Newz aims to deliver laughs but falls short in executing its comedic premise effectively. While the film's comedic timing and witty dialogues keep the audience engaged, the predictable plot and over-stretched second half hinder its overall impact. The film's attempt to blend romance and comedy results in a mixed bag of clichés and laughs.
Conclusion:
Bad Newz, despite its star-studded cast and promising premise, fails to deliver on its potential. While Vicky Kaushal's standout performance adds a touch of charm to the film, the lackluster writing and shallow humor prevent it from rising above mediocrity. Overall, Bad Newz is an amusing yet forgettable comedy that struggles to leave a lasting impression.
