 The Surgical Strike & Raazi to become Vicky Kaushal's biggest opener at the box office

Bad Newz, which hit the screens yesterday at the box office, has taken a good opening due to its pre-release buzz and great songs and trailer. As per early estimates, the romantic drama has collected around Rs 8.60 crore and emerged as the biggest opener of Vicky Kaushal beating Uri: The Surgical Strike (Rs 8.20 crore) and Raazi (Rs 7.53 crore).

Well, you might question about Sanju, which raked in Rs 34.75 crore on its opening day but that film belonged to Ranbir Kapoor as he played the titular character.

Coming back to Bad Newz, the film is expected to witness good growth today and tomorrow and has the potential to cross the Rs 30 crore mark in its opening weekend.

The film has been garnering great response from the urban audience, especially from the youth section. However, it is very important for Bad Newz to stay super strong on the weekdays, as the much-awaited Hollywood biggie Deadpool & Wolverine featuring Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman is arriving next week and is expected to get a tremendous response at the box office across the globe.

Directed by Anand Tiwari of Love Per Square Foot, Bandish Bandits, Maja Ma and Bang Baaja Baarat fame, Bad Newz also features Triptii Dimri, Ammy Virk, Sheeba Chadha and others in prominent roles.

Talking about the review, Firstpost gave the film 2.5 stars and wrote, “Vicky Kaushal steals the show as Akhil Chaddha. The way he portrayed this character it looked like a tailor-made role for him. Apart from amazing screen presence, the Punjabi munda shines in comic and emotional sequences. Ammy Virk and Triptii Dimri put their best foot forward in their respective characters. Sheeba Chadha and Neha Dhupia thus make a mark in their limited screentime.”
