Released on Friday, July 19, ‘Bad Newz’ had a slow start in the morning but quickly gained momentum, largely thanks to the viral sensation of its song ‘Tauba Tauba.’ The film’s moderate budget and lack of large-scale production did not hinder its success, as it managed to captivate audiences and secure a robust opening.

Trade experts had predicted a first-day earning of around Rs 7-8 crore for ‘Bad Newz,’ but the film exceeded expectations. According to Sacnilk, the movie’s Rs 8.5 crore debut is a testament to its growing popularity, with the potential for even higher earnings as positive word of mouth continues to spread over the weekend.

With this impressive opening, ‘Bad Newz’ not only marks a significant milestone in Vicky Kaushal’s career but also positions itself as the fifth highest-grossing opening film of the year. As the weekend progresses, all eyes will be on the box office to see if ‘Bad Newz’ can maintain its strong performance and set new records.
