The film had an overall 26.81 per cent Hindi occupancy on Saturday, with maximum occupancy seen in night shows at 37.51 per cent. In Mumbai, a few more screens were added, and the film’s occupancy in the city came up to 23.50 per cent. A similar case was observed in the NCR, where its occupancy was 31.50 per cent.

Bad Newz, which also stars Triptii Dimri and Ammy Virk, opened at the box office with Rs 8.3 crore. This was the biggest opener of Vicky Kaushal’s career, even surpassing his previous hit Uri, which had minted Rs 8.20 crore on the opening day. His other hits like Raazi and Sam Bahadur had minted Rs 7.53 crore and Rs 6.25 crore, respectively.

Vicky received a shoutout for his film from his wife, Katrina Kaif. She took to her Instagram story and wrote,, “And it’s hereeee… just too much fun this was, Bromance gets a new meaning with the Punjabi boys, effortless timing and chemistry….. @vickykaushal09 u always amaze me with your ease and the joy u bring on screen @ammyvirk Just loved you in every scene @tripti dimri you are just (used star eyed emoji) Congratulations to@bindraamritpal @anandntiwari @karanjohar.”

Directed by Anand Tiwari, Bad Newz features Neha Dhupia and boasts special cameos by Ananya Panday and Neha Sharma. The film is a fresh take on the traditional romantic comedy by delving into the chaotic and unconventional concept of heteropaternal superfecundation—a scenario where two fathers share a child with the same mother.
