Bad Newz, featuring Vicky Kaushal, Tritptii Dimri, and Ammy Virk, hit theaters on Friday, July 19, and it has taken everyone by surprise with its impressive opening numbers. Despite a slow start on Friday morning, the film managed to gain momentum throughout the day. Considering that Bad Newz is made on a moderate budget and isn’t a large-scale production, the trade considers these numbers to be quite good. In fact, trade experts had predicted that the film would earn around Rs 7-8 crore on its first day, and according to Sacnilk, it has indeed amassed a similar amount, with a collection of Rs 8.5 crore on Friday.

This makes it Vicky Kaushal’s biggest opener to date, surpassing the opening day collection of Uri: The Surgical Strike, which earned Rs 8.20 crore. The popularity of the film’s song “Tauba Tauba” has played a significant role in its successful opening. The trade emphasizes that good music has the power to attract audiences and contribute to a film’s success, although ultimately, the content and word-of-mouth will determine its long-term performance. With positive word-of-mouth and the weekend ahead, it is expected that Bad Newz’s numbers will continue to grow.

Additionally, the film now holds the position of the fifth highest opening film of the year thus far.Another factor working in Bad Newz’s favor is that it faces no major competition until the following week. This gives the movie a chance to maintain steady collections if it continues to receive positive word-of-mouth and performs well over the weekend. As audiences eagerly flock to theaters to experience this much-awaited film, the industry is optimistic about its prospects for success. Stay tuned to know more about it and others only with us.
