Critical Reception:
The film’s reception has been a mix of critique and praise. According to the Hindustan Times, “Bad Newz” is marred by familiar stereotypes, such as Punjabis’ fondness for rajma chawal, careless husbands, and career-focused women. Despite these clichés, the review highlights that the film stands out with its clever incorporation of meta-jokes. Notable references include Triptii Dimri’s character being humorously labeled as ‘Bhabhi 2’ and ‘National Crush,’ and a scene featuring a humorous dialogue about Vicky Kaushal’s character and Katrina Kaif. These moments are appreciated for their wit and originality, although the overall comedy might not be the film’s strongest suit.
