Vicky
Kaushal
and
Tripti
Dimri
in
Bad
Newz.
It
may
be
called
Bad
Newz
but
Vicky
Kaushal’s
new
release
has
actually
brought
good
news
at
the
box
office.
The
film
has
emerged
as
an
instant
success.
The
signs
were
already
there:
A
well
received
trailer,
fresh
star
cast
and
chartbuster
music.
The
audiences
were
in
the
mood
to
catch
the
film
and
that
reflected
in
the
first
day
collections
itself
when
Rs
8.62
crore
(Rs
86.2
million)
came
in.
This
is
in
fact
one
of
the
best
numbers
for
a
Bollywood
release
in
2024.
The
reviews
were
positive
and
when
audience
word-of-mouth
started
spreading,
there
was
good
occupancy
in
theatres
on
the
weekend
too.
As
a
result,
the
first
weekend
score
of
the
film
stands
at
Rs
31
crore
(Rs
310
million).
The
film
has
been
made
at
a
moderate
budget
and
hence
the
recovery
has
already
been
made
through
OTT,
satellite
and
music
rights.
Whatever
is
coming
in
from
the
Indian
theatrical
business
is
a
bonus.
Vicky
Kaushal,
Triptii
Dimri
and
Ammy
Virk
promoted
the
film
quite
well
and
it’s
paying
off.
Note:
All
collections
as
per
various
box
office
sources.
