Impact
'Good Newwz' can dent 'Dabangg 3's business
Furthermore, Good Newwz is expected to dent the business of Salman Khan-starrer cop-drama Dabangg 3, which released last Friday. Notably, Dabangg's collections have already been marred by the ongoing protests over the newly-amended Citizenship Act, which were at their peak when Khan's movie came out. Dabangg earned Rs. 3cr on Friday (December 27), and reaching the Rs. 150cr mark seems tough for it.
Film
'Good Newwz' is the quirky story of two couples
Helmed by debutant director Raj Mehta, Good Newwz revolves around two couples, who get embroiled in a hilarious goof-up after a swapping of sperms at the hospital, following their decision to opt for In-vitro fertilization (IVF). It has been produced by Zee Studios, Dharma Productions, and Cape of Good Films. The movie has mostly received positive and mixed reviews from the critics.
