The trailer for Dharma Productions' latest cinematic concoction, "Bad Newz," unfurls with a tantalizing blend of humor and heart, starring the inimitable Vicky Kaushal and the charismatic Ammy Virk. In a narrative twist that could make even the bard himself envious, the plot revolves around the seldom-seen phenomenon of heteropaternal superfecundation—a scenario where two eggs are fertilized by the sperm of different men within the same menstrual cycle. This rare medical marvel becomes the fulcrum around which a delightful comedic rivalry ensues.
Our protagonist, portrayed with verve by Triptii Dimri, finds herself ensnared in a paternity predicament, revealing her quandary to the ever-reliable Neha Dhupia. Enter Vicky Kaushal and Ammy Virk, whose on-screen chemistry transforms this paternity puzzle into a rollicking roller-coaster of fatherly one-upmanship. The film's comedic crescendo is heralded by the diagnosis from Dr. Baweja, brought to life by Gaurav Manwani.
As the two contenders vie for paternal preeminence, the audience is treated to an array of uproarious competitions—be it pushups or basketball games—all orchestrated to ascertain who the superior father is. In a particularly side-splitting sequence, Ammy Virk's attempt to dismantle a poster of Katrina Kaif elicits Vicky Kaushal's hilariously possessive retort, “Yaha toh meri lash se guzarke jana hoga,” a line that ingeniously blurs the boundary between reel and real, given Vicky's off-screen relationship with the Bollywood diva.
Adding to this cinematic smorgasbord is a soundtrack that tugs at the heartstrings of 90s nostalgics, featuring a revamped version of the mellifluous "Mere Mehboob Mere Sanam," originally crooned by Alka Yagnik and Udit Narayan for the film "Duplicate." This auditory homage is but one facet of the film's multifaceted charm.
Directed with aplomb by Anand Tiwari and produced under the auspices of Amazon Prime, Dharma Productions, and Leo Media Collective, "Bad Newz" boasts an illustrious lineup of producers, including Hiroo Yash Johar, Karan Johar, Apoorva Mehta, Amritpal Singh Bindra, and Anand Tiwari. The screenplay, penned by the talented duo Ishita Moitra and Tarun Dudeja, promises to weave a tapestry of mirth and emotion.
Set to grace the silver screen on July 19, "Bad Newz" is poised to be a veritable tour de force, replete with the quintessential elements of a blockbuster: humor, heart, and a hint of the extraordinary. As audiences prepare to embark on this cinematic journey, one can only anticipate the uproarious laughter and poignant moments that await.
