Namrata Joshi The Hindu The good thing about Good Newwz then is that it gives [Akshay] Kumar a much needed opportunity to shed the boring nobility, let his hair down and play a normal man next door, one who can be despicable and offensive but perhaps not irredeemably so. Jan 3, 2020 Full Review Shubhra Gupta The Indian Express Good Newwz works best when it is being its bawdy, silly, raucous self. Rated: 3/5 Dec 27, 2019 Full Review Udita Jhunjhunwala Livemint For Kumar, Kapoor Khan and some truly laugh-out-loud moments, Good Newwz is the lightness needed to round off the year. Dec 27, 2019 Full Review Rohan Naahar The Indian Express A deeply classist 'comedy' in which Akshay Kumar gets stoned and makes fun of somebody's English. Jul 18, 2024 Full Review Saibal Chatterjee NDTV Unfortunately, the complexity and depth inherent in the principal plot point remain beyond the ken of a screenplay that thrives on broad strokes. Rated: 2/5 Jul 14, 2020 Full Review Stutee Ghosh The Quint Overall, Good Newwz never tries to attempt something too ambitious or big or new. It's happy to be its good-looking safe self and that has worked in its favour. Rated: 3/5 Jul 10, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

Zain P Very good comedy movie Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/11/24 Full Review Audience Member watch full amazing movie online on https://glamcinema.com/ Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/25/24 Full Review Sheri S A perfectly mediocre story about a reasonably funny premise. But where the movie really drops the ball is in its portrayal of characters. Akshay's character is a straight-up an a** to everyone around him including his pregnant wife who is dealing with a lot. He also acts like a creep ogling someone else's wife for the sake of "comedy." And to make matters worse the movie draws a hard line on the abortion and adoption topics. At three separate times in the movie characters reject the idea of adoption. The movie treats adoption as a lesser form of parenting. And on the issue of abortion, it actively preaches to the audience that "all abortions are bad." Never truly considering the impact the decisions have on people's life. Because if the movie even remotely tries to talk about the issue openly, Indian audiences will immediately reject it. tl;dw of the movie is "talking about pregnancy and abortion is a good thing, as long as you decided that pregnancy is the only way to have kids, adoption is for losers, and abortion is murder." Bollywood keeps making these movies with high concepts and then doesn't bother putting any effort into the project. Akshay might think he is making these important movies on important causes, but more often than not, he makes mediocre movies that hurt the very cause. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 08/17/22 Full Review Audience Member Fun ride and has some really hilarious scenes spread out, and while the movie isn't perfect, it's a good choice to lighten up your mood. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member 1st half was dragging and jokes were hit or miss,2nd half was emotional and satisfying , some songs were unneccesarry but Overall the sweetness and the topic of parenthood and abortion was amazingly handled, its a good movie! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member No story, distilled comedy, waste of time Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Read all reviews
