Missed Bad News in Theatres? Here's When and Where You Can Watch It Online!
Despite receiving positive reviews, the film didn't achieve blockbuster status at the box office, with a lifetime collection of ₹66.8 crores in India. However, for those who missed it in theatres, Bad News is set to stream on Amazon Prime Video next month.
The film Bad News, starring Vicky Kaushal, Tripti Dimri, and Ammy Virk, has remained a prominent subject of discussion in the digital sphere since the release of its trailer. This surge in online interest can be attributed to the palpable chemistry between the leads, Vicky Kaushal and Tripti Dimri, and the infectious energy of the dance number "Tauba Tauba." A comedy-drama with a distinctive narrative, Bad News has successfully captured the audience's attention. Although the film was warmly received by critics and audiences alike, its box office performance fell short of expectations, failing to translate the buzz into substantial earnings.

The Unique Concept of Bad News
Co-produced by Amazon Prime, Dharma Productions, and Leo Media Collective, Bad News delves into the intriguing phenomenon of heteropaternal superfecundation, a rare occurrence where twins, though born to the same mother, have different biological fathers. This unconventional concept is brought to life by a stellar cast, with Vicky Kaushal, Tripti Dimri, and Ammy Virk delivering compelling performances that elevate the film’s narrative.
