Despite competition from Salman Khan's Dabangg 3, Good Newwz has held its own and surprised audiences with its wit and social message. A mid-day review of the film reads, "It's to the credit of Akshay Kumar, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Diljit Dosanjh and Kiara Advani that the film feels more entertaining than it could have been at the hands of another ensemble. Kumar can pull off comedy even in his sleep, Kapoor Khan knows how to marry slick and style, Dosanjh has that likability that makes him one of the most endearing artists around, and Advani gets some amusing and sublimely silly moments to display her comic chops."
With such a positive review and such good box office numbers, will you be watching Good Newwz this weekend?
