The recent release Bad Newz, directed by Anand Tiwari and produced by Karan Johar, has been making waves at the box office. Featuring Vicky Kaushal, Triptii Dimri, and Ammy Virk, this film has captivated audiences with its engaging storyline and stellar performances.
Strong Opening Weekend
Bad Newz enjoyed a robust start, grossing an impressive Rs 29.85 crore over its first weekend. The film maintained its momentum into the first Monday, adding Rs 3.50 crore to its total. This brings the 4-day cumulative collection to Rs 33.35 crore.
Promotional Strategies and Audience Engagement
To bolster its Monday earnings, a buy-one-get-one offer was introduced. This likely contributed to the stable footfall. Despite a 40% drop from its Friday earnings, this strategy helped maintain audience interest.
