Bad Newz, despite having a slow opening, is still consistent and slowly growing on the audience. With the audience singing “Tauba Tauba,” the film has crossed a massive Bollywood milestone. Though Kalki has been breathing down its neck, Bad Newz’s ticket sales have been really good.
As of now, it has crossed the 1 million mark on BookMyShow.
Why is this so important?
Bad Newz has that progressive tag all over it. And what is the audience for a film like this? Tier 1 cities, where BookMyShow is the top choice. That 1.18 million in ticket sales looks good, as a huge chunk of it came from Tier 1 cities.
The film now sits in eighth place in terms of the highest ticket sales for Bollywood films in 2024. Fighter holds the top spot with 3.68 million and is followed by Shaitaan with 2.97 million in sales. Munjya also takes a deserving 2.14 million in ticket sales on BMS.
Speaking of the big numbers, Bad Newz has definitely redeemed itself with longevity. Plus, when the Hindi belt and North Indian audiences were content with Kalki, the adult comedy Bad Newz brought a breath of fresh air.
