Good Newwz (2019)
6/10
The laughs are too few and far between in this comedy, which peters to a damp squib by the end
2 January 2020
Although Good Newwz handles a fresh subject and has its heart in the right place, the Laugh-out-loud moments are too few and far apart to keep you engaged. Kareena Kapoor excels in both the comedy scenes and one crunch emotional sequence in the second half, but is let down by her male co-star Akshay Kumar who as usual, becomes a damp squib in a role requiring genuine acting chops.

Diljith Dosanj is delightful in the initial scenes with his energy and comic timing, but his stereotype-ka-baap role as the loud, I-dont-know-English Punjabi 'Honey Batra' becomes stale and repetitive as the movie drags on. Kabir Singh-fame Kiara Advani is wasted and hardly has anything to do the whole movie.

Watch at your own risk!
