The film closed its first weekend haul at an astonishing Rs 29.55 crore, as per early estimates shared by the industry tracker. The three day haul pushes Bad Newz as the sixth-largest film of the year in terms of opening weekend collections.

Talking about the Vicky Kaushal starrer, the film is based on true occurrences and centers on the biological phenomena known as heteropaternal superfecundation, in which twin children share the same mother but distinct biological fathers.
