Rating Score -> 3/5

Good Newwz comes across as a sweet, feel-good entertainer with sparkling performances from Akshay Kumar and Kareena Kapoor. If a little more effort and realism was taken in writing post-interval scenes, then this could have been the Best Newwz of the month for Bollywood fans.

Rating Score -> 3/5

Based on a subject many find uncomfortable discussing, this comedy could’ve started an important dialogue that normalises the idea of opting for IVF. But the excessive melodrama that dominates the second half, renders this one as a mildly humourous watch with a misplaced moral.

Rating Score -> 3.5/5

'Good Newwz' is an easy, breezy entertainer -- with four exceptionally brilliant leads. It is not even a one-time watch -- the film has a kind-of repeat value, rarely seen in the current crop of comedy movies. Watch it -- with your family -- for Akshay Kumar's comic timing, Diljit Dosanjh's desi-ness, Kareena Kapoor's gorgeousness, and Tisca Chopra and Adil Hussain's special appearances, but largely for the **genuine** peals of laughter you would burst into.

An urbane comedy with the fresh subject of a pregnancy switcheroo, Good Newwz may well be the family entertainer that city slickers opt for this weekend.

Rating Score -> 3/5

The film works best when it is being its bawdy, silly, raucous self. It dips when it veers towards bring-out-the-hankies emotion bowing to the dictum of ‘how can a Bollywood film not make you laugh and cry at the same time’. When will filmmakers get past this hoary belief? Still, Good Newwz is not half bad at all.

Rating Score -> 3.5/5

To sum it up, Good Newwz is a fairly entertaining and highly watchable film and if not for anything else, see it for the absoute delight that Akshay and Kareena's magical chemistry.

Rating Score -> 3.5/5

Evaluating the good and bad of the film, I must say this is a MUST WATCH to end the decade on a high note. Not just in this year, but even throughout the whole decade, you have seen much much better films, but ‘Good Newwz’ isn’t a harm to watch at least 2-3 times. I am going with three and a half stars for the film.

All in all, Good Newwz has the right mix of ingredients and makes for a timely entertainer in this season of cheer. Not preachy or over the top, this light-hearted comic caper is the perfect way to end the year with. It is good news indeed for the audience.

Rating Score -> 4/5

Good Newwz has turned out to be just like how it looked in the trailer - no less no more. Although the film is predictable, the way it has been depicted on screen is simply amazing as it shows the lives of two couples getting intertwined due to a medical error.

On the whole, Good Newwz is a sureshot hit. It will easily join the Rs. 100-crore club soon and will keep everyone (public, producers, distributors and exhibitors) happy. The film has already recovered almost the entire investment in it from non-theatrical revenues and hence almost the entire theatrical shares from India and Overseas will be profit.

The good thing about Good Newwz then is that it gives Kumar a much needed opportunity to shed the boring nobility, let his hair down and play a normal man next door, one who can be despicable and offensive but perhaps not irredeemably so.

Rating Score -> 3/5

But you shouldn’t abort the idea of watching the film based on those tiny bumps. There’s a lot of fun to be had in the splendidly-acted ‘Good Newwz’ featuring a clutch of accomplished actors who breathe life into this breezy entertainer. The movie delivers the cinematic goods and ends 2019 with a big bang.

Rating Score -> 3/5

The film manages to throw in the essential moral science lesson in the end, but the comment -- about responsibilities of parenthood, as men and women often differently regard it -- is never too heavy to overshadow the film's feel-good zeal.

But the best thing about Good Newwz is that it doesn't preach or appear to be in-your-face with what it says, it's just a story of confusion that the makers have designed and described as the biggest goof-up of the year. Had it been as moralistic as some of the other recent Bollywood films, that would have been the real goof-up.

A looser, more unbound comic actor Akshay Kumar may have become but it’s the actress who plays his wife, who pulls this whole enterprise together. Beset by a Princess Syndrome in the past, Kareena Kapoor reigns over this pandemonium like a stately queen.

Rating Score -> 3/5

During the promotions of Good Newwz, Akshay promised that they are trying to bring the serious subject of IVF "thoda commercially." In that, Akshay and team have only been semi-successful. But is it enough? We fear, in posterity, it is not. And that Good Newwz will remain a one-time watch at best.
