Tackling a fresh and complex subject in a simplified manner isn't an easy task. But it seems the makers have succeeded in that. Filled with great writing, neat direction, brilliant performances ; this one is surely up for full on entertainment. Those jokes, one liners will make you laugh hard as well as the emotional scenes will surely make you cry. The balance between these two contrary emotions are well maintained and they never felt carried away or exhaustive in nature. Personally I would have liked to see more from the side characters and maybe a bit more screen presence for Diljit and Kiara's Characters respectively! Although This film did deliver the Message well. I'm glad they found a right way to introduce such a Newly Adapted concept here in Bollywood. With comedy and heartwarming elements ; they made it easier to connect with the audience on the same line. Unlike most of the times when these kind of Social Awarenesses got forgotten due to the overly realistic approach from the directors or should I say more Darker Tonality in general writing of those subjects. But This mixture had hit the notes on point. Overall a surprisingly great movie that everyone can enjoy and learn from.
1st half was a laugh riot with adult comedies especially for the ones who're trying for a kid.
2nd half was a mix of sentimental/emotional and the climax was a mix of comedy, sentiment, emotions.
This is the only movie that shows the roller coaster ride of the parents going through the steps to attain a kid aka the golden pre-kid period.
Finally, a good colorful movie from Bollywood after a very long time.
The songs could've been reduced a bit, though.
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.

The 1st half of the movie is awesome with some kickass comedy from Akshay Kumar. But in the latter part is intense without any reason. There is some non sense logic in the movie which is very common in Bollywood but it also fails to leave a mark at the end. Altogether a average timepass movie.
Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe makers left no stone unturned to make the promotions unique. Taking promotions a notch up, cast members Akshay Kumar and Diljit Dosanjh experienced labour pain through electrical devices.
- GoofsAt the end after Kareena Kapoor delivered the baby, it could be seen that Kiara Advani was holding a nearly 2-3 months old baby, because the baby looked quite big and could hold its own neck. However when they entered the maternity room, Kiara was holding a different baby girl, much younger and wearing different clothes.
