The film then witnessed nearly 25% growth on its first Saturday (July 20) despite facing competition from the holdover release ‘Kalki 2898 AD’, which hit screens on June 27.
‘Bad Newz’ Has A Good Day 2 At The Box Office

‘Bad Newz’ faces no competition from ‘Sarfira’ and ‘Indian 2’, especially in Hindi as both films have failed to make an impact at the box office. The comedy-drama may, however, still face competition from ‘Kalki 2898 AD’ despite its reduced screen count. The Prabhas-led dystopian drama has emerged as a global sensation and is still the top choice of fans especially in the Hindi and Telugu markets. The mixed word-of-mouth might also affect ‘Bad Newz’ in the long run.
