Bollywood film 'Bad Newz' is out in theatres. Directed by Anand Tiwari and written by Ishita Moitra and Tarun Dudeja, the film stars Vicky Kaushal and Triptii Dimri in lead roles.
The concept of hetero-paternal superfecundation is at the centre of the story. In short, it is about one pregnancy (twins) caused by two fathers! The Hindi film draws its concept from Biology but there is a precedent in cinema. Previously, a similar premise has been touched upon by the American television movie 'Double Mommy'.
"The good news: the first half, silly and sparkly, is altogether fun. The bad newz: the second half, taken over by sighs and moans, is a mood kill. Overall, mixed bag," wrote Indian Express.
"It’s a pity then that Indian films cannot see motherhood without eventually succumbing to melodrama. Families join the fray with all the attendant fuss and bother," wrote Scroll in its review. "Vicky Kaushal's swag salvages predictable rom-com; Triptii Dimri is only hot, not happening," wrote Hindustan Times.
