Through much of its runtime, director Raj Mehta ensures that 'Good Newwz' stays true to its genre with several light-hearted and funny moments. And the performances are top-notch, too.

Good Newwz review :
Badaltey sperms ka terror!! Whats this unique comedy of error..
Generating LOL through interchange of twins or doppelgangers has been subject matter for many Bollywood hits in the past. With Good Newwz, this adla-badli genre (if it can be called that!) goes two steps further with sperms getting interchanged during an IVF (in-vitro fertilization) procedure and causing havoc for the two Batra couples.
Varun (Akshay Kumar) and Deepti Batra (Kareena Kapoor) are the hi-fi mumbaiites at one end of this sperm swap while Honey (Diljit Dosanjh) and Monika Batra (Kiara Advani), a boisterously loud Chandigarh couple, are the other affected party due to their fertility expert's (Adil Hussain) negligence. As both Deepti and Moni get pregnant, Honey decides to shift lock, stock and barrel as Varun's neighbour so as to keep an eye on Deepti bearing his biological child.
Right from the hilarious opening banter between Akshay and Kareena, Good Newwz keeps you thoroughly entertained throughout its two hour fifteen minutes of run time. Particularly, the first half is sure to bring the house down with its non stop gags and solid punch lines. The second half gets tad serious which ofcourse, is essential for the plot. Note the superbly executed Kareena's monologue to Akshay on problem every mother faces to give birth to a child. Truly heartfelt that!
More on the positive, Akshay Kumar is in top form with his perfect comic timing. Kareena Kapoor looks absolutely gorgeous and reaffirms her acting mettle in the aforementioned monologue scene. Diljit Dosanjh, a brilliant actor that he is, keeps us invested in a character which is so loud and over the top. Kiara Advani is sincere. So are Adil Hussain and Tisca Chopra as the gynaecs.
On the tech front, Vishnu Rao's cinematography is top notch. Trust me, Mumbai has never looked so beautiful. The songs are mostly well known Punjabi remixes and the end credit one is the only original number as Producer Karan Johar announces in his special appearance.
Debutant director Raj Mehta and writer Jyoti Kapoor deserve applause for giving a nice comic touch to such a sensitive topic and making Good Newzz a light breezy entertainer to be enjoyed with family and friends.
An ideal holiday movie indeed!
