In his review for NDTV, film critic Saibal Chatterjee gave the film 2 stars out of 5 and he wrote, “Bad Newz, Dharma Productions’ follow-up to the far more perky (if not more quirky) Good Newwz(2019), which hinged on a couple of in-vitro fertilizations gone wrong, relies on Vicky Kaushal to pull it out of the fire. The lead actor gives the role of a brash and rash West Delhi momma’s boy his all when a bit of temperance would have stood him in better stead.”
