"Good Newwz" accommodates solid roles that let its four lead stars, essaying the two sets of Batras. Akshay Kumar is genuinely funny and Kareena strikes the vintage rom-com form we last saw in "Jab We Met". Diljit Dosanjh and Kiara Advani tend to overdo the loud Punjabi act, but manage a few laughs along the way. Between them, Varun-Deepti and Honey-Monika occupy almost all frames of the film, leaving just about sufficient space for the only two other important characters to excel -- Adil Hussain and Tisca Chopra as the expert doctors.
In that sense, "Good Newwz" must be a rare commercial Bollywood comedy without too many characters -- not even a sidekick for the hero. The mandatory mummy-daddies, chachis and mausis (necessary to nag the couples for a child) are neatly done away with after formal footage in the early parts, allowing more of the screenplay to focus on the four main players of the comic drama.
