What is the story of the Bad Newz movie? Deep Analysis :
At the beginning of the movie, the Bollywood superstar decides to do a biopic, so she meets the same real-life inspiration, Bandi. This story is about Saloni, a Meraki Award winner for Best Safe. Then, Saloni starts telling her story to Ananya, and it is about a wedding. Saloni’s mom has forcefully brought her here so that Sunny would like a boy and get married, but Sunny’s dream is to win the Meraki Award. So, she is not interested in boys, but today everything is going to change because Akhil Chaddha comes into the field. Both of them dance at this wedding and impress each other. Akhil’s mom also pressures him to like a girl. When she brought him, she came out, and Akhil and Saloni were attracted to each other, but now the problem is that Saloni does not want a relationship. She likes him but needs to focus on her dream. However, if she’s sowed, she’s sowed. Now, he is not going to go so easily he convinces Saloni to keep him on trial. Saloni also likes Akhil, so the trial period is successful, and Saloni says yes to him for marriage, then both of them get married.
Then Saloni finds out that Akhil is a mother’s boy, which is not a problem. It is a good thing, but when he is on honeymoon and Akhil is talking to his mother on the phone every hour, it is too much for Saloni. Saloni gets angry when she starts feeling lonely, and then Akhil tells her that he has phonophobia. He cannot stay away from his phone because his father suffered a heart attack in the past while he was having fun with his friends. Akhil’s aunt tried to call him many times, but his phone wasn’t reachable, so she had to manage the ambulance and hospital alone. Akhil still feels guilty about that incident.
If he had picked up the call, perhaps his father would have been alive; hence now, he always answers the call and cannot keep the phone away from himself. Now everything becomes normal between them, they come back from their honeymoon, but the real issue is that Saloni has started joking about Akhil, whom she liked so much before. Akhil was impressed by her attitude but now started coming in the way of her dreams.
Akhil regularly visits Saloni’s workplace on one pretext or another, sometimes with a cake, sometimes with a relative or with his friends. Saloni notices all these distractions. She starts moving away from her career and dreams. Now, Saloni does not like all this.
One day Akhil raises his hand to a customer because he had spoken rudely to Saloni. Saloni’s job was at risk today, so now Saloni stays at home. She fights with Akhil and shows him in the mirror that he spends his father’s money and has never done anything himself, so he doesn’t know the value of dreams. His mother has spoiled him out of love. Akhil’s aunt hears all this and gets hurt. Akhil listens to everything but cannot bear to see his mom getting hurt, so he drives Saloni out of the house. Saloni returns to her house.
The next day Saloni has a presentation to show her talent for the award, but she can’t say anything and gets disqualified. She gets fired from the job. Now Saloni goes to Akhil’s house and apologizes to his mother for those things. But now her dream breaks because of Akhil. Saloni cannot forgive him, asks for a divorce, and goes to Mussoorie to work. She will work as the head chef in the hotel here and will fulfil her dream again. The owner of this hotel is Kulbir. Kulbir is a very sweet man whom no one can hate. Kulbir also had a heartbreak in the past with a Gujarati girl. Kulbir was ready to become a vegetarian for her, but she didn’t agree to eat non-veg for a day, which is why they broke up. Kulbir has a crush on Saloni.
Saloni understands everything but is worried about her divorce papers. On the other hand, after the divorce, Akhil starts dating other girls. He moves on, but Saloni does not. When Saloni finds out about it, she drinks in anger and decides to move on with Kulbir. Poor Kulbir suggests taking things slowly, but Saloni wants to move on today itself. Both of them get intimate, and then, when Saloni returns to her room, Akhil is hiding there with a cake.
Today, he comes to apologize and convince Saloni. Akhil dated other girls but did not find happiness anywhere, so now he has come back to get Saloni. Saloni forgives him and allows him to love her, meaning one night, Saloni becomes intimate with Akhil too. After six weeks, she discovers she is pregnant. Now the problem is whose child it is. Saloni confides in her aunt but cannot share this with anyone else. The doctor advises her to get a paternity test done. The aunt refuses to tell the boys about the baby and suggests an abortion to quickly resolve the matter, but Saloni wants to talk to the father of the child first. So, she tells both Akhil and Kulbir about the pregnancy. Both of them are happy. Kulbir is also ready to take responsibility for the child.
But when she learns about the paternity test, both of them are shocked. She was not in a relationship with Kulbir; it was just a one-night stand with mutual consent. Kulbir does not react negatively but feels something wrong happened to him, and Akhil is at a loss for words.
Now, both of them come to the hospital. Here too, Akhil shows his arrogance and insists that the baby cannot be Kulbir’s; it is his. But then Saloni comes and calms them down. A paternity test is done, and the result reveals that Saloni is carrying twins—one baby of Akhil and one of Kulbir. If this news gets out, nothing will happen to the boys, but Saloni’s life will become hell online and offline. The aunt suggests handing over the babies to their fathers so she can be free, but Saloni will not separate the babies. Both babies will call one person their father.
Saloni just has to decide who will be the best father for the babies until their delivery. Outside, these two boys are fighting among themselves. Then Kulbir says that if they keep fighting, Saloni’s aunt might get her married to someone else. They will have to put aside their fight and stay with Saloni. They start living together and taking care of her. Along with the care, there is always a competition between them to spend more time with Saloni. Their fight and the pretence of care compromise Saloni’s happiness. Saloni gets upset with their fight and throws them out of the house.
Then, on the job, Kulbir tells Saloni that he had told her earlier to take everything slowly, but everything happened so quickly that he felt uneasy. Since he couldn’t show his real self, Saloni gives him a chance and goes on a date. Saloni agrees, but Akhil shows up there to fight too.
He buys the staff of that hotel and locks Kulbir in an office, keeping Kulbir away from Saloni. Asking to stay, he goes to talk to Saloni, but Saloni knows that all these problems happen because of Akhil’s antics, so she does not talk to Akhil. Then Kulbir seeks revenge on Akhil and steals his phone. Kulbir knows Akhil cannot live without his phone, but this is a small punishment. Then Akhil buys a new phone and hires a detective to follow Kulbir to prove him bad. Akhil finds out that Kulbir is a perfect guy but hides in dirty hotels. So, Akhil brings Saloni to the market on a pretext and shows her Kulbir there.
Saloni follows Kulbir to that dirty hotel and finds out that Kulbir secretly comes here to eat non-veg once a week. Akhil’s plan flops. Today, Saloni scolds him, saying that their divorce and all these problems are because of his actions. Kulbir brings that detective to her hotel. While spying, he threatens Akhil with evidence, saying if he wants to escape from the police, Akhil must disappear from there.
The detective informs Akhil’s mother about the situation so she can call Akhil back. His family comes with another relationship, and all three of them try to hide everything, but then Akhil’s mother also comes here, and everyone learns the truth about the two fathers. Kulbir’s grandfather does not want the baby; he is asking to pay for it. Akhil’s mother is only interested in Akhil’s baby and calls the other one a sin. Then, Kulbir tells Akhil’s plan. Akhil had said that Saloni would choose whomever she wanted. And someone else’s baby will help her in getting it, which means Saloni’s choice and decision on who her babies will be with was never hers. Both of them were playing till Saloni started getting stomach pains and had to be admitted to the hospital in an emergency. Saloni is unconscious.
Doctors do some tests and reveal to both fathers that Kulbir’s baby is at risk. If the baby is not delivered soon through a cesarean section, it could die. But if the operation is done, Akhil’s baby’s life will also be in danger. The doctor gets the signatures of both fathers on the operation consent form to proceed, or else Kulbir’s baby will die. Kulbir signs, but Saloni’s parents and Akhil’s mom tell him not to risk their baby and Saloni’s life for someone else’s baby.
Akhil’s mom also tells him that Saloni may not choose him after regaining consciousness, so he shouldn’t risk his baby for someone else’s. But now, Akhil feels guilty for all his mistakes and fights. He asks Saloni to speak to the doctors and sign the consent form for the operation. Saloni wants both babies to stay together, so Akhil does the same.
The operation is successful, and both babies are safe. Then Akhil tells Saloni that he used to think he was happy with her, that it was love, but now he realizes he wasn’t in love with Saloni before but now he is. Then, after Akhil leaves, Kulbir tells Saloni about Akhil’s decision to operate and how he saved both babies. After a few days, Saloni is going to get the World Meraki of Best SEP; its trial is complete, and the babies are safe. But then there is a twist. Kulbir’s ex comes to give the award. Kulbir has not forgotten Sejal and cannot face her, so he runs away.
Saloni sends Akhil to bring Kulbir back because the hotel owner must be there when the award is given. Akhil convinces Kulbir, explaining that this award is Saloni’s life. Akhil has broken this dream once, and Kulbir should not make the same mistake. Kulbir returns for Saloni and learns that Sejal also eats non-veg now. Sejal has also not forgotten him, so both of them mend their past. After receiving the award, Saloni proposes to Akhil and says she cannot understand Akhil’s love in her dream, but Akhil never leaves her alone. In the end, they get married again, and the movie has a happy ending.
