The first song from Dharma Productions’ Good Newwz is finally here and it oozes glamour and swag as Akshay Kumar, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Diljit Dosanjh and Kiara Advani dance to the tunes of ‘Chandigarh Mein’.
Sung by Harrdy Sandhu, Lisa Mishra and Asees Kaur, the song also has a rap by Badshah. Harrdy and Badshah also feature in the song’s video along with the actors, making it a full house. The song has been penned by Tanishk Bagchi, but interestingly, is not a remix.
At the beginning of the song, even Karan Johar makes an appearance and says, “Oh my God! This is original!”. Last, he made such appearance in Simmba’s ‘Aankh Maarey’ in which he said, “Oh God! One more remix?”
Kareena and Kiara, in the song, reminds one of the former’s character Poo in Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham, while Akshay and Diljit are being their goofy selves. Kiara and Akshay, along with Badshah and Harrdy Sandhu were in Chandigarh to launch the song.
Good Newwz is a light-hearted comedy that follows the lives of two married couples. Coincidentally, both couples go by the same surname i.e. Batra. They are both also struggling to conceive. Trouble begins when both the couples, following their IVF treatments, show up at a hospital and are informed about the logistical error that has led to Akshay Kumar and Diljit Dosanjh’s sperm being misplaced in the procedure. This confusion leads to even more confusion as the couples find that their paths are coinciding, whether or not they like it.
