Akshay Kumar’s Good Newwz deals with a yet amazing important topic for the society, IVF (In vitro fertilization). The film also stars Kareena Kapoor Khan, Kiara Advani and Diljit Dosanjh in prominent roles. Good Newwz is a comedy film that seems to be highlighting an important issue of couples who can’t conceive in a natural way and hence opts out for IVF or surrogacy.
These days Bollywood comedies are often considered sexist for the kind of dialogues that have been used in the film. Slapstick and sexist comedy has become two common genres these days for filmmakers to entertain the mass. Recently, Kartik Aaryan’s monologue from Pati Patni Aur Woh got bashed by the audiences and got labelled sexist and hence the makers had to modify it.
Talking about slapstick and sexist comedy in the industry Akshay said, “There are many many Hollywood slapstick comedies also but everybody that time writes three stars, four stars. It’s just a character, we speak when we feel like but it’s just comedy and I take it like that. When I see somebody else’s film whether it’s anybody, I go in that kind of mood. I sit with my children, we watch it laugh.”
