Film trade analyst Sumit Kadel has predicted that Good Newwz could make a lifetime collection of around Rs 160-200 crore. This film faces tough competition from Dabanng 3, but the Salman Khan film has not yet raked in the expected numbers owing to protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA). Trade analyst Taran Adarsh has termed Good Newwz a "sure-fire hit" film, which is full of "smart writing, fantastic humour and heartfelt emotions". He said in his tweet that the year 2019 will "conclude with a big winner with Good Newwz."

Good Newwz's trailer garnered a lot of attention due to its humorous punch lines. What excited the fans is the chemistry between Akshay Kumar and Kareena Kapoor Khan and also, the impeccable comedic timing that is shown by the famous singer and actor Diljit Dosanjh in the trailer. The concept of the film is very new and fresh as the movie talks about IVF (in-vitro fertilisation) without making it preachy.
