He also said that 'Good Newwz' would add to its number another week as no major film hits the screens as of now. As per Adarsh, Akshay and Kareena's film might cross the Rs 150-crore mark and eyes on scoring a double century.


"With no major film this week, it's advantage Good Newwz for one more week... Should hit Rs 150 cr in Weekend 2... Target Rs 200 cr can be achieved if it trends well on weekdays, which, in turn, will help programming in Week 3, when Tanhaji, Chhapaak and Darbar arrive," he wrote.
