WHEN IT RELEASED IN December 2019, Good Newwz was anything but for Dr Jatin Shah’s fertility and IVF clinic at Grant Road in Mumbai. Bollywood’s goto doc for surrogacy, who counts Shah Rukh Khan, Karan Johar and Sohail Khan among his clients, Shah found himself reassuring anxious couples who wondered if their sperm too, like in Raj Mehta’s comedy of errors, had gone to someone else. Starring Kareena Kapoor Khan, Akshay Kumar, Diljit Dosanjh and Kiara Advani, Good Newwz follows the woes of two couples whose lives are upturned by a goofup in a fertility clinic. Shah’s patients, though, did not find the prospect funny at all.
Good Newwz grossed Rs 196 crore at the box office. But it’s not the only pregnancy centric flick to have caught people’s attention—and rake in the moolah too. A year earlier, Badhaai Ho had audiences hooked with its bitter sweet storyline of a 50some thing woman’s (played by Neena Gupta) accidental pregnancy becoming a source of embarrassment for her 20something son (Ayush mann Khurrana) and fodder for gossip among neighbours and relatives. And 2021, in particular, was surprisingly fertile for pregnancy scripts, as Kriti Sanon starred in Mimi, a Netflix film in which a young surrogate’s life gets upended when her foreign sponsors change their mind about having a child; Taapsee Pannu’s sprinter doesn’t let pregnancy be a hurdle in her athletic ambitions in Rashmi Rocket on ZEE5; Nushrratt Bharuccha plays an expectant mother who battles ghosts and orthodox mindsets in the horror movie Chhorii on Amazon Prime.
