According to reports, the film garnered a total of 66 crores ($9.25 million) by Sunday, 29 December, but the film’s producer Karan Johar posted that it has received a business of Rs 64.99 crores (approximately $9.1 million), a figure that is less than what the trade analysts are actually stating.
This has angered netizens who feel that the filmmaker is trying to malign the image of lead actor Akshay, known for giving back to back hits.

Social media users requested the Bollywood superstar not to work with Karan Johar again as he allegedly did the same with Akshay Kumar’s previous film “Kesari”, which also earned more than what Johar stated.
TWEETS:
Good Newwz has collected 70.32 Cr in it's 1st weekend. But producer's are decreasing it's collection by 1-2 Cr everyday. Same happened to Kesari too. Kesari collected 161.18 Cr, but producer's decreased it to 154.41 Cr.

Some said this was the first time in history that a producer's figure was less than actual collections because Johar wanted to pocket the higher profit.
The whole trade is given 66 cr weekend!
