The romantic comedy “Funky”, starring Vishwak Sen and Kayadhu Lohar, opened in theatres on February 13 with a strong first-day turnout. However, attendance dropped significantly by the third day, especially during evening and night shows.
Box Office Performance and OTT Plans
Trade sources report that “Funky” did not reach expected collections by day three. One main reason was the India vs. Pakistan cricket match, which drew audiences away from theatres.
With theatre attendance declining, the team now focuses on the digital release. Netflix has acquired the streaming rights, and while the OTT release date is not yet announced, producers are confident the film will reach a wider audience online.
Film Production and Cast
Directed by Anudeep KV, “Funky” blends romance and comedy with a behind-the-scenes look at filmmaking. Vishwak Sen plays Komal, an aspiring director, while Kayadhu Lohar portrays Chitra. Supporting actors include Naresh, VTV Ganesh, Sampath Raj, and Raghu Babu.
The film is produced by Naga Vamsi and Sai Soujanya. Music is composed by Bheems Ceciroleo, and cinematographer Suresh Sarangam gives the movie a vibrant visual style.
Plot Overview
Komal dreams of making his first film, but exceeds the budget, causing producer Sudarshan (Naresh) to fall ill from stress. Komal loses his position as director, and Chitra takes over the project.
The story follows their struggles to complete the film and explores how Komal and Chitra gradually fall in love while facing challenges on set.
Future Outlook
The theatrical run has slowed, but the Netflix release offers a chance for “Funky” to reach more viewers. Fans of Vishwak Sen and romantic comedies are eagerly waiting for the OTT premiere, which could boost the film’s popularity.
In summary, “Funky” delivers a mix of romance, comedy, and the challenges of filmmaking. Its success on OTT platforms may redefine its overall performance and bring renewed attention to the movie.
