Director Anudeep KV's Telugu movie Funky starring Vishwak Sen, VK Naresh and Kayadu Lohar has received mixed reviews and average ratings from the audience around the world.
Funky is a comedy movie, which has been written by Anudeep KV and Mohansato. Maya lives to dance, but later reality dims her dreams. A quirky local crew reignites her passion through rehearsals, jam sessions, and street battles. With her new friends, she learns to embrace the chaos and be unapologetically herself.
A story set in the world of filmmaking takes a light dig at cinema and its people. The narration is like a compilation of comedy scenes without an organic flow. The jokes work only in a few places, but the rest feels completely silly and gets irritating. Vishwak does not fit this style of comedy. Anudeep's writing feels too repetitive and outdated, with very little story.
Here are some reviews and ratings of the movie Funky shared on X:

#Funky Below Par 1st Half! Typical Anudeep style one-liner comedy. A few jokes work, but most fall flat and feel overly silly. Choppy editing makes the narration feel like a compilation of comedy scenes without an organic flow. #Funky A silly, over the top comedy where a few jokes land, but the rest is a complete dud! The film is in the typical Anudeep style comedy zone, banking heavily on one-liners. The jokes work only in a few places, but the rest feels completely silly and gets irritating. The bad editing makes it feel like compilation of comedy scenes. The dubbing is also off. Vishwak does not fit this style of comedy. Anudeep's writing feels too repetitive and outdated, with very little story. Rating: 2/5

#Funky Review: Low Voltage Jathi Ratnalu Anudeep still feels stuck in the Jathi Ratnalu zone. Nothing wrong with that, but this time the naive innocence that made it work is mostly missing in Funky even though some jokes do keep clicking well in both halves. The bigger problem is the uneven flow. Naveen Polishetty lit up Jathi Ratnalu. That magic is missing here for Vishwak. Rating: 2/5

#Funky Review : Funky aims to be a light, quirky comedy built around quick jokes and exaggerated situations. A few moments genuinely make you smile, but the humour doesn't stay consistent throughout. The story feels thin, and some scenes don't flow smoothly. Technical issues like editing and dubbing also affect the overall experience. Vishwak tries something different here, but the tone doesn't fully suit him. Overall, it has a few bright spots but doesn't quite come together as a satisfying comedy. Rating: 2.25/5

#Funky is a cinematic headache disguised as comedy. Feels like deleted scenes dumped into a timeline with zero restraint. #Anudeep recycles the same tired gags, and @VishwakSenActor looks stranded in the chaos. One or two laughs. Two hours of regret.
Desi Reviewer @desireviewer10
#funky first half of the movie is quite entertaining, with several good comedy scenes that keep it watchable throughout. While the comedy timing isn't exceptional, it still delivers decent laughs. The cameo appearances by @vamsi84 and @dilraju add a simple touch. The most hilarious moments come whenever the "Chilara Batch" appears on screen-they truly steal the show with their antics.

Anudeep's one liners worked here and there, but the editing is terrible. Bheems Non Sync BGM is irritating. Anudeep disappointed. Vishwak didn't suit the role at all. People were literally walking out. 2/5 #Funky
