Funky: Hit Or Flop? The Telugu film Funky released in theatres on February 13, 2026, marking its official arrival on the big screen. Headlined by Vishwak Sen and Kayadu Lohar, the film is directed by Anudeep KV and produced by Naga Vamsi S and Sai Soujanya under the banners of Sithara Entertainments and Fortune Four Cinemas. It is presented by Srikara Studios.
As with most theatrical releases, discussions began online shortly after the early screenings concluded. Viewers who attended premiere shows and early morning shows took to X (formerly Twitter) to share their immediate impressions. These posts represent the first wave of public engagement with the film, though they are generally brief reactions rather than detailed critiques.
The question of whether Funky will ultimately be declared a “hit” or “flop” has already begun circulating in online conversations. However, such outcomes are typically determined by several factors, including box office collections over the opening weekend, sustained footfall in subsequent days, and the overall critical response. On release day, it remains too early to draw firm conclusions about commercial performance. Below are some of the early social media reactions.
#Funky A Complete Below Average Outdated Outing ! The director’s style feels old and boring now . There is almost no plot. It feels like a bunch of random comedy clips joined together. Amateur dubbing & Editing will disturb the experience .

40. #Funky
Expected this would be terrible & it didn’t disappoint. What made me most frustrated while watching the film was how badly it was edited & how misfit Vishwak & his comedy timing feel. Entire film feels extremely random, with one bad joke after another. Pathetic!🤮 pic.twitter.com/seeConkb2N

As with most opening-day responses, these reactions represent a limited section of viewers. A clearer picture of the film’s reception is expected to emerge over the weekend.
