Funky Overseas Review: The Telugu film Funky, starring Vishwak Sen and Kayadu Lohar, had its overseas premieres a few hours ahead of its theatrical release in India on February 13, 2026. As a result, early viewers abroad, particularly in the United States, took to social media to share their first impressions soon after the screenings concluded.
Headlined by Vishwak Sen and Kayadu Lohar, the film is directed by Anudeep KV. It has been produced by Naga Vamsi and Sai Soujanya under the banners of Sithara Entertainments and Fortune Four Cinemas and is presented by Srikara Studios. The project also features Naresh, VTV Ganesh, and others in supporting roles.
Following the overseas screenings, viewers who attended the early shows began sharing their immediate reactions on social media, particularly on X (formerly Twitter). These posts typically consist of brief first impressions rather than detailed analysis. As with most early reactions, they reflect personal responses shared shortly after watching the film. Below are some of the early audience reactions shared online:

It is important to note that such initial online posts represent a limited group of viewers and may not fully capture the broader audience sentiment. More comprehensive assessments are expected once the film completes its wider theatrical rollout.
Funky Technical Crew Details
From a technical standpoint, Funky brings together several established names in Telugu cinema. The music has been composed by Bheems Ceciroleo, while cinematography is handled by Suresh Sarangam and editing by Navin Nooli. The screenplay has been written by Anudeep KV along with Mohan Sato.
