The teaser of Funky is unexpected on two fronts. Vishwak Sen has taken a new direction with a distinct brand of comedy. Second, the film seems to take a slight dig at some of the uncreative aspects of mass films.
Director Anudeep KV's genre of humour is irreverent in a good way. Even his Prince was quite underrated. He is one filmmaker who can make satires acquire the screwball vibe of a Jabardasth skit minus the vulgarity. Funky could be his next big hit after Jathi Ratnalu.
Produced by Sithara Entertainments and Fortune Four Cinemas, the meta comedy film has music composed by the much-happening Bheems Ceciroleo. A folk song from him, with Anudeep's cool imagination, could be unexpectedly whistle-worthy. It's also good that Vishwak Sen's energy is not routine; he sounds gentle even when he is annoying someone he owes his movie to. Kayadu Lohar plays the female lead.
Also starring VK Naresh, VTV Ganesh and others, Funky is jointly produced by Naga Vamsi S and Sai Soujanya. Suresh Sarangam (cinematography), Navin Nooli (editing), and Jonny Shaik (art direction) have worked on the movie. Mohan Sato of Prince (2022), Virata Parvam (2022) and Needi Naadi Oke Katha (2018) has co-written Funky.
