Funky is Anudeep KV's latest comedy-drama starring Vishwak Sen and Kayadu Lohar in lead roles and produced by Sithara Entertainments. The teaser and trailer of the film promised an entertaining ride and let us see in the review below whether the film lives up to expectations.
Story:
The film revolves around Komal, played by Vishwak Sen, a director whose shooting is suddenly canceled. Somehow he manages to convince Chitra, played by Kayadu Lohar, the producer's daughter, to restart the project. The rest of the story follows the development of their relationship and the challenges they face during filming.
performances:
Vishwak Sen plays an innocent and naive character. But there is nothing special about his performance or character. Kayadu Lohar looks beautiful on screen but her role offers very little scope.
Veteran actors Naresh and Sampath Raj are decent in their supporting roles. Muralidhar Goud appears in a single scene and brings a bit of fun. Pammi Sai and the rest of the cast fit their roles well.
analysis:
Directed by Anudeep KV, known for Jathi Ratnalu and Prince, Funky aims to be an all-out comedy entertainer full of gags and punch dialogues. However, apart from a few scenes, the humor seems more forced than natural.
The first half of the film starts decently and offers scattered laughs, especially in the hospital scene and some moments with Sampath Raj. But the comedy lacks consistency.
The second half is in the same vein, including the climax where only a handful of jokes here and there work. The film's biggest problem is its lack of flow. The narrative feels disjointed and the characters don't seem as truly innocent or naive as intended.
Positive:
- Comedy scenes here and there
Negatives:
- Bad script
- Weak characters
- Scenes too silly
- Staged humor
Funky review and verdict:
Anudeep KV's Funky wants to be a hilarious ride but only manages to deliver laughs in a few moments. The forced comedy and the boring script prevent the film from being truly entertaining.
