Funky box office Day 3: Vishwak Sen's film falters, makes only Rs 1.4 crore, to be out of theaters soon
Funky box office Day 3: Vishwak Sen's film is going down with each passing day. Despite being a weekend, the comedy caper has faltered big time

Funky is Vishwak Sen’s new film, which hit the screens as a Valentine’s Day special on February 13, 2026. Directed by Anudeep KV of Jathi Ratnalu and Prince fame, the film featured Kayadu Lohar as the female lead.
The makers interestingly cut the promos, and the punch dialogues created decent hype ahead of the film’s release. However, while the dialogues worked, the film failed to impress at the box office.
What are Funky's latest collections?
As per trade tracking portal Sacnilk, Funky witnessed a drop in collections on day three, earning ₹1.4 crore net. On day one, the film collected ₹2.2 crore, followed by ₹2 crore on day two. With this, the total three-day net stands at around ₹5.5 crore.
These numbers are considered disappointing given Vishwak Sen’s market. The India vs Pakistan cricket match further affected occupancy, especially during the afternoon and night shows in the Telugu states.
With this setback, Vishwak Sen continues to struggle for a proper hit over the last four years. The film was backed by a popular banner known for producing successful films like DJ Tillu, Sir, and Lucky Bhaskar.
Kayadu Lohar impresses big time in Funky
The only major positive from Funky is Kayadu Lohar, who impressed audiences with her screen presence and performance. She will surely get big films in the days to come.
Makers of Funky trolled big time
Producer Naga Vamsi made tall claims before the film's release, but later stated that the team was aware of the film’s shortcomings, admitting that it lacked a strong storyline and screenplay. His comments sparked trolling, with many questioning how a producer could publicly acknowledge such flaws.
Anudeep, who made a sensational debut with Jathi Ratnalu, is now facing criticism for his recent choices. While his interviews are entertaining, his films have not met box-office expectations.
Where to stream Funky on OTT?
Netflix has acquired the digital rights, and reports suggest the film may premiere on OTT within three weeks. All eyes are now on its streaming release. Stay tuned for more updates.
