Funky box office collection day 1: How much did Anudeep KV's film make?
Funky is a recently released Telugu comedy drama. Jathi Ratnalu fame director Anudeep KV, who last made Tamil film Prince starring Sivakarthikeyan in 2022, has been laying low for a while. After four years, the filmmaker's Funky has hit theatres on February 13. It stars Vishwak Sen and Kayadu Lohar in the lead roles.
As per Sacnilk report, Funky's box office collection on its first day stands at Rs 2.25 crore overall in India. Given the film does not boast tier 1 stars, it is a nominal start for the film. Even as Anudeep has a niche audience for his comic sense, Funky had opened to middling and not so favourable reviews.
What is Funky all about?
Funky revolves around a film director whose project gets stopped after his producer meets with financial issues. However, the producer's daughter takes up the responsibilities to complete the film.
