Funky starring Vishwak Sen, the much awaited Telugu movie has finally hit the theatres today. The family rom-com film directed by Anudeep KV released a day ahead of the Valentine’s Day weekend.

The movie also features Kayadu Lohar, Naresh, and VTV Ganesh in pivotal roles.

Funky opened to mixed reviews from fans who watched the first day first show of the movie. Some fans and viewers took to X (formerly Twitter) to give their genuine opinions after catching the early shows of Funky First.

The movie has received mixed reactions, some viewers have called it great and fun while others have termed it as a 'dud'.

Here are some of the Twitter Reviews of Funky.

A user wrote: "A silly, over the top comedy where a few jokes land, but the rest is a complete dud!

The film is in the typical Anudeep style comedy zone, banking heavily on one-liners. The jokes work only in a few places, but the rest feels completely silly and gets irritating. The bad editing makes it feel like compilation of comedy scenes. The dubbing is also off.

Vishwak does not fit this style of comedy. Anudeep’s writing feels too repetitive and outdated, with very little story."

Another user called it 'First half adiripoyindi' (which means superb)

One more usser wrote: "Okok first half but very much entertaining 2nd half. Phata phata peltane unnay, more like satire on recent film making trends. A dish that served exactly what one expects from Anudeep."

Another reviewer mentioned: "#funky first half of the movie is quite entertaining, with several good comedy scenes that keep it watchable throughout. While the comedy timing isn't exceptional, it still delivers decent laughs.

The cameo appearances by @vamsi84 and @dilraju add a simple touch. The most hilarious moments come whenever the "Chilara Batch" appears on screen-they truly steal the show with their antics."

The film is a comedy and it is banking on one-liners.
