Funky Box Office Disaster: Vishwak Sen’s Valentine’s Week Rom-Com Earns Just ₹8.65 Cr

Well, that didn’t go as planned. Funky, the Telugu romantic comedy starring Vishwak Sen and Kayadu Lohar, had every reason to pop — a Valentine’s week release, a well-known leading man, and a quirky concept. But the numbers tell a different, rather grim story.

After seven days in theatres, Funky has wrapped its opening week with just ₹8.65 crore gross at the Indian box office. For a film that debuted on the biggest romantic holiday of the year, that’s a painful miss.

What Went Wrong?

The film follows a quirky, ambitious filmmaker who lands an unlikely producer — and the two end up falling for each other amid all the chaos of making a movie. On paper, it’s a charming, relatable premise. But audiences simply didn’t connect with it enough to sustain word-of-mouth momentum.

What’s particularly damaging is the Day 2 drop. Valentine’s Day should have been Funky’s biggest single day — the film literally exists for that audience — and yet collections actually declined from opening day. That’s a brutal signal.

The supporting cast includes VTV Ganesh, Naresh, Sampath Raj, and Easwari Rao, but even familiar faces couldn’t lift the film’s prospects.

Telugu cinema has seen romantic comedies thrive when word-of-mouth is strong — but Funky simply didn’t generate the buzz needed to sustain a healthy theatrical run.

Unless there’s an unexpected surge in Week 2, Funky is looking at a total lifetime of ₹10–12 crore — well short of recovery territory. For more Telugu box office updates and South cinema coverage, stay tuned to TechnoSports Entertainment.
