Valentine’s Day is tailor-made for romantic comedies. Couples flooding theatres, feel-good vibes, the perfect excuse to watch two people fall in love on the big screen. So when a fresh Telugu romantic comedy starring Vishwak Sen and Kayadu Lohar releases right on February 13, you’d naturally expect a bump on February 14. Instead, Funky did the opposite — it dropped 20% on Day 2, collecting only ₹2 crore on its first Valentine’s Day, bringing the 2-day total to a disappointing ₹4.50 crore gross in India.
That’s a troubling sign for any film, but it’s especially jarring for a genre that should have had a natural advantage this weekend.

What Went Wrong for Funky?
The premise had genuine promise. Funky follows a quirky, dreamer filmmaker who ropes in a young producer — chaos, romance, and comedy follow. With a fun concept, director Anudeep KV’s name attached, and a charismatic lead in Vishwak Sen, this should have been a crowd-pleaser.
The problem? The film received mixed-to-average audience reactions from Day 1, and in today’s social media-driven box office landscape, word-of-mouth is everything. A rom-com audience is forgiving — but only if they leave the theatre with a warm feeling. When they don’t, they tell their friends, and footfalls fall fast.
The Valentine’s Day drop is the clearest proof that walk-in audiences chose other options this weekend, including the Tamil film With Love, which did exactly the opposite — jumping 60% on the same day.
Unless Funky shows a near-miraculous hold on Sunday and weekdays, its lifetime run at the Telugu box office looks limited. A recovery is possible but needs a strong social push.
