Funky X Review

As is common with new releases, early viewers have flocked to X (previously Twitter) to express their initial reactions after attending the first-day screenings.

Funky, produced by Naga Vamsi S and Sai Soujanya for Sithara Entertainments and Fortune Four Cinemas and presented by Srikara Studios, has sparked internet debate since its early morning screenings. These social media messages are usually quick reactions made immediately after viewing and should not be confused with thorough critical evaluations. They provide an initial sensation of participation rather than an in-depth analysis of the film.

Strictly average first half. Editor pagabattina sare hilarious second half. Vishwak rampage, heroine dud. Slightly better than AOR but not Ram Abbaraju range. 3.5/5 #Funky

#Funky Review :

Funky aims to be a light, quirky comedy built around quick jokes and exaggerated situations. A few moments genuinely make you smile, but the humour doesn’t stay consistent throughout.

The story feels thin, and some scenes don’t flow smoothly. Technical issues…

#Funky A Complete Below Average Outdated Outing ! The director’s style feels old and boring now . There is almost no plot. It feels like a bunch of random comedy clips joined together. Amateur dubbing & Editing will disturb the experience .

The movie tries to be funny but fails… pic.twitter.com/EeuMKPOcGW

Following its premiere, moviegoers began sharing their impressions on X. Such replies frequently reflect first impressions made in the hours immediately following the viewing, before more extensive analysis or expert assessments are published. As with most opening-day comments, they represent a small subset of viewers and may not accurately reflect the wider public reaction that emerges during the weekend.

A silly, over-the-top comedy.
A few jokes land... You laugh. Briefly. And then… silence.

The kind where you look around the theatre and wonder, “Was that supposed to be funny?”

It’s the typical Anudeep brand of comedy.…
