Vishwak Sen, KV Anudeep Deliver Two Hours of Awkwardness

Starring Vishwak Sen and Kayadu Lohar, Funky is an absurd comedy drama in classic KV Anudeep mould. While his previous films worked, his third film leaves you with a bitter aftertaste.

Naaku galeej anipisthundhi, which translates to “It’s all too awkward,” is a repetitive phrase in KV Anudeep’s third film, Funky. After two hours and eight minutes, it’s this thought – and the only one – that you are left with. Director KV Anudeep’s unique sense of humour may not be everyone’s cup of tea. In three films, he’s made that loud and clear. But there’s a sense of earnestness and honesty in Jathi Ratnalu and Prince that hardly makes you look away. You’d want to know what new trick he has up his sleeve the third time around.

KV Anudeep’s Lazy Parody of the Film Industry Tests Your Patience

The Vishwak Sen and Kayadu Lohar starrer is undone by a non-existent plot and directionless storytelling

Jathi Ratnalu director KV Anudeep’s latest film, Funky, is set in a bubble—the Telugu film industry, a world the filmmaker has immediate access to. The premise itself—where an emerging director falls for the daughter of an eminent producer—is a fictional take on the love story of industry couple, director Nag Ashwin and producer Priyanka Dutt (who are often referenced in the film).
