Advance bookings for the upcoming Telugu comedy entertainer Funky have picked up significant momentum ahead of its theatrical release on February 13. The film, directed by Anudeep K.V., stars Vishwak Sen and Kayadu Lohar in lead roles and is positioned as a fast-paced family entertainer with a strong comic core.
With a runtime of approximately 128 minutes, Funky blends chaotic humour, romance, and a tongue-in-cheek take on the movie industry. Trade circles report encouraging trends, particularly in multiplex chains, where occupancy levels for opening weekend shows are steadily rising.
Trailer Buzz Drives Booking Momentum
The film’s trailer, which crossed over 5 million views across digital platforms, has played a key role in driving audience interest. High-energy visuals, meme-worthy moments, and rapid-fire dialogues have resonated strongly with younger viewers, giving the film a solid pre-release push.
Composer Bheems Ceciroleo’s upbeat soundtrack has further added to the buzz, complementing the film’s lively tone and mass appeal.
Strong Overseas Pre-Sales
Overseas markets have responded positively as well. Early reports indicate that USA premieres alone have already crossed $55,000 in pre-sales, a healthy figure for a mid-budget Telugu comedy. Distributors expect the numbers to climb further as release day approaches.
Domestic booking patterns also suggest a favourable opening, especially in urban centres where Anudeep K.V.’s brand of humour has previously found appreciation.
Cast and Team Share Confidence
Speaking ahead of the release, Vishwak Sen expressed confidence in the film’s content, stating that Funky strikes the right balance between timing, humour, and relatable situations. He noted that the team focused on delivering an entertainer that works across age groups.
The makers are also hosting a grand pre-release event in Khammam, scheduled to take place today, with live streaming arrangements made for fans unable to attend in person.
Release Outlook
With advance bookings gaining traction, strong promotional buzz, and positive early trade indicators, Funky appears set for a promising opening at the box office. All eyes are now on audience word-of-mouth once the film hits screens on February 13.
