Telugu film Funky, starring Vishwak Sen and Kayadu Lohar in the lead, opened on a good note. The romantic comedy drama debuted with Rs. 2.50 crore on its opening day. The movie fetched around Rs. 1.25 crore in Nizam while Andhra Pradesh contributed around Rs. 1 crore to the tally. Around 25 lakh came from outside its home state.
Directed by Anudeep KV, the movie is expected to see a good growth on Day 2, courtesy to Valentine’s Day. Though it is not a holiday, it is still a lucrative day for the movie business. And since the Vishwak Sen starrer is a romantic comedy, it will target a young audience.
If the movie manages to impress the audience, it might see a solid growth over the weekend. The movie needs to show strong trends on the weekdays in order to bag a favourable box office verdict.
