Funky OTT release details: Where to watch Vishwak Sen, Kayadu Lohar's Telugu rom-com movie online after its theatrical run

The Telugu romantic comedy Funky hit theatres on January 13, carrying high expectations from fans of actor Vishwak Sen and director Anudeep KV. The film arrived at a crucial time for Vishwak, who has been going through a challenging phase at the box office. Many in the industry see Funky as an important project that could help him bounce back. For Anudeep KV, who earlier impressed audiences with Jathi Ratnalu, the film is equally major, as viewers were eager to see his trademark quirky humour once again on the big screen. Now, we have a major update regarding the digital release.

Streaming details of Funky

While Funky continues its run in cinemas, its digital premiere plans are already in place. The post-theatrical streaming rights have been bagged by Netflix. The film is expected to arrive on the platform roughly four weeks after its theatrical release, though the makers have yet to announce an official streaming date. Interestingly, the OTT deal was locked well before the film released in theatres.



The film might also be released in Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam and Hindi, for wider reach. Early audience reactions to Funky have been mixed. Some moviegoers have described it as a refreshing comeback for Vishwak Sen and praised its light-hearted treatment. Others, however, felt the film did not fully live up to expectations in terms of content. Despite the divided opinions, the romantic comedy has managed to pull steady crowds to cinema halls, especially among younger viewers drawn to its playful vibe.

The promotional campaign leaned heavily into the film’s fun and self-aware tone. In one of its cheeky taglines, the makers even called it “a film with no part 2,” humorously taking a dig at the growing trend of sequels in Indian cinema.
