Funky Film: Dance Drama Falls Flat
13 Feb
Summary
- Quirky dance drama 'Funky' struggles with patchy comedy.
- Film suffers from choppy editing and disjointed narration.
- Vishwak Sen miscast, Kayadu Lohar's character lacks depth.
Anudeep KV's directorial venture, Funky, attempts to blend street dance energy with one-liner comedy but results in a patchy and inconsistent film. The story centers on Maya, whose passion for dance is rekindled by a vibrant local crew, encouraging her to embrace imperfection.
The film leans heavily into Anudeep's signature exaggerated style, with rapid-fire punchlines and absurd situations. However, much of the humor feels juvenile and stretched, diluting Maya's personal journey and the emotional core.
Narratively, Funky suffers from choppy editing by Navin Nooli, creating a disjointed viewing experience. Scenes feel loosely connected, hindering the natural progression of Maya's transformation and the film's overall momentum.
Technically, the cinematography captures street dance vibrancy effectively, and the soundtrack offers peppy tunes. However, performances are mixed, with Vishwak Sen seeming miscast and Kayadu Lohar's portrayal lacking significant depth, leaving the film unable to salvage its uneven writing.
