Funky Slows on Day 2 After Modest Start as Reviews Split on Vishwak Sen’s Meta-Comedy

Early estimates peg Saturday at about Rs 2 crore, signaling soft word of mouth, with a Netflix debut reportedly four weeks away.

Overview

  • The Telugu film opened on February 13 with reported day‑1 India collections of roughly Rs 2.25–2.50 crore, followed by an estimated Rs 2 crore on day 2, per trade trackers.
  • Outlets cite a small second‑day decline—about 9% per Koimoi citing Sacnilk and roughly 20% per Pinkvilla—with two‑day tallies around Rs 4.2–4.5 crore in India.
  • Critical and audience reactions remain divided, with multiple reviews flagging choppy editing and uneven pacing that blunt the comedy.
