Funky review:
The Telugu language movie Funky is now live on Netflix, and its title alone tells you that this is a movie that promises to be loud, vibrant, and utterly quirky. Well, Funky is a movie that promises a lot, but it also delivers on its promises for the most part.
The movie is based on a carefree, eccentric character who seems to live his life on his own beat. The movie is not very original in its content, but it makes up for it by being quick-witted, flashy, and never letting its pace slow down.
The best thing that Funky has done is its tone. The movie is not very serious, and that is something that has been carried through the entire length of this Telugu language movie. The dialogues are not very dramatic, which is good, and this makes them seem very natural. There are plenty of funny moments that are well executed in this movie.
The lead actor is carrying a lot of this movie on his shoulders, but he is doing a good job of it, bringing a sort of relaxed charm to his role. The other actors are also good, bringing some flavor to their parts that keeps things moving without ever feeling like they are just padding out the movie.
The movie also visually attempts to live up to its name, with bright frames, good style, and some good music that keeps things lively. While some of this is perhaps done for style over substance, it is also good for keeping the overall mood of the movie light and fun.
Of course, this is not a movie that is without its problems, but Funky is perhaps best enjoyed if you are not taking it too seriously. It is that sort of movie that you watch for its overall atmosphere, which is nice and easy-going, if a little silly at times.
If you are in the mood for something light and fun, Funky could be just the ticket for a light movie night in.
