Box Office Talk: Hero Must Move Away From Valentines Day!

There is this one particular development associated with a talented young Telugu Hero, and his uncanny coincidence when it comes to particular release period. The hero in discussion here is Vishwak Sen.

For Vishwak Sen, Valentine’s Day has not been lucky. What is usually seen as a romantic and festive weekend for movie lovers has turned into a disappointing time for him at the box office.

In 2025, he released Laila around Valentine’s Day with decent expectations. The team hoped that the romantic mood of the season would attract young audiences and couples to theatres.

However, the film failed to create strong buzz. Reviews were mixed, word of mouth was not encouraging, and collections dropped quickly after the opening weekend. It did not make the impact the makers had expected.

Still, there was hope. In 2026, Vishwak Sen returned again during the Valentine’s season with Funky. This time, the team aimed for a fresh start and believed the film would connect better with the youth.

Promotions were visible and expectations were slightly higher. Unfortunately, the result was similar. The movie struggled to pull crowds and could not deliver a solid box office performance.

With two consecutive Valentine releases failing to click, the season seems unlucky for Vishwak Sen. He may now look at different release dates and stronger scripts to bounce back with a much needed hit.
