Tillu Square

Fun, fun and Tillu (Siddu Jonnalagadda) to the core. Tillu square marks the return of DJ Tillu who will never forget Radhika for cheating him, meets Lilly(Anupama parameswaran) in a bar and the cupid strikes again asking Tillu to fall in love with Lilly. The film stands as a comic flashback to Dj Tillu reminding Tillu with a load of events as it's prequel. Prince, Neha Sshetty, Murali sharma and Muralidhar goud keep their supporting roles at their best promising an entertainer from the start.

Tillu square is fashionably comic promising laughter and fun from the lead. The pair of Tillu and Lilly win our hearts at its best. Tillu's telangana slang convinces us with fun, "Ido Atluntadi mantoni" is the best dialogue after Radhika.. 😆

Radhika Radhika is an awesome song from this song with it's lyrics winning audience on the fly.

I don't see what's so hype for this C D grade movies. I mean what are people watching and supporting giving high rating for no logical, practical or even sensible reason. The acting is such a crass, cringe, disgusting by every actor. There is no story too, and I wonder what scriptwriter was doing. And who is producing this kind of movies and expecting to be like super hit I wonder.. People have weird tastes for sure, but this is terrible. Nothing in it to be considered even to give 2 or above, but I have 2 just because they made it and marketed it for rating to get to 7.. 7... seriously ? 7... Wonderful marketing for such nonsense film.

Many people of tollywood industry might consider dj tillu a cult movie, not to mention the very film gave us many memes, cult dialogues. Although a very basic plot line, not so good narration, the film managed to gain success only through execution, dialogues and of course excellent performances.

Now imagine a dj tillu film, where production values are so high, a few extra feet tapping songs, popular actress, and more cliched story line. You get tillu square.

First half manages to catch audience pulse giving a slight hope that something huge and a bigger plotline is building up, and interval comes with a bash of underwhelming twists and out of date actions.

Second half although has a clever plotline which could have worked through a intriguing narrative, but story never asked you to take it seriously. Most of the scenes in second half seems to be fillers so as to give audiences the wow factor and movie's aim is to mesmerise the people with nostalgia of dj tillu..... which is not a bad way to entertain.

Comedy works for most of the first part, entertainment quotient is quite high. Also it is apparent amongst audiences. It is quite so commendable to narrate a story with nostalgic plot, despite trying to be unique.

But the second half comedy falls flat. Most of them are directly misogynistic at the face of women and you must have heard them while scrolling through reels or as memes. Jokes in second half are funny enough to enjoy in your mind but you may not put an effort to laugh with your mouth

Radhika character is again reintroduced in this movie giving you a slightest of hopes that movie could go on a right direction. But she is a mere doll on the face of whom our protagonist could splash some sexist jokes. She doesnt play any role in taking the plot forward. Neither does the parents and friends of protagonist. A random song in the second half is so off putting and totally breaks flow. It went extra length to convince audience to take it a serious commercial action thriller. Thus falling into the category of movies where dj tillu didnt belong.

And the ending could have been a little different from dj tillu, but it is apparent that writers and director never wanted to risk anything new other than the already tried formulaic storyline which proved successful in dj tillu.

Using nostalgia as main storyline might work for second part but not sure it would work for third. Authenticity and plot points are so perfectly put together in dj tillu but the same is missing in here.

Good :

1. Tillu (duhhh) 2. Comedy (every joke landed well and the theatre was burst into laughter) 3. Story (except climax and some parts in second half) 4. Supporting characters (well half of the jokes landed well cuz of the supporting characters, especially the father character) 5. Direction (the pace is good, enjoyed the whole duration except for a few moments in second half) 6. A few twists!

Cons : 1. Anupama Parameshwaran (Plastic acting. Every time she cries, it's like we know that they put some drops in her eyes.) 2. Costume design (Tillu's costumes are top tier. While anupama's costumes are utter crap in some situations. Like she wears a sleeveless cleavage gown for a devotional song.) 3. Slightly laggy second half. (There's a filler song in second half which is sudden and unnecessary!) 4. Very convenient ending (The first part ending was better. This one gives the protagonist a huge plot armour and very convenient)

Is it worth it?

Watch it in theatres if you can book a ticket in packed theatres. Or else wait for ott. Without crowd, these kind of movies aren't that different in theatre and ott.
