‘Tillu Square’ Netflix Movie Review - A Comical Tale of Assassination

The film starts with showing excerpts of it in the form of a comic book. Various funny dialogues being added to it make the audience expect a lot. Tillu, a local DJ is the charm of his town, and many die to spend just one moment with him. The famed personality has a humorous nature and likes throwing a joke or two in every conversation.

One day, at an event Tillu comes across the smoking hot and dazzling Lilly. Their meet-up wasn't as simple as the lady vomiting on his brand-new white shoes. Instead of getting angry, Tillu was swayed by his curves and curls. This scene reminded me of Akshay Kumar and Sonakshi Sinha starrer Rowdy Rathore. 

Things progress very fastly and soon Lilly is seen sitting in Tillu's lap in a very fancy car. It's just not the male lead whose character is loud and flashy. Similarities can be found in his choice of clothes and car design. Everything is so bold and eye-catching. The details of the car make Tillu appear like a rookie however it is at the end that the audience will discover his true frame of mind.

Right from the beginning Lilly was giving bad vibes and there are things that the audience might fail to catch. Anupama Parameswaran as the female lead impressed us with her brilliant performance. You'll be so mesmerized by her act that the small hints the writer tried to give us, go flying in the air. Why have the makers utilized her so exquisitely that my eyes missed all the points?

Coming forward, the male lead doesn't share the same glamour as Anupama. His charm might have gotten lost in translation despite that, his expressions didn't do justice and neither did his wardrobe. The actor did try his hand at humor and failed miserably.

When the film is over, we're left with mixed feelings. As soon as the plot started feeling kick-ass, a worthy twist came, at the same moment, the curtains were pulled. Taking the audience to a high and then leaving them hanging is a sin that the makers should try committing less often.

In all, this is a film that has so many highs and lows that after its completion, an exact image of what to think about it can't be formed. However great the efforts might be in scenes like a car chasing one, things fall flat in the face. The Telugu film could've been one of the best ones from this industry, but the unrequited and extra-intimate scenes spoiled the story for me.

The female lead comes out of the car, shooting the villains, looking great in a high thigh slit one piece, and then suddenly there's a kiss scene. This perfect Rohit Shetty scene got spoilt, and many other things can be pointed in the same direction.

Final Score – [6.5/10]
