Following the surprise success of the 2022 crime comedy DJ Tillu, Tillu Square (2024) features Siddhu Jonnalagadda reprising his role as the titular character alongside Anupama Parameswaran as the female lead. Building upon the narrative of its predecessor, Tillu, now a highly sought-after DJ and event planner, encounters yet another predicament, characteristic of his adventurous life. But, in this installment, he must risk his safety to resolve the crisis and restore order, all while striving to maintain his sanity.

Maintaining the tone established by its predecessor, Tillu Square upholds consistency in every aspect, starting with its comedy, which is excellently balanced, just as it was in the prequel. The iconic one-liners, the Hyderabadi slang, tone, and comedic quality remain intact, ensuring that the audience anticipating the same level of humor as the original will not be disappointed at any point.
Siddhu Jonnalagadda, the star, effortlessly embodies his real-life persona in his portrayal of Tillu, delivering an immaculate performance from start to finish. He adeptly maintains Tillu’s comedic body language, dialogue delivery, rizz, and the perfect blend of innocence and cunningness. With his contribution extending to the writing process, it’s challenging to find any fault in his involvement with the movie. I dare say that there may not be anyone else better suited to portray this character than him.
The narrative, in contrast to the 2022 film, sees a notable enhancement in Tillu Square when it comes to engagement, suspense, and overall concise presentation within a runtime of 123 minutes. Siddhu Jonnalagadda and Ravi Anthony’s story writing once again allocates a significant portion of screen time to the co-lead, Anupama Parameswaran, providing her with a role endowed with more agency than Radhika, played by the remarkable Neha Shetty. Parameswaran’s portrayal of Lily asserts her authority in the film, showcasing a remarkable performance characterized by a balanced blend of innocence, sensuality, and a myriad of other traits that couldn’t be spoiled.
The remaining cast members deliver decent performances, with Muralidhar Goud shining particularly as Tillu’s father. The two songs composed by Ram Miriyala seamlessly complement the film’s fun-filled theme and atmosphere. Overall, while there may be a few minor drawbacks, which I shouldn’t overly nitpick, I found Tillu Square to be immensely enjoyable, gratifying, and a formidable sequel that delivers an equal amount of entertainment as its predecessor. This achievement is especially noteworthy considering the sky-high expectations from fans, making it a daunting mountain to climb.
