"Tillu Square" graces the scene as the chic follow-up to "DJ Tillu," bearing a striking resemblance with about 80% of its DNA mirroring the original. Within its framework, it introduces two novel elements, hitting a mixed note with one being a hit and the other, unfortunately, missing the mark.
Narrative-wise, it's passable. Our lead, Tillu, retains his charm, albeit not quite capturing the magic of his debut performance. The screenplay is a mixed bag, featuring a handful of scenes that pop, a few that miss the mark, and others that simply fail to ignite, leaving the rest to fall squarely in the realm of mediocrity.
Production quality holds up well, with both cinematography and musical scores earning their stripes. Direction is on point, ensuring the film sails smoothly through its paces.
Siddu, in his element, delivers a sterling performance, living up to expectations. Anupama, while earnest in her efforts, seems to tread into the territory of overacting in her recent outings-a trend that's puzzling, to say the least.
The supporting cast turns in a decent performance, though none stand out as particularly memorable.
For aficionados of the original, "Tillu Square" might warrant a look, albeit with a grain of caution. Otherwise, feel free to give it a miss.
