Analysis:
I watched this film with decent expectations in my mind and I'll say it did end up impressing me. Every department for this film excelled and did not disappoint in any way. Let's start off with the man Siddhu Jonnalagadda. Siddhu is just brilliant in this film. In the 2 hour runtime for this film, this man carries it with his comedic timing and dialogues and it just makes you feel good every single time. The way the movie starts is similar to a lot of films but once we are taken into the world of DJ Tillu the movie just ramps up from there. The "Tillu Anna DJ Pedithe" song is just pure mass and hype on the screen and it makes you feel like you are on a whole other level. From here on out the comedic timing is just some of the best I have seen in recent times and it just continues throughout the entire film. The heroine introduction is decent and the intimate scenes also throughout the "Pattas Pilla" song are good for the mood. The real story starts when Neha Shetty commits a murder and the dialogues are written throughout the entire portion are just amazing. Once the first half ends on a decent note we are taken into the second half of the story.
Now in the second half of this movie, there is just a lot of lag associated with how the crime is solved. We are first taken into a dimension of where Siddhu has memory loss and how they try to get him to confess to what happened. Now, these portions are very hilarious but due to this storyline being thin it just feels like a bunch of filler scenes that add lag to this film. We are then introduced to more aspects of the crime and how it is being solved and these portions were just not written well. Cecil and Brahmaji fail to impress in these sequences but it is just whatever as these portions go by fast due to the really low runtime for this film. Once we reach the point where we are taken to the court portion of the film this entire section is just filled with twists. We are introduced to various fun aspects of the crime and it just brings a bigger twist. The climax of this film when Siddhu visits Neha in the jail was a decent way to end the film. We are shown more twists on how Siddhu never loses memory to how he gets a bail order for Neha and this entire portion also is just carried by Siddhu and his timing.
Other than that, music by Ram Miriyala and Sricharan Pakala is some of the best I have heard in recent times with only 4 songs they skyrocketed the expectations for this film. Background score by Thaman is one of the biggest assets as it elevates a lot of scenes and helps them reach their full potential. The cinematography by Sai Prakash Ummadisingu is decent and the editing by Naveen Nooli is good.
Overall, this is one of those films that you can enjoy and have fun without thinking too much about how the story is. If I was you I would go watch it in theaters as soon as you can if not then the OTT release should be right around the corner anyway but make sure you don't miss this film at all.
