Artiste Performances
Siddhu Jonnalagadda is amazing as DJ Tillu. His slang, his attitude, his dialogue delivery and comedy timing work big time to the movie. He steals the show completely with his performance.
Neha shetty is cute and gives a good performance. She brings the glamour to the screen.
Brahmaji, Price and DJ Tillu's Parents make their mark with comedy. Rest of the cast are decent too.

Analysis
From the promos, songs, teaser and trailer DJ Tillu has got all the hype up and yes..! the movie completely lives up to it.
Movie starts with introducing DJ Tillu with a funny sequence. First half of the movie is hilarious. Title song attracts masses and the Love song is beautifully shot that impresses youths.
Pre interval sequence is one of the major highlights in the movie. Siddhu absolutely stuns you with his performance in this sequence leading it to an Interesting Interval Bang.
Second half has pacing issue. After a very humorous first half, comedy takes a back step in second half. Movie slightly goes off track and narration becomes a little messy. That is kind of speed breaker in the movie. Leaving it apart, Second half too is engaging.
Narco test scene and courtroom scene are outstanding in second half. They are extremely funny. After a superb scene in jail movie ends with a "To Be Continued" card.
Sri charan's songs are great. Thaman scores excellent with his BGM. Camera work and editing are Neat. Production values are Good
Dialogues are yet another major asset to the movie. DJ Tillu's Dialogues are rib tickling.
(MY) Final Word
DJ Tillu is a fun filled experience with good doses of twists and thrills. Director has done a fantastic job in balancing all the elements in right amounts without going overboard. Keeping aside a bit slow second half, movie succeeds in entertaining you throughout. On a Whole, DJ Tillu ends up as a very enjoyable experience. Must Watch!
Bottomline: DJ Tillu provides hilarious thrillsu; Atluntadhi Vaanthoni (Amusing Thriller Ride!)
Note: This is my take on the movie. That is why I am not rating the movie. I respect each and every movie. Making people read my review and influencing them to form an impression on a movie before watching the movie is never my intention. I am a Movie lover too. This is just to express my view on the movie. 😊
