Surprise! Tillu Square Outperforms Nani's Dasara

Like a well-timed right hook, Tillu Square, starring Siddhu Jonnalagadda and Anupama Parameswaran, has delivered a surprise knockout punch at the box office. The sequel to the hit film DJ Tillu wasn't just expected to repeat its predecessor's success; it's surpassed all expectations by outperforming Nani's highly anticipated Dasara.

While positive reviews propelled Tillu Square to blockbuster status, nobody anticipated the film's meteoric rise. Grossing a staggering 100 crores in record time, it left everyone stunned. Now, the film has officially dethroned Dasara, surpassing its final collection by a significant margin.

The feat is even more impressive considering Tillu Square steered clear of the typical Pan-India marketing blitz often employed by big-budget productions. With a reported gross of 125 crores, the film has firmly set its sights on Geetha Govindam, the reigning champion held by Vijay Deverakonda.

Geetha Govindam, which garnered a worldwide gross of nearly 130 crores, has held this record for years. Notably, Tier 2 films have consistently fallen short of achieving such milestones, with only Hanuman managing to come close in recent times.
