Mani (Santhanam), a disgruntled young man who has been alienated from his wife, priya (Anagha), for seven years, comes into a time travel machine. He resolves to use the time machine to travel back in time and halt his marriage with priya, in the hopes that it will transform his life for the better. Mani travels to 2020 from 2027 and interrupts the marriage, but... Other issues occur in various ways, forcing Mani to data-face unanticipated scenarios. Dikkiloona is about what those incidents were and how Mani dealt with them.
Dikkiloona has an intriguing notion that provides a lot of opportunities for laughing and fun. But did karthik Yogi go into detail about it? Maybe not, though. Dikkiloona has a lot of amusing moments, but there are also a lot of misses. It's not amusing to witness 'Tik Tok' jokes and boy bestie jokes that are overblown and so unappealing. Santhanam's signature counters are entertaining, and his admirers will love the lines. To some extent, the film is held together by a few well-executed comedic sequences. The entire mental hospital episode in the pre-climax, for example, is full of laugh-out-loud moments and is well-executed.
With Dikkiloona, santhanam is in his normal form, having a good time with counters at periodic intervals. He could've been more emotional in the emotional passages, as the sentimental moments don't land as well as they could. In this film, Yuvan shankar Raja's background score is unremarkable and forgettable, and 'Per Vachaalum' remix is the only saving grace. With its sci-fi plot and experienced comedic actors in the lead ensemble, Dikkiloona had a lot of potentials to be entertaining and exciting, but instead, it compromises for a one-time decent watch.
