Vidhyadaran.[1] The film stars three female characters in the lead roles (as grandmothers): Saranya Ponvannan, Kovai Sarala and Kalpana. Manobala, Chithra Lakshmanan, Mansoor Ali Khan, Ashmitha, Imman Annachi, and Devadarshini play supportive roles in the film.

The movie was titled as Itly, which was previously titled as Inba Twinkle Lilly as its full form and is the acronym of the three main female characters: Inba (Saranya), Twinkle (Sarala), and Lilly (Kalpana).[2]

The film is produced by Babu Thooyavan under the production banner Appu Movies, and it also does not have any songs.[3] The film was released on 29 June 2018 and received extremely negative reviews from the audience and critics upon its release.[4]

Plot

Inba's (Saranya Ponvannan) college-going granddaughter Ashmitha (Ashmitha) is suffering from a serious health problem, and she is in need of money costing to an amount of about 6 lakhs. Inba, along with her close friends Twinkle (Kovai Sarala) and Lilly (Kalpana), cooperate together to raise money, and while depositing money in the bank, they end up losing it due to a bank robbery led by a terrorist named Kalluthu (Mansoor Ali Khan) and his gang. The bank manager (Chithra Lakshmanan) refuses to help the trio as the money was not deposited at the time of the robbery. Then they find themselves in under tremendous pressure to raise money to rescue Ashmitha, so they hatch a plan to rob the bank where they lost their money along with China (Manobala), who is Twinkle's love interest. Then, police and media covers the bank. After a lot of struggles, they come out safely. Afterwards, they get to know that Ashmitha has no disease, but she is stuck in a big problem. The problem is a gang which takes bad videos of women and asks for money. However, the video of Ashmitha is uploaded for not giving money. How they save Ashmitha's life forms the rest of the plot.[5]

Release

The film was released on 29 June 2018, two years after the death of actress Kalpana who also starred in the film and was also her last feature film.[6] The film was criticised for weak writing and poor joke sequences which caused negative impacts to the film at the box office.[7]

gollark: Hmm. Possibly. But that'd be a lot of moderator work.

gollark: Not great when there are multiple parallel discussions, plus there's no way for stuff people like to be more visible.

gollark: I've always thought that forums were poorly structured for most conversation anyway - you just put text into linear things and quote people usually.

gollark: Inconsistency is important - memorizing the differences between countless weirdnesses is a waste of development time.

gollark: You could write it in assembly and it might work.
