== Plot ==
Surya ([[Srujan Lokesh]]) is bundled off to London by his parents ([[Tara (Kannada actress)|Tara]] and [[Avinash]]) in his childhood, just to make sure he doesn't become one of those unworthy street Romeos due to inappropriate company – his friends. However, his upbringing in London for more than 15 years doesn't change him much.

An opportunity coupled with his love for India and affection towards his friends brings him back home. Casually taking up a challenge thrown by a friend to attend an interview leads Surya to visit a company where he meets his dream girl Nandini ([[Haripriya|Hariprriya]]). Surya puts his best foot forward and secures a job just to pursue his lady love, in the process fabricating a web of lies.

Nandini, who is shown to be a hard taskmaster and a stickler for honesty, is unaware of Surya's fabrications and is all set to marry him. She is confronted with reality on the day of their wedding. Whether Nandini ditches Surya or goes against her principles and marries the man who has told her everything, but the truth forms the rest of the plot.

== Critical Reception ==
[[The Times of India|The Times Of India]] paper gave 3.5/5<ref>{{Citation|title=Ellidde Illi Tanaka Movie: Showtimes, Review, Trailer, Posters, News & Videos eTimes|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/kannada/movie-details/elleidde-illi-tanaka/movieshow/71515546.cms|access-date=2019-10-11}}</ref> stating "Debutant director Thejasvi set out to make an entertainer and give Srujan an image makeover, which he does. The film has laughs aplenty, which almost made the first half feel like an extension of their hit TV show, Maja Talkies, but the second half makes up for that with romance, drama and action galore. Srujan Lokesh, Giri Shivanna and Hariprriya, along with the rest of the extended cast, make this a worthwhile movie outing."

[[The New Indian Express]] paper gave 3/5 stating <ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.newindianexpress.com/entertainment/review/2019/oct/12/ellide-elli-tanaka-review-hariprriya-srujan-lokesh-starrer-is-a-comic-web-of-deceit-2046355.html|title='Ellide Elli Tanaka' review: Hariprriya, Srujan Lokesh starrer is a comic web of deceit|website=The New Indian Express|access-date=2019-10-14}}</ref>"A humorous tale peppered with action elements, and strong family bondings, ''Ellide Elli Tanaka'' reminds you of familiar stories we’ve seen in the past. Thejasvi, in his first directorial, presents a mix of comedy, emotions, love, action and family sentiments - everything required for a commercial entertainer, and also tucks in a message . Hariprriya not only adds the glamour quotient, but also plays an integral part in the proceedings. A couple of good melodies composed by Arjun Janya, and a few picturesque locations captured by HC Venu, are the highlights of the film, which will surely satisfy the die-hard fans of Talking Star Srujan Lokesh."

[[Deccan Chronicle|The Deccan Chronicle]] paper gave 3/5 stating<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.deccanchronicle.com/entertainment/movie-reviews/121019/ellidde-illi-tanaka-movie-review-talking-comedy.html|title=Ellidde Illi Tanaka movie review: 'Talking' comedy|last=S.M|first=SHASHIPRASAD|date=2019-10-12|website=Deccan Chronicle|language=en|access-date=2019-10-14}}</ref> "An age-old saying that it is perfectly fine to lie a thousand times to get a marriage done is the key ingredient here, stirred well with entertaining lies. If Srujan shines with comedy, it is Hariprriya who steals the show with yet another impressive act. Her beautiful presence gives another good reason not to miss Ellidde Illi Tanaka. Overall, it's a feel-good movie worth watching it once for some light entertainment."
