Biriyani

This Venkat Prabu diet got my stomach upset or I'd say my mind upset. Considering the directors' previous movies this one is pretty ordinary. Yuvan was surprisingly let down comparing with the past Venkat Prabhus' (couldn't believe). Can't understand the addition of too much western classical with the BGM like Wagner's Here comes the bride, Handel's Messiah, Beethovan's Ode to joy etc. Too much spoofs in the movie. The first half was nasty with all the supporting casts wasted, imo. The comedy were predominantly forced with too much Premji's presence. Comical Scenes from 21 Jump Street were also copied.

The biriyani was still tasty in the second half esp. the amazing last 10 minutes that shows the actual Venkat Prabhu and saves this diet. The bottom line : A one time watch (few scenes not for kids due to sensuality/ drinking)for guys to enjoy some dark humor and a splendid climax.

A playboy and his best friend wake up from an all night hangover to find themselves in the middle of a murder-conspiracy. I don't have to say what the rest of the story is about.

The cat and mouse play is sprinkled in good proportion with humor. The Hero's sister herself frames a dialogue, "How can you joke in the middle of such a serious situation?" Therein lies the movie's uniqueness, despite being a crime thriller the script and characters have taken humor until the last frame. Nasser-Premji voice swap is bound to make your stomach knot.

Karthi, after a hat trick flop, has finally found the success formula which is: The hero needn't be a superman but any simple man pushed to extreme situations can turn into nothing short of a superman.

Premji, an assured in every Venkatprabhu project, has more screen presence than any of his previous attempts. He has gone shoulder to shoulder with Karthi until the end. Hansika is yet to find a role that will break loose her acting skills, if any. Nasser and Ramki, the veterans, make a gentle yet memorable presence.

Music is a letdown; too unfortunate this has to be Yuvan's 100.The director has, once again, proved his mettle with a fully nutritious diet.

The script has gone to great extents to prevent it from being stereotyped as a Hangover spoof and has even added a reference to the Hollywood flick. It has succeeded too.

Venkat Prabhu is master in making this kind of films deals with Screenplay writing. First half deals with humour with a twist at Interval. Though Second half filled with thrilling moments the fun factor never leaves. Its always there even at emotional sequences. Thats something new. Some find its cringe. Pre climax and climax at best. Songs are just avg. Locations and bgm are ok. Karthi is too good in his role. Hansika is ok. Premji makes us laugh asusual. Rest all are okay. It was neither slow nor Fast. Its moderate to watch. Recommended.

Well its safe to say that this movie was made for young men in particular. The family seated next to me and my friends mysteriously disappeared twenty minutes into the movie.The first 40 minutes is full scenes that will make you laugh if you are a Prem G fan or weep in agony if you are not. Its been a while since Tamil cinema gave us a who on god's green earth killed him thriller, so i guess you can let the first half pass. The Second half is much better than the first one and i must admit i was shocked when they revealed who the killer was. Karthi has had a lot of practice playing these Masala roles so he does not disappoint. Mandy Thakur got the biggest cheers when she came on screen(no surprises there as the audience was mostly male). You Tube Puyal Sam Anderson,Jai and a host of other Venkat Prabhu regulars make appearances here and there. The music was a major plus.It helped carry the first part of the movie and added a lot to the second one.In short, you can go for this if have nothing else to do.

Biriyani is definitely an entertaining movie. Karthi made his good comeback. Venkat Prabhu proved him once again as a Entertainer guarantee. Anyhow screenplay is bit similar to his previous Mankatha. VP also made some actors in unwanted cameo appearance for some sort of commercial appearance. New type of climax make you to feel Biriyani as a worthy movie. Cinematography Sakthi Saravanan made a good job and provide us a good color recipe. Editor Praveen & Srikanth made brilliant work which made a huge support to the movie. As his 100th movie Yuvan made some new type of songs & BGM which suits the story line perfectly. Cast including lead & supporting actors done their roll well.

Biriyani is mysterious comedy thriller with some interesting twists.
