French Biriyani

As i was expecting the movie was not so good all the characters in this movie have not performed upto the mark only danish sait and the foreigner have performed well overall the movie is average

The movie opens with the intension of serving the platter full of comedy entertainer for the start 2 hours. And it begins the same way, but towards the end of the first half it's nothing but all pandemonium.

Avinash Balekkala's writing is as much Confused as the character of Simon is in the movie. I wish Pannaga Bharana had directed "French Biriyani" first and next the "Happy New year," Al least then I wouldn't have the same problem that I've now with his direction.

I'm not saying French Biriyani is completely non-sense, the movie had its fair amount of the laughs. But, it didn't not work out as a complete package. Felt like I'm watching some various clips of comedy scenes from a different movies. There wasn't any proper vision in the story telling.

Huff the Climax! Seriously, what was that?

This film is one of the examples, when post production process is took in hurry. The First 30 minutes might make you feel boring. But after that, the movie comes to track. Though the movie has no intresting plot, but the cast members performed there roles very well. If you are expecting atleast a comedy relief, this movie is a decent watch. As it is released on OTT, the movie's songs and bgm is very bad (you need to skip the songs). Don't go for watching it with huge expectations. I call it a decent one time watchable movie.

Watch it only for Danish Sait and to tap few new talent's shoulders.Second half ran through real quick which the first half mainly lacked. Danish is good in his character and so is Rangayana Raghu. Few comedy sequences in the movie are really good. Watch with zero expectations and you will not regret it.

It's safe to say that French Biriyani works best as a tribute to the cosmopolitan city of Bengaluru over all else. As someone who has lived in the city for many years, I was able to catch most of the inside jokes easily. That said, one out of every five or six jokes in French Biriyani directed by Pannaga Bharana, was packed with sexual innuendos. The story, as the makers would want it, is a giant comedy of errors. Absurdity permeates through every character and proves to be the film's soul.

Danish Sait, as autorickshaw driver Asgar, was spot on in his body language and accent. He seems well on his way to becoming Kannada cinema's Sacha Baron Cohen (Borat, Bruno, The Dictator), carving out a niche of his own in comedy. The same can be said for Sal Yusuf, who I've seen in minor roles in quite a few Malayalam films in the last decade. Rangayana Raghu, as police officer Mahadev, and Michael Madhu as don Powder Charles, also amp up the absurd comedy quotient. There's also a subplot about child conception that's both laugh-worthy and farcical.

On the flip side, not all jokes land well, even if you exclude the double entendres. The songs, while not too out-of-place, aren't hummable. Also, as the film makes its way to the climax that fittingly takes place at the "Climax Theatre", there's so much chaos happening that you stop caring about the outcome of it all. More so because the scripting isn't as effective.
