    Unconventionally bold

    Raw, unconventional , bold, disturbing take on social stigma, religious oppression. Not everybody would appreciate this and might even offend few but gusty outing . Director tried to shed light on multiple topics but not completely fleshed out yet succeeded in showing his intentions through Kani Kusruti who brilliantly portrayed her role, hastoff for accepting a role like this. The final act is really unexpected and changed the entire mood of the film, if we keep this act aside, rest of the movie is just ok. But, that climax act gonna change your view on the film as it made me to praise it more. Check it out!!!

    The real The Great Indian Kitchen- but no one will recognise

    This is the real Great Indian Kitchen. The one released earlier doesn't suits.

    Biryaani tells the truth. It conveys many rela life incidents. Audience although agrees cannot agree to this movie because of a fear factor for a particular religion.

    This is much better that The Great Indian Kitchen of Suraj.

    A gripping story.

    Sajin Baabu has accomplished something which has never been tried in the Indian Film Industry. The tale of female who suffers from all evils men can offer to her; and Kani Kusrti portrays the female suffering and need of a woman to extreme levels.

    This might be disturbing to some; but a story which is so true which grips our society like plague. Some scenes may be disturbing to some; but this movie is worth the try.

    Sajin is a story teller of amazing power.

    • Trivia
      Kani Kusruti remembers having doubts about certain scenes in the film that feature nudity. "When Sajin approached me for the role, I felt that it was a bit too much. I knew the 'male gaze' would be there. It's unavoidable with male directors, sometimes even with female directors. I considered it for some time, then Sajin came back to me, saying that he had written that role with me in mind. None of my previous roles had a proper beginning, middle and end like this one did, so I decided to look at it as an opportunity," she says.
