    Fantastic, Different, Delightful, Delicious.

    To begin with, this film starts off with an absolutely different and fantastic opening with Karthi and Premgi trying to figure out their plight at the moment. As soon as the first song begins, you can already sense how different and fresh the film making is. As the story progresses, the audiences are revealed with the further details and characterization of the characters and story in an absolutely different manner. Then comes the intermission, which adds up the interest in the plot. In the end, director Venkat Prabhu hints an upcoming closure, which is then indirectly explained to the audiences. In a totally new style of film making, Venkat Prabhu has established himself as a trend setter and an absolutely creative director. Overall rating: 7.7/10 (68%)

    Full time pass

    very entertainment movie,full of jokes and action, After so long karti act as good very entertainment movie, nice songs ,very good fast screen play venkat prabu did the good work but not like mankatha.All other actors did well.Venkat Prabhu's movies portray a volley of characters and giving importance to every single of them is something that is special and close to his heart. Here Karthi and Premji steal the limelight with their timing comedy all over, however the rest of the villains, sidekicks and some cameo appearances by Jai, Arvind also makes you wonder how this guy is able to make amends meet. Through the first half the ingredients make up a commercial pot boiler and the build up to the story is slow and steady. Karthi the witty playboy always wins over the hearts of babe's and his best bud premji who tries and tries in vain.

    STRENGTHS :- * Second Half : gets racy .... * Casting and concept : was good ...... * Editing : was excellent ....

    WEAKNESSES :- * First half : was simple .... * Songs : were boring .....

    FINAL VERDICT :- * Overall.. movie is a one time watch .... u can taste this biriyani just once .....

    The film's story revolves around Karthi and his lust for biriyani. Karthi's obsession for biriyani leads to a fatal night which turns his life upside down. Directed by Venkat Prabhu, the film stars Karthi and Hansika Motwani in the lead.

    BIRIYANI Haraam

    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.

    Fun filled entertainer

    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.
