    Delightful Buffet

    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.

    Biriyani (Tamil) (U/A) -------------- my Rating : ★★★ ONE TIME EATABLE

    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.

    Two friends unknowingly involved into a crime scene lead to a mystery.

    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.

    Spicy Hyderabai Biriyani - Truly a Diet that only Venkat Prabhu can Serve

    It has everything that we need, being watching movies from the past 10 years i never enjoyed any film this much than watching Biriyani,it's like he is good at comedy,action,romance and the most important it has the twist that thrills us, if you happened to see his previous movies they are just 10 percent that what Director can create, and this Biriayni has his full potential shown,you believe it or not in the peaks of the climax as well, he never let down the comedy and in most of the films it felt like didn't worked, but not this case, that felt wow!,and if you see the Telugu Mississippi official trailer, that's just the trailer of the bonanza that we have in the film that's Venkat's style of Item song and i am sure you gonna love that for sure - Hats of to you Venkat.

    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.
