REVIEW OF BIRIYANI

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 is no 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.

Delightful Buffet.
