the rest.
Performances
Karthi was offered different shaded roles and he delivers an impressive performance. He looks charming.
Hansika looks beautiful but she is limited to a small role. Mandy Thakar looks hot and did justice to her role.
Premgi goes over the top, Nasser is decent, Ramky, Sampath are perfect and others are adequate.
Technical Analysis
Cinematography by Sakthi Saravanan is
brilliant while Yuvan’s musical scores are impressive. Background score
elevates the proceedings. Dialouses are hilarious, Script has some
loopholes though screenplay is striking at times. Dubbing for Telugu
version could be better. Production values by Studio Green are standard.
Analysis
Biriyani starts off well with impressive
hero characterization and scenes between Karthi, Premgi are a laugh
riot but too much lagging makes first half a bit boring. Though the
proceedings picks up pace before the interval, few vital sequences
looked unconvincing in second half. Climax is yet another
disappointment. Logic has gone for a toss and it looked unconvincing on
how the hero resolves the problem. The film has lot of Tamil flavor and
dubbing wasn’t apt. The story has resemblances to Hangover.
Nevertheless, the comedy scenes are entertaining and few gripping
episodes maintaining suspense factor will engage the audiences.
Final Verdict
This Biriyani lacks the needed spice!!!
