BIRIYANI (2013) TAMIL MOVIE REVIEW

BLAND BIRIYANI SERVED COLD!!!

PRODUCER: STUDIO GREEN

DIRECTOR: VENKAT PRABHU

STAR CAST: KARTHI, PREMGI AMAREN, HANSIKA, NAZER, SAMPATH

MUSIC: YUVAN SHANKER RAJA

Biriyani is a most awaited Venkat Prabhu Flick with Karthi released in Chrismas season this year, it’s a comedy thriller with a Venkat Prabhu style of treatment. After the success of Mankatha with Ajith kumar, hype and expectation were high on this movie. But Venkat Prabhu disappoints big time. This movie can be considered as his weakest film till date. 

There is nothing new and different stuff in this movie. All the seen before kind of scences and situations and the suspense element is not so shocking or interesting. First half of the movie is wasted for plot development and songs were forcefully inserted, comedy did not work and most of the things were repeat version of typical Venkat Prabhu movies. There is nothing really happens in first half, which could have been told in 10 mins. Movie picks from second half and turns to athriller mode and it had its moment till climax portions. Suspense element was big letdown.

All the actors acted well. Casting was good. Camera work was also apt. this being Yuvan’s 100^th movie songs were very average. Background score was good. Lack of good writing was evident and felt like this script was written in hurry just to en cash the dates and make some quick money by releasing it in a festival season.

Verdict: Nothing really delicious about this Biriyani!!!

SPECIAL 26 (2013) HINDI MOVIE REVIEW

‘Asli Power toh Script Main Hoti Hai’ ;)

Special 26 had huge expectation because of the director neeraj pandey, his directorial debut a Wednesday won critical acclaim and box office battle. He did not disappoint this time either. In fact he has generated huge expectation for his future ventures. 

Special 26 is crime heist comedy movie. And devoid of any bollywood masala.

The film starts with a relatively slow pace. The introduction of manoj bajpai shifts the gear and movie pick up the pace from here. The lead actors akshay and anupam kher played their character very naturally and both were in superb form. Manoj bajpai  delivers solid performance as usual. Other actors did their part well.

The movies story set in late 80’s. the art department and camera men worked realy hard, that can be seen in each and every scene. BGM and music was apt but nothing extra ordinary. And importantly kudo’s to the casting. They did spot on casting. Each and every actor appearing for smallest role did their part neatly, which is very rare in the Indian movies.

Story and screenplay was sharp and racy in the 2^nd half. The romance track and song sequences of akshay and kajal aggarwal was unneccassary. Which slowed down the racy screenplay a bit.

Dialogues were funny and the suspence element was predictable still movie entertains you till last minute. Second half of movie was far better when compared to the little slower first half. The climax was brilliant.

Instead of so called masala movies and their sequels and remakes, we deserve a sequel to this nicely made movie.

Verdict : a decent entertainer, don’t miss it.
