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.

ARRAMBAM (2013) TAMIL MOVIE REVIEW

RACY THRILLER!!!

PRODUCER: A RAGHURAM

DIRECTOR: VISHNUVARDHAN

STAR CAST: AJITH KUMAR, ARYA, NAYANTARA, TAPSEE, MAHESH MANJREKAR, ATUL KULAKARNI, KISHOR

MUSIC: YUVAN SHANKAR RAJA

After Billa director Vishnuvardhan teams up with Ajith kumar, and gives yet another thriller called ARRAMBAM. Expectations were sky high since the hit combination back again and there is always big hype whenever a project involves Ajith kumar. After the not so successful Billa 2 Ajith delivers a engaging thriller. 

Movie is a revenge drama which also involves action, shootouts, robbery mixed with some sentiments and love story. Director avoids the side comedy tracks which are very common in Tamil movie industry.

Ajith’s character has some negative shades in the first half and he eases into character. His screen presence is awesome which lifts the movie. Arya provided the comic relief along with Tapsee and Nayan tara. Mahesh manjrekar plays the baddy which had some comic element in it. Atul kulakarni and Kishor played thrie part well.

Camera work was brilliant and so as stunt choreography. They could have avoided song sequences which act as speed breakers for this racy thriller. Some dialogues drawn clapps while other were not so effective. Back ground was apt from Yuvan Shankar Raja but same cannot be told for the songs which were very average.
