Karthi, who started
his career with 5 of his best
movies (Paruthi Veeran, Ayirathil Oruvan, Paiyaaa, Naan Maahan Alla, Siruthai) had given 3 of his worst movies (Saguni, Alexpandian & Azhaguraja)
in last 2 years. He desperately needs an HIT
to survive in Tamil Cinema. On the other hand, Venkatprabhu’s last movie
‘Mankatha’ was a blockbuster. Out of his 4 movies, 3 movies were HIT. Audio
Launch of the movie happened on 21st August ’13. There are talks in the industry
mentioning that Studio Green felt that “Azhaguraja” movie will give much needed
hit to Karthi’s career, after “Alexpandian” (Box Office Disaster) and released
it before Biriyani. Biriyani release date was postponed and it was scheduled to
be released on Pongal. But, due to clash of two big giants in Tamil Cinema for
Pongal, Biriyani got preponed and was released today.
Venkatprabhu had tweeted mentioning that ‘Biriyani” movie will have a surprise element for Ajith fans and it has created some expectation for this movie among Ajith fans. Let us see whether Venkatprabhu gives the much needed Hit for Karthi in this Common Man Review.

Story: Karthi who eats Biriyani as Main Dish, while having
liquor as Side Dish gets into an issue after going behind Mandy Takhar
Karthi – Karthi acts as Womanizer and hence, the movie deserves to be certified as “U/A”. Initially, Venkatprabhu approached Ilaythalapathy Vijay to do this role and it didn’t happen. Karthi completely fits the role of Womanizer with his mischievous looks. He gets more opportunity to perform in the second half and have done a great job. Atlast, Venkatprabhu helps him to make a decent comeback with Biriyani.
Hansika – She come in the movie for 20 – 25 minutes including 2 songs and does the role of regular heroine in commercial movie.
Premji – Venkatprabhu can give an HIT by taking a movie, without Story, but not without his brother Premji. Premji occupies the screen from first scene and even comes during the romantic song between Karthi & Mandy. People who like his acting will love 70% of his scenes in this movie and people who doesn’t like his acting will hate the first 45 minutes.
Mandy Takhar – Punjabi based actress, makes her debut in Tamil Cinema. She gets introduced in the movie after 45 minutes and the story starts only from that scene.
Ramki , Jayaprakash, Sampath & Nithin Sathya have done good job as supporting actors. Uma Riyaz, after Mounaguru, gets a meaty role in this movie and has performed well. Nassar’s acting in Pre-Climax portion of the movie deserves special mention.
Yuvan Shankar Raja - Yuvan had always given wonderful songs & BGM to Venkatprabhu in all his movies and he continues to do so with good BGM in his 100th Movie too. “Ethirthu Nil” Song sung by Yuvan Shankar Raja, Vijay Anthony, Imman, G V Prakash and Thaman was too good. But, the other songs were very ordinary and the pictuization of the songs too doesn’t support it.
Cinematography by Sakthi Saravanan was good and his experimentation with the colour tones has worked to huge extent.
Editing by Praveen & Srikanth could have been better in the first half. Second half of the movie was too engaging. First half of the movie has 45 minutes of scenes, which doesn’t create any impact to the story. If few of those scenes were removed, it would have been more engaging
Ajith’s Mankatha Song “Vilayadu Mankatha” had been used as “FLASH MOB” Song during an important scene in the movie and it had been mentioned as “Ajith’s Birthday Celebration”. Venkatprabhu’s team guys have danced for that song. Even Viay’s Google Google Song intro, Powerstar’s Lathika Movie Poster and Sam Anderson scenes were there in the movie. Surprisingly, there were 2 unnecessary scenes, which tease Suriya’s height.
Director Venkat Prabhu created a new trend in Tamil Cinema by making debut through one of the best youngster’s movie – Chennai 600028. He gave one of the best movies in Ajith’s career with “Mankatha”. Mankatha was almost the first movie, which brought the concept of Teaser to Tamil Cinema.
People are teasing Venkatprabhu for giving more importance to Premji in his movie. Even Director Rajesh & few actors use Santhanam in all their movies. There is no issue in using Premji in his movies, but he is given more importance in this movie and few of his comedy dialogues looks forced and will not be liked by certain section of people.
First 45 Minutes of the movie was absolutely not connected to the movie and Venkatprabhu has used “Karthi” as womanizer to attract youngsters & Premji to have forced comedy scenes. Except those 45 movies, rest of the movie was quite engaging with good twist in the climax. If Karthi’s characterization was little better in the first half, then this Biriyani would have been much tastier.
Overall, Venkatprabhu serves Chicken Biriyani for his fans who liked “Saroja” Movie & Kuska for Common Man
