Biriyani Tamil movie review


This is a comedy thriller.  Average entertainer.  Karthi's ability to correct any and all 'figures' seems just a little unbelievable.  His sidekick is Santhanam, whose plight is comical becuase he guilelessly trusts his friend to 'correct' some girl for him but is let down everytime.
Things take an  unexpected turn when the two friends are blamed for murder.  How they tactfully clear their names is what forms the 'thriller' part of the story.  Narration is gripping and interesting.  
Speacial mention must be made for Uma Riyaz's impressive prowess as a hit woman.

Veeram Tamil movie review

Thalai (Ajith) offers this super entertainer movie - Veeram.  Almost for the entire movie he dons dhoti and shirt which I find very 'Tamilan' like!  His looks and make up is good too. 

Ajith is the oldest of five brothers, he is the one who looked after them in their youth after they lost their parents at a very young age.  So predictably all the brothers look up to him and his is the last word always.  By sheer hardwork, Ajith holds a respectable position and a floursihing business in his home town.  However he has resolved never to get married because a new comer to the family may, just may, drive a wedge among the close knit brothers.  All that changes when the brothers and Santhanam (as their family lawyer) plot to get Ajith to fall in love with Tamanna, who is a new comer to the village.

The second half of the story is set in Tamanna's village and her family.  Not only is the hero's costume very 'tamilian' but almost the entire movie is set in rural Tamil Nadu which is a refreshing sight.  Also in the second half Tamanna's home is very well depicted and it blends into the scheme of things quite well.

Santhanam's comedy is a scream in the first half; things get all the more hilarious after Thambi Ramaiyya joins on in the second half.

Tamanna performs her role with maturity and it is a welcome change!

This movie has the perfect mix of fights, good music, humor, a plausible story line, and overall a good entertainer, but the charismatic Ajith is who acutally steals the show.
