Endrendrum Punagai by I. Mueenuddin Ahmed (Review)

Story: A story of friendship, bromance between 3 guys. Unlike Nanban@3idiots, it was more on egoism and domination. Not an adaptation of dil chahtha hai either. The characters were centralized towards hero character but how the characters around him brings enlightenment. Beautifully portrayed. Good input of friendship,family and love. A lot of good values were instilled and so much of entertaining elements were included like how guys acts among their friends which was hilarious. The story might be a very general story which happens around us. But making it as realistic masterpiece is the directors achievement. Though I find minor glitch which I find illogical in the story, it doesn't affect the movie as a whole.

Cast:Jiiva played Gautham. A very egoistic and serious character. Not so dynamic and very firm. This is one of his best performance. seriously, jiiva brought life to the character. We can see the rage and how he controls the environment around him very well in the movie. Superb acting. Vinay played Shri, one of the bro of gautham. He was equally good. He had a lot of scope to perform eventhough he was not the main character. He contributed a lot for humour in the movie. Santhanam as Baby, the third and final bro. Of course he suppose to be the joker of the group. But some of his one liner doesn't work this time. But of course combination of these three idiots will make you laugh your A** out. Trisha was the lead lady named Priya. Good to see her after so long. She was beautiful and dashing as usual. And she was an added value for the romance since she really had good chemistry with jiiva. Nasser played Jiiva's father. A very loving and silent father. We dont need to teach that guy to act. He was excellent. There were few supporting characters played by Andrea, Abhinay, Varsha Ashwathi and many others.

Screenplay: The director's first achievement was signing a good cast. Good portrayal of guys friendship. It was spontaneous and realistic. Good romantic scenes, thanks to location selection. shooting love scenes at cold countries always works. Good portrayal of fatherly love. Song sequence were well choreographed. The screenplay was not draggy, which makes the movie not so lengthy. There are very valuable messages instilled in the movie. only last two songs the gap was small which looks a bit of a spoiler.

Music: Songs composed by Harris Jeyaraj and was good but typical. Yet it was a mood booster. good BGM.

Plus Point: Story, Cast, BGM, Screenplay and Moral Values.

Minus Point: Minor glitches in story.

Verdict: Awesome entertainer. Will be youngsters preference. Worth watching in cinema.

Biriyani by Venkatprabhu Review

Story:Venkatprabhu is back with his great masala work mixture of good comedy, romance, thriller, action, sentiments and fun. A full package. The movie is just another product of chaos theory. How one small thing can lead to bigger events. Well narrated, awesome turning point and epic climax. Just Like every venkatprabhu movie there is always surprise antagonist. Keep yourself tuned. If you are a venkatprabhu trend follower you will eventually make a right guess. A very enjoyable movie.

Cast: Karthi played the hero sugan. A more of a naughty boy character. I must admit, it was good makeover for him. He had the casanova look in this film. After constant flops i think this movie is a great comeback for him. He did his role very well be it as a playboy,a loving brother, a vigilant youngster and a friend with benefit of course. Quite impressed with his dance moves in the first song but other songs he was just jumping i guess. Hansika played priyanka, sugan's girlfriend. She had a significant role but she really has to improve on lipsync and emotions. I mean she did average work for a supportive and jealous girlfriend. Overall acceptable performance. As usual VP's favourite cast premji amaren played parasu, sugan's buddy or security for his problems. Pityful character, always gets tricked by sugan but with his usual comical role sure to make you laugh. But nothing new about his role, just the usual clown of venkatprabhu's movie. But in one scene he'll do mission impossible stunt. Please watch it and laugh. Nasser played Varadarajan, top ten rich guy with a lot of influence. Nasser is always an epic performer. Besides he was the turning point of the movie. Ramki made a comeback in this movie as Vijay Krishna, Varadarajan's son in law. He was a misleading character with a very important scope for the movie. Sampath played CBI officer Riyaz, he is really a versatile actor. He fits the role very well. He had that stylish look and body language. There is one epic role played by Uma Riaz Khan. Lady assasin which we hardly see in tamil cinema. It was one well played character and added value for the movie. There were a lot of supporting characters played by Jayaprakaash, Subbu Panchu, Madhumitha, mandy thakkar, sam anderson and many others.

Screenplay: One good thing about venkatprabhu is his screenplay. He'll never make you think that scenes are unnecessary in the movie. But it's just that this movie song transitions were in short gap for first half of the movie. But it was not that obvious. The way he starts up the movie brings it as narration for first half and then continue as current situation for second half quite impressive. Seriously you won't feel bored of the movie at all unless you are watching it for the third time onwards. The scenes were well organized. Even the action sequence was quite decent. Not overly done like alex pandian. The BGM made the movie to have adrenalin pump. Good thing about the movie eventhough it was an action comedy film, there were a lot scenes emphasizing on love, family and friendship value. And he made sure all the characters got purpose in the story. Everyone had a crucial role to play even the cameos. The best was the climax, he ended the movie and gave some space for sequel. He can come up with biriyaani 2. 

Music: Composed by Yuvan Shankar Raja. Their combo always a success. And this time they did it again.

Plus Point: Screenplay, Cast, BGM, Story 

Minus Point: Minor venkatprabhu stereotype

Verdict: Another awesome product of venkatprabhu. Definitely a good watch
