What happens

Biriyani is a 2013 Indian Tamil-language black comedy action thriller film directed and written by Venkat Prabhu and produced by Studio Green. It stars Karthi and Hansika Motwani alongside an ensemble cast including Premji, Nassar, Ramki, Sampath Raj, Madhumitha, Jayaprakash, Prem, and Mandy Takhar (in her Tamil debut). Yuvan Shankar Raja composed the score and soundtrack of Biriyani, which marks his 100th film, while Sakthi Saravanan and Praveen-Srikanth handled cinematography and editing, respectively. Filming started in November 2012, lasted for over nine months and took place primarily at Chennai, Hyderabad and Ambur. Biriyani was released on 20 December 2013 to mixed-to-positive reviews from critics. The film was reported to be inspired by the 2004 American film Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle, though Prabhu was lauded for making creative changes to the story. The film became a commercial success and recovered its budget at the box-office. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
