French Biriyani Movie Review : It’s Hilarious, Its Pure Bengalurian, Its a Danish Sait Trademark Laugh Riot
French Biriyani, the Kannada film is a well brewed action comedy centred on a bunch of characters, including a French emigrant, who are after a missing bag, the film like a true stand-up comedy act (Danish Sait is known for) does well to hook the audience till the end. The three days in the life of an autorickshaw driver and a French emigrant in Bengaluru mirrors life in the IT city, what goes round and round.
It is quite hilarious, how gang of characters from diverse walks of life, cultures and religions are pitted against each other. It is a story about mistaken identity and a lost bag. There’s so much fun and funny act happening in French Biriyani, which entertain you. It is only the comedy that fill ups the weak spot in the film.
The story unfolds in the streets of Shivajinagar. And Pannaga guides the audience through the cramped streets of the area with the help of the protagonist, Asgar (Danish Sait). Asgar is a stereotypical poor Muslim youth, who hardly gets a nod in mainstream movies. But, in French Biriyani, he is the hero of the story.
Danish portrays the lives of characters such as a well-read urban wife, a Hindi-speaking maid, always grumpy Ram Murthy uncle, a group of laidback boys who always end their sentences with a ‘dude’ just to sound hip. And yes, a Tamil-speaking drunkard who always misspeaks. These characters that populate Danish’s skits represent the vibrant, cosmopolitan Bengaluru.
“Like Danish’s funny videos, his latest film French Biriyani shines light on the cultural diversity of Bengaluru that rarely gets acknowledged in mainstream movies”
What makes this film truly cosmopolitan is each character remains culturally distinct and yet coexist. They speak different dialects and yet they understand each other so well. And is there a better way to pay tribute to a city which is as diverse as Bengaluru?
Danish Sait as Asgar, the Urdu speaking auto rickshaw driver, is a hilarious. Scenes between him and Sal Yusuf, who plays the French emigrant, are easily the film’s high point. Sait breathes so much energy into the film through his portrayal of a local Muslim who speaks Urdu mixed with Kannada.
