Mankatha Review

After about a week of hearing Mankatha , Mankatha everywhere, finally it has come to the lime light today in India.

Mankatha is all about Action, Suspense, Thrill and Romance.

A much awaited one from Venkat Prabhu under Cloud Nine – Sun Pictures Productions, and music by Yuvan and above all Ajith starring in his 50th film.

Cutting to the edge of the story, the bettings in crores in IPL is background of the story, thought cricket is not included.

Vaibhav comes as an assistant to Ajith, Premji appears to be a professional hacker (lol).

Ajith romances with Sanjana and Trisha and in the middle enters into the party un-invited and acts in a way to bag the 500 crore money.

To be frank, Ajith has lived and loved the film, you could see that as he practically carried almost the whole movie on his shoulders.

Here, his character takes a negative role in not bothering about his personal life. He frequently utters cuss words, sleeps with random chicks, drinks heavily, lives for money and lust. We could see Ajith taking such a role after his earlier blockbuster – Vaali.

After a long time, many years after,  we have here a visual treat in Ajith’s tremendous effort in dance.

Though this movie has many casts rolling, none makes a profound impact to the audiences as Ajith. Even Premji’s comedy was a bit annoying apart from 2 or 3 attempts.

Arjun, Andrea and the rest made their best to help for the betterment of the film. Yuvan Shankar Raja’s Vilayadu Mankaatha has got a mesmerising impact that his other songs didn’t get. It is not quite good to say the director has succeeded in his different attempt though he hasn’t failed. It is heard that if one is a great admirer of heist(thief) movies, he is bound to guess the climax of the film in the first 20 min. of the film and so goes for the one who frequently watches masala flicks. In short, the sequences are predictable.

On the whole, this movie is definitely a massive 50th film for Ajith.

If this movie turns out to be a hit, that is just because of Ajith and taking him out, the movie is void.

Mankatha is superb and worth watching twice or even thrice if it is Ajith and Ajith only.

There comes a scene from Vijay starrer Kavalan, thus disclosing his friendship with Vijay.

It is a visual treat for all the anticipated Ajith fans and they would definitely enjoy the movie to the core.

On the whole you would be pleased watching it once.

Mankatha gets 3.5 on 5 rating.
