Ajith's 'Golden' gamble with Venkat that has paid off !

Mankatha strikes finally, AND in style! With an ensemble cast, there is every likelihood that at least a few would be relegated to the sidelines, but all of them are there deservedly.

It's Ajith all the way!

Out and Out Ajith film.

Ajith steals the thunder and plays the emotionless bad man, to perfection. He looks smashing and his scorching screen presence is unmatchable but is let down by a dull script. Arjun lives up to his image as the ‘Action King’ and plays the cop with dignity and has a style of his own. (more)

Mangaatha is especially for Ajith Kumar's fans and the people, who love action-oriented movies.

Excitement and Expectations are the two Es, which are associated with Ajith Kumar's 50th movie Mangaatha (Mankatha) release. As expected, Thala rocks the show with his styles, actions and performance. However, the overdose of stunts and useless characters in the film are irritating at parts. Read on...(more)

"Thala-lai" vechittu kondaadalaam - a MUST watch for Thala.

Mankatha is everything one would expect (or want?) it to be: A complete masala entertainer with doses of slickness, comedy and riveting dishoom-dishoom.(more)
