Watch Mankatha For Free

Touches You

Good concept, poorly executed.

Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

Blistering performances.

This movie is totally worth watching over and over again at the cinemas. Venkat Prabhu has scripted the story very well that will keep fans and movie goers glued to their seats from Ajith's mass entry until the unveiled plot at the climax of the movie.The movie seems to be in line where a bunch of guys plan to rob gambling money and Thala joins and also enhances their plan.However Ajith himself has given a twist where he plans to kill everyone else just for the money.All the songs were superb thanks to Yuvanshankar Raja.The theme music was the best and was slotted in at the right places in the movie to give an extra kick.Ajith and Arjun combo rocked the screens especially when they meet one to one at the climax for a rocking battle.Venkat Prabhu completed the movie with flares when he reveal a mega twist at the end of the movie.To sum it all up this movie has a complete set of action,drama,romance,comedy and suspense!

The main plot of the movie is surely ripped off (not copied that is too subtle) from the Italian job and wild things. You may think it is a coincidence but coincidences don't happen often. Next the action sequences have been taken from the movies like Takers, Red (Bruce Willis), Oceans 11,12,13, Wanted (not the Hindi one). This leaves only the song sequences and the other third rated scenes. Songs and the background score is MIND-BLOWING. AWESOME!! that too when Ajith walks out of BINNY mills in that white suit you get goosebumps. Ajith is as charming as he can. He just captures your heart as a hero. Other characters other than Arjun don't stick to your mind. Half baked action scenes, hue smitten cinematography, poorly lit shots, badly used heroines are the point that sticks out when I watched this movie. Ajith has tried a negative character, A pat on his back but the characterization is more larger-than-life than a joker from dark knight or fletcher from dasavataram. Venkat prabhu is a director who seriously lacks creativity. But his sense of humor is the only thing that keeps him afloat in this Industry. A humongous monument by an ajith fan to ajith with the bricks stolen from other monuments.MY VERDICT: Amateur movie making at its best.one star for Ajith, one for Yuvan, One for the editing and minus one for the director who lacks intelligence.

Right from the first frame till the final frame, Ajith has lived the role of a Villain perfectly. (Who would have thought this being his 50th movie !). His evil filled laughter, his styles, his dialogue delivery and more importantly his dance moves were way too good. Thala has proved that he is indeed the "King Maker" as he himself says that in the movie. Rest of the cast just form the cast except Arjun who has portrayed a cop role in a stylish manner. Songs by Yuvan are usual to his standards. Direction by Venkat is good for the major portions of the later half of the movie. First half is slightly slower but gathers momentum as the movie proceeds. Despite few flaws here and there, we forget them at the end thanks to a great climax and a great performance by Ajith all the way. Surely a movie worth watching twice or even more.
