Mankatha (2011)
10/10
Mankatha-The King!!!!!
3 September 2011
Warning: Spoilers
MANKATHA-as the name suggests depicts the IPL gambling in India......

Thala 'Ajith' has done a neat job portraying his role as "Vinayak Mahadev"-The greedy and wicked man,whether in cheating others and exploiting them for his sake of attaining only three things-MONEY,MONEY,MONEY............

In the first half he does a bit on his comic side whereas on the 2nd half he shows his dark shades on how really bad Vinayak can be in his Wicked and Cunning tactics...........

The usage of Vulgar words show his peculiar character.....particularly when he kills Lakshmi Rai and says"The****a Mu**a"...........

Really this 50th film is far more better in performance and content than Ajith's Billa...........

Arjun as Prithvi plays an amazing role of a Cop next to Ajith.........

His encounter with Ajith and the subsequent action sequences are the highlight of the film.........

Vaibhav,Premji fit in small roles in the film.

Trisha is an unnecessary addition in the Film.Lakshmirai has taken some chance to perform in addition to the oomph factor.

Anjali,Andrea,Aravind Akash,Jeyaprakash have little scope.Newcomers Mahat and Ashwin have done their jobs well.........

Songs by Yuvan are Chartbusters especially 'Vilayadu Mankatha','Machi Open the Bottle' and 'Nanbanae'.'Vaada Bin Laada' is a treat to the eyes but slows down the pace of the Film.

Kudos to Venkat Prabhu for making a film concentrating particularly on the negative characters.

First half of Film is comic but slows down at few places and the second half is fast and energetic in Contrast.The last 20 minutes give a twist and make you sit on the edge of your Seat!!!!! On the whole........ Mankatha breaks the Clichés of Tamil Cinema and Thala 50 is sure to score a century or Double Century......

All the Best for Thala in his Future!!!!!
