This is our 'Thala' Ajith's 50th movie, Trisha's 40th movie and Venkat's 4th movie. When talking about Venkat the Director, I should mention here about all his movies are comedy based.
i) Chennai 600028 - Sports spirit comedy
ii) Saroja - Thriller comedy
iii) Goa - Romance comedy
iv) Mankatha - Action packed comedy
In this movie Ajith with his half greyed hair, sparkles as Tamil version of George Cloony with his stylo-milo act and excellent performance, accompanied by Arjun of course with his superb fighting stunts. These 2 "A"s are really rocks! Beautiful Trisha will be sizzling on the screen for maximum 30 - 40 minutes. But her Punjabi suits will be sizzling all the gals mind after watching the movie. Including mine, yes right now...especially the one she wear at the beach :) I think most probably that fashion will become this year Deepavali's promotion suit. Mark my word..!
The other famous faces are, Andrea, Lakshmi Rai, Anjali, Vaibhav, Premji and Jayaprakash. Then there are 2 newcomers Mahat Ragavendra the wine shop owner who resembles actor Srikanth and Simbu. And Ashwin the Sub-Inspector who resembles "Aasai" Ajith and "Deala no Deala" Rishi.
I find this is the only multi-starrer Tamil film featuring top stars had equally and suitably characterized their (actors listed above) role with their importance on this movie. There is no dragging scenes or bragging songs which usually comes in Super Hero movies. Only in this movie you'll be laughing when one another killed themselves for money. And believe me only in this movie you can watch Vijay's recent movie clip, hear Surya's famous name, Kamal movie's famous dialogue, and listen to Superstar's expensive song....Can't believe it...hahaha..Mankatha..da!
The only minus point of this movie is Ajith smokes a lot...A LOT..! And there are many foul languages been used. Even though its muted, but still you can read their lips. Since it's a gambling based story and more over its a "male-oriented' movie, so there are strictly no rules and no comments about it :P
Watch it if you really need a break and watch it if you really like "Fast 5". Semma chasing, semma fighting, semma comedy, semma climax, semma jackpot...! Chance eh ille...! It's not a movie...IT IS A GAME. Superb Mankatha Game..which worth 500 Crore of enjoyment and laughter. But the ticket price is only RM 10 yar..!
Wait..wait..wait..!! My humble request don't ever and ever and ever take your butts off from the seat once the credits rolls-on in the cine screen . Its a big waste if you missed the "making of" scenes. Its hilarious. You will see the real character of Ultimate Star Ajith Kumar. Especially when taking the group photo of police academy, when Vaibhav admits he didn't hit Ajith, how Ajith cracks jokes when the serious scene being on shooting. Its all fun. You'll be amazed to see how friendly and genuinely Ajith enjoy working with his co-star Arjun and other youngsters in the movie without any ego.
I am not his fan or anybody....but really salute to him for being such great human being. To all the "Thala" fans...you guys should proud of yourselves for being is fan. At last no least....after watching this movie, definitely many of you will start to say..."I'm so impressed"...! Okay then...tata..bubye....:)
