Ajith Kumar’s mass actioner is ready to hit theatres again on January 23. The film has reached its first showtime but the audience has increased their interest to an all time high. The fans celebrate the re-release as if it were a festive occasion.

The film is approaching the pre-sales record established by Vijay's Ghilli which stands at Rs 2.15 crore.

Bengaluru joins the nationwide celebration

The entire region beyond Tamil Nadu experiences the same level of excitement. The city of Bengaluru currently experiences a strong response to Venkat Prabhu's film.

According to Karnataka Talkies the film has already earned more than Rs 13.75 lakh through advance bookings in the city. The pre sales figure for this movie has exceeded the pre sales of Rajinikanth's Padayappa which reached Rs 12.65 lakh during the same period.

The current trend indicates that Mankatha is now pursuing the Bengaluru re-release record which stands at Rs 16 lakh. The film will achieve the status of highest pre booked Tamil re-release in the city once it reaches that figure.

Explained: Why Mankatha still works

Venkat Prabhu created and directed the movie Mankatha. Ajith Kumar leads the film which features Arjun Sarja, Trisha Krishnan Lakshmi Rai, Anjali Andrea and Vaibhav as supporting actors. ETimes awarded the film a rating of 4 stars from a total of 5 stars.

Our official review said, "Ajith is the soul of the movie and the others have nothing much to do, except Arjun. He is aptly cast in the role of assistant commissioner of police Prithviraj and shares an easy camaraderie with Ajith. Another actor who stands out is Ashwin, who plays another corrupt cop Ganesh, and looks set for a promising innings. Tip-off: This Venkat Prabhu game is a good watch, especially because of Ajith's baddie act."
