Manithan

Manithan is a movie where the script is the hero and the actors play their part eloquently in supporting the script.... The movie has a well paced script that neatly incorporates all the necessary elements. The director has sensibly added elements there were missing in the Hindi version and makes this a well etched entertainer... Udhaynidhi stalin proves he's here to stay, his acting gets noticed even amongst stalwarts like Prakash raj & Radharavi. The movie is sprinkled with funny moments and satires and kept me entertained throughout. It rides strong on emotions and creates a connect with all the characters no matter big or small. That's probably where the strength of the film lies in. One might find the pace of the first of a little slow but the second half makes up for it and also a special mention to the riveting climax. Overall Manithan deserves to be watched for its very good script, hard hitting dialogues and an excellent performance from its starcast.

This is essentially a well made remake of the original Hindi version of Jolly LLB. This movie has been very well made to suit well for the Tamil audience better and appeal to mass crowd. Nevertheless it also manages to scrape of good marks in terms of being a good film.

The core story is closely based on a real life incident - " 1999 Delhi Hit and Run Case " involving a person named Sanjeev Nanda, son a rich Industrialist Suresh Nanda ran over and killing many.

The story has slightly been modified and has been made into a fine script to suit the silver screen.

The performances of Radha Ravi as the Judge and Prakash Raj as the Lawyer are simply brilliant. Udhayanidhi has made a good attempt to perform, but he requires a to put a lot more efforts. Hansika looks beautiful in this movie, providing the moral support needed for the protagonist but other than that she merely remains a set property like most heroines do inn commercial cinema.

This is a definitely a cinema you can watch for some good entertainment.

The movie is extraordinary. Udhayanidhi Stalin showed his best acting in the movie. Songs and BGM is amazing. The story was excellent. Its not boring at all.

Almost a true story of mr stupid body builder solmon bhoi, But with the correct court decision.. in reality money is more powerful than Justice sometimes.

Yet an another remake of a good film (Jolly LLB) which falls into Kollywood's money making hands.At the end of the day a film is made only to make profits and not to create awareness (Unlike Visaranai).

Manithan directed by I. Ahmed who made the promising Endrendrum Punnagai seems to get everything right in making this film suit our Tamil audience but fails a bit with 2 hours 30 minutes screenplay.

Must mention is Udhay's performance mainly in the climax and his face suits the dumb not speakable-non heroic character. Vivek may not be at his best but still gives us something to laugh here and there.

Radharavi and Prakash Raj as Adisheshan's performance is one of the highlights of the film. Radharavi as Judge looks uber cool and apt for the role. Kudos to the cast crew.

Like yet an another Tamil film Hansika's role is as useless as studying engineering in this current generation and like a mediocre student trying to pass by writing stories, Hansika survives with some cute expressions. Hansika's mouth synchronization's continues to be pathetic (We have talked about this enough).
