Wondering if it was a wise idea to pay a hefty amount for the movie tickets, I stepped into the cinema without any expectations. I was surprised with the non stop whistling (from the otherwise well behaved) audience who seemed to be both Ajith's and Arjun's die hard fans.  The movie was well paced, kept the audience glued to their seats especially all the hyper active bike, car scenes, the clubbing songs and the subtle comedy with perfect timing. The game was well played by all the team players and they proved what real hard team work means and what you can really achieve. Hats off to all of Venkat Prabhu's young team members. Ajith and Arjun have shown us their versatile acting once again.  I was still glued to my seat even after the bloopers ended hoping to get more of the game.  It was worth every cent watching the movie in the cinema. One more positive note is, I have seen a couple of interviews done with the young team members on  TV  after Mankatha's release and they have all given a very good feedback of their role and the very good time they had at the shooting spots with the 2 great actors .  Keep it up guys.
