Manithan

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.

Even though remake it's well adapted and executed precisely. I loved the dialogues and would watch repeatedly especially the climax sequence.

Manithan (2016) is the remake of a well received bollywood movie Jolly LLB. Director Ahmed has done his best to remake a well written courtroom drama for Tamil audience.

The movie starts with Uday (hero of the movie) , a lawyer in the sessions court at Pollachi. He struggles to argue in the courtroom and win a case. He is getting mocked by everyone for being a failure in his career. He wants to prove himself to his girlfriend Hansika and decides to practice law in the high court in Chennai. He joins his uncle Vivek who is also a lawyer in the high court. What Uday did to prove himself to the world is the rest of the story.

Notable performances from Prakash Raj, Radha Ravi elevates the tension of the courtroom scenes. Hansika and Ishwarya have done their roles as expected. Uday has done his best till date especially in the Climax scene. Vivek makes a good comeback and brings in laughs at the right times.

As a whole very well executed courtroom drama with excellent performances all around. Go and watch it in theaters.

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.
