The re-release of Mankatha, starring Ajith Kumar, has created a major sensation at the Tamil Nadu box office. The Venkat Prabhu-directed film has delivered extraordinary numbers within just three days, rewriting re-release records and reaffirming Ajith Kumar’s unmatched box office pull.

Originally released in 2011, Mankatha was produced by Dayanidhi Alagiri under the Cloud Nine Movies banner and went on to become a solid commercial success. The film features an ensemble cast including Arjun Sarja, Trisha Krishnan, Lakshmi Rai, Anjali, Andrea Jeremiah, Vaibhav Reddy, and Mahat Raghavendra. The technical crew includes music composer Yuvan Shankar Raja, cinematographer R. D. Rajasekhar, and editors Praveen K. L. and N. B. Srikanth.

The film was re-released grandly on January 23 and received an overwhelming response from audiences. During its opening weekend, Mankatha collected ₹4.65 crore on Day 1, followed by ₹3.33 crore on Day 2 and ₹3.57 crore on Day 3. With a total of ₹11.55 crore in just three days, the film has set a new benchmark for re-released movies in Tamil Nadu.

In comparison, previous re-release records were held by Ghilli with ₹9.3 crore, Padayappa with ₹8.5 crore, and Sachien with ₹5.9 crore. Films like Khaleja and Baahubali: The Beginning had earlier crossed the ₹10 crore mark during their re-runs, but Mankatha has now surpassed them in record time.

With this remarkable performance, Mankatha has once again proven Ajith Kumar’s box office stamina, breaking re-release records of films starring Rajinikanth and Vijay. The film is now on track to become the highest-grossing re-release in South Indian cinema history.
