Manithan movie review: what critics say (7)
What critics say Critics are divided: 0 of 7 rated critics gave it 3.5 or more, 2 gave it 2 or less. Praised: the emotion and the direction.
A neat remake of an engaging court drama, Manithan is a job well done from its makers.
Read the full reviewOn the whole, Manithan is watchable and works because it has heart. Make time for it this weekend.

Read the full reviewI Ahmed tries to recreate the riveting roles of Arshad Warsi, Boman Irani and Saurabh Shukla through Udhayanidhi Stalin, Prakash Raj and Radharavi respectively in his latest Tamil outing, Manithan but fails badly.
Read the full reviewOverall, director Ahmed's Manithan is a rather ordinary remake of a brilliant film.
Read the full reviewManithan works because of the casting and the fact that one lawyer from nowhere decides to fight for justice for the have-nots.

How is the fan score worked out?
It is a Fair Score, not a plain average. Votes from brand new accounts, accounts that have rated only one film, several votes from one network, sudden bursts, and accounts that only ever give 1 or 5 stars count for less. A few early ratings cannot swing it. Nothing is hidden: we show the star bars above.
