Mankatha (2011)
Mankatha is streaming in the UAE on Sun Nxt.
The verdict
Mankatha is a solid, watchable Tamil film that mostly delivers on what it promises. It holds a 6.8/10 on TMDB from 75 ratings, right around average territory. At 161 minutes it's a long sit, so save it for when you've got the evening. In the UAE you can stream it on Sun Nxt.
Should you spend 2h 41m on it?
2h 41m of Tamil action with thriller threaded through. Long enough that it wants your full attention rather than a second screen.
Don't watch this if…
- you want a safe bet — that rating is resting on 75 votes so far
- you want something you can finish quickly — it runs 2h 41m
- Why
- 6.8/10 from 75 ratings — well received so far, on a modest sample.
- Skip if

- Best for
- An evening with no interruptions
