"Gambler"

"Gambler" (Mankatha in Tamil) is Ajith's 50th & also stars Arjun. A thriller on cricket betting, heist & shades of "Dhoom". Dir Venkat Prabhu attempts well but blunders mostly - takes long to establish story and characters, projects Ajith as over-confident manipulator (does well), bad editing and comedy that falls flat. Trisha & Lakshmi Rai sizzle well. Action thrills amazing- best moment: Arjun picks up Mahat in a swirling limousine in split-second. Interesting plot but could've been better.
