'Mankatha' re-release breaks records with ₹2.25cr pre-sales in Tamil Nadu
Entertainment
Ajith Kumar's 2011 hit Mankatha is back in theaters and just broke the Tamil Nadu pre-sale record for re-released films, pulling in ₹2.20-2.25 crore in advance bookings on January 23.
That's even more than Vijay's Ghilli managed, and Mankatha did it with 300 fewer shows.
Massive numbers on BookMyShow
Mankatha also set a new milestone on BookMyShow by becoming the first Tamil re-release to cross 1 lakh tickets sold—over 1,01,000—while Ghilli reached only 79,000.
Can it beat Ghilli's all-time record?
Ghilli still holds the lifetime box office crown for a re-release at ₹26.50 crore, but with these huge pre-sales and buzz, Mankatha might just give it a run for its money.
You can catch Mankatha now in theaters or stream it on Sun NXT.
