Mankatha Re-Release Box Office Collection Day 19: When a 15-year-old film returns to theaters and keeps drawing crowds almost three weeks later, you know the magic is real.
Ajith Kumar’s 2011 blockbuster Mankatha re-released on January 23, 2026, to celebrate Thala’s incredible 35-year journey in cinema — and as of February 10, 2026 (Day 19), the film is proving why it remains one of Tamil cinema’s most loved action entertainers.
Mankatha Re-Release Box Office Collection Day 19 shows steady fan love. While daily numbers for re-releases are often grouped rather than broken down individually, trade estimates place the cumulative worldwide gross at ₹14–16 crore after 19 days.
The film is still running in select screens across Tamil Nadu and Karnataka, especially in Chennai’s iconic theaters like Rohini Silver Screens and Kasi.

Mankatha Re-Release Box Office Collection Day 19 proves the film’s timeless pull. It set a new record for the highest pre-sales of any Tamil re-release in Tamil Nadu — even beating Ghilli — and fans are still celebrating Ajith’s stylish “Vinayak Mahadev” role. The dual re-release with Vijay’s Theri created extra nostalgia buzz that helped both films.
Trade analysts are calling it a clear blockbuster-level success for a re-run in 2026. The lack of major new Tamil releases in early February has also given it breathing room to keep running.
