Manitha Jaathi is a 1991 Indian Tamil film, directed and produced by P. Kalaimani. The film stars Sivakumar, Ramki, Nirosha and Ravichandran in lead roles. The film had musical score by Ilayaraja.

The life of a small provincial town was stirred up by a series of terrible and inexplicable crimes. Circumstantial evidence pointed to the involvement of a well-respected television presenter of a popular religious program in the gang's affairs. He is opposed by Ivan Sklyar, a brave and experienced judge, an irreconcilable "lawyer-cracker" who firmly believes in the inevitability of punishment.
