    Totally Positive

    The movie was a fun packed entertainer. A movie with potential impact on lives of kids and how to treat them. Respecting their efforts. Need for change. Taking charge.

    Nice one based off of current educational situation

    Completely based upon the current education system, it was very well made with a good storyline, screenplay, dialogues, twists, action, emotion. Jyothika has been coming around very well with content-based movies. Although a better screenplay & music could've elevated the movie to a different level.

    Madam Geeta Rani

    This movie is fantastic and worth watching. It delves into the idea that everything has become a business, even the noble profession of teaching. The story emphasises that if teachers impart knowledge to children with genuine care and good intentions, there is a possibility that society will act more like educated people rather than educated illiterates. The plot revolves around a rural government school headmistress who rescues the school from its decline and brings about positive changes while facing obstacles from private school owners, government officials, politicians, and even her colleagues. The movie features amazing acting, skilful direction, and a compelling portrayal of the storyline. I highly recommend it.

    Today's Schools/Colleges are created for business

    Good film related to the educational system available at present in Tamil Nadu. Everyone knew the story and the way it was told is very special.

    Education - The need of developing knowledge through education - Education turned into Business - Teacher's service - The need of good service - Today's political stance that affects education - Environment, Social concern - Public school, Private school position - Diversity of parents, teachers, students (Discipline, Action, Attitude, negligence, corruption, contradiction, clarity, thoughts), a specialized education, visionary thinking, altogether it was specially designed exactly and perfectly in the screenplay by the director Mr. Gautham Raj for this story. Great appreciation and Best wishes for him.

    Suriya sir - Acting monster Jo mam - Acting monsteress - Both proved well

    Jo mam performed naturally realistic for that strong character, Geetha Rani. If the presence of Rowdyism, Heroism, Artificial, then it would spoil that Geetha Rani character. I understood that she paid an attention to the acting by knowing the importance of that strongest character. The role of the Geetha Rani is a good example of how to be a good headmaster/mistress with proper training and leadership quality.

    Royal Salute for Jo Mam!

    Sean Roldan's music gave more strength to the movie. All the other artists and technicians were excellent. Congratulations and good wishes to all in this Raatchasi Crew.

    This is a very good quality film that should be seen by everyone (headmasters/mistress, teachers, parents and students etc) in this society. At least see this movie and start to change. Good society will blossom in the reality.
