    The lady samudrakani, who could've been much better

    She is not perfect. Her actions are not based on certain logical background. The character development is flawed. Yet, there is something which keeps me glued to the screen, wanting for more. I think that's where Jyothika comes in.

    Some bold punch lines along with an 'unexpected' cliché action block were certainly worth to watch once. But it could've been much more, considering the capabilities of Jyothika.

    Raatchasi = Vijayashanti + Samudrakani

    The Plight of students in govertnment schools

    In India we have en number of schools there is a huge difference between the students in private and government schools. This movie where we see the protagonist paving a right and legal way of running a Government school in a village. Jyotika rightly chosen by the director for this role has done justice to the character. There is one good point kept in front of us to think "when Temples, Church and Mosques are funded by rich, there people never have a second opinion for the money spend for God". Why can't we do it for a school in our city or village which actually needs help. The current government is doing nothing but further widening the gap between the rich and the poor. Every kid deserves a good education. Hats off to the debut Director Sy Gowthamraj who took this opportunity to convey a sincere message to the Teachers of government schools.

    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.

    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.
