First of all, I would like to say thanks to Venky and Dhanush. After watching trailer I didn't get much expectations on this movie but it was super hit. Today watched on Netflix. What a screenplay. Got goosebumps on emotional scenes. Even cried in few scenes, don't know why but I connected to the movie. No boaring scenes. One good thing from direction point of view is, every character had importance. Sai Kumar sir great expressions. I saw many positive reviews, most of them said feel good movie and emotional but didn't applause the director. I am still thinking without screenplay and direction how the people well connected to the movie? Dhanush proven again as a correct judge in story selection. This might not be highest collected movie in his career but would become one of the memorable movie. Thanks to GV Prakash. Education means lord Saraswathi. Her music instrument is veena. So when people demolished the school place Saraswathi got anger that anger was shown in Veena music. Good one. Overall super movie.
This movie shows us the real meaning of Make in India. Padhega India, Tabhi toh Badhega India!! This movie shows the value of education. Dhanush always surprises us with something new. But Vaathi is something special, something different he did. Fantastic story, Superb performances, Mind blowing screenplay. Overall a full package of Magic.
Role of a teacher in our lives is unavoidable. A teacher does not teaches a student but makes a good human. If a teacher wants, can make someone star.
Overall I personally liked the movie so much. It touches my heart.
The first step of Make in India should be Educate India.

Well, first let me just say that I'm not usually the one that writes reviews! But wow! This movie is really underrated. The plot was solid 10/10 for me and the Dhanush's acting just the cherry on the top. Musical direction is also top notch. Granted, some of other cast performance was not that great (such as the lead actress). But overall, this was a solid film and they delivered it as promised.
I can't believe movies like Varisu or Thunivu has better viewership, but masterpieces like this left unnoticed. You're highly advised to watch this on theater! You won't regret it.
I'm not being biased, but this movie really stolen 10/10 from me.

Special thanks to dhanush for thinking out of the box and that too bilingual flick tasting the success that's sounds great,his presence and the way he carries out onscreen is a major asset to the movie,a well deserved success even better then previous outing....
G.v prakash bgm and couple of songs are soul of the movie....
Heroine portion could have been omitted nothing gain and just added runtime....
Director should have been a student and his inspiration of his guru should have been based on true incidents does give us a neat and real commercial success....
Overall a neat family entertainer that highlights the student and teacher relationship and the value of education.
This movie is a Slipper Shot to the people who is Making Education as Business and labelling Students as their Products.
The Art flim making with a social message is beautifully handled, The Director and his team superbly worked on the screenplay for delivering right moments with the help of some iconic characters from Tamilnadu, That is Dr. APJ Sir, Mahakavi Bharathiyar and The Great Ravana.
This movie will be very close to your heart if you were one of the person who came out of Village where you had less schools with very less teachers.
All the actors nicely performed their Roles and The Music was outstanding.
Hats off to Dhanush for accepting this story and preformed very perfectly.
Teaching is the greatest Service and it is not a Business.
