Raatchasi

The movie talks about public education system in India, which describes the condition of Government schools and their inefficiencies. A strong minded head mistress brings changes to school fighting the odds. This movie spreads positiveness in its simplest way. Nothing fancy, not commercial and not romantic. But this movie is good to watch.

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.

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.

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.

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.
