    Must watch

    #Raatchasi A must watch movie

    This movie is a must watch by each and every teacher private or government every parent. Based on Government education system what's happening to poor one's with no facilities.

    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.

    Simple and Positive movie

    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.

    It's campy and fun, but I take some issue with it

    Note: This is more of a critique rather than a review.

    This is one of those those soap opera style, uber dramatized stories that makes it kind of campy - but they were able to do it in a fun and refreshing way, because you usually don't see it apply to this setting.

    The setting is a public school which lacks funds, or teachers who put in effort, and the students are neglected and perform poorly.

    A new headmistress (or Head Master as they call her) comes and shakes things up in a very bad*** way that's very fun to watch. She makes enemies with the Assistant Head Master, a local political, and a guy who runs an expensive private school in the area.

    I do have a couple of gripes with the movie. On one hand, while it is great that she has the student's best interests at heart, she is known to be really hard on the teachers, and way too friendly with the students, even allowing them to call her by her first name and getting a little too familiar with them. You can't encourage students to treat you like a friend and expect them to respect your authority (speaking as an authority). But being strict with students also doesn't mean you are not looking out for their best interest.

    While I appreciate the film criticizes the complacence of the government school teachers who only collect a salary and coast on their jobs due to lack of oversight, the film places the blame squarely on the teachers. The film never asks - but are these teachers paid enough? They are compared to private school teachers several times - but it never brings up the wage disparity.

    In fact, the film puts too much emphasis on individual responsibility. The headmistress convinces the townsfolk and alumni to make donations to raise funds for the school - she convinces them it is their duty. The movie places the responsibility of good education squarely on the shoulders of the teachers (and never questions those who are responsible for paying the teachers) and of the upkeep on the school on the community (and not the authorities who are supposed to fund it).

    Basically the movie thinks it's looking out for the little guy, but it makes the mistake of thinking the students are the only little guys in the pictures.

    But I did have a good time with it. And would like more of this please.
