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 amazing. D literally lived in this character. The first half was decent and the second half was excellent. Supoorting actors acted well and the heroine was cute and had more space screen than usually. Dhanush and Samukta formed a cute pair and she can remember some of our teachers. GV music and Bgm were incredible. Fights were terrific. The were some flaws in the dubbing. Samutrakani did his job well. The screen play was super and Dialogues are the next positive in the movie: they are really impactful. The message is needed. Venki did his best: Vaathi is a lesson that we have to learn.
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.
I don't know why people are under rating this kind of movies, this movies present bitter truth of this era. There is no vulgarity simple and sober movie, Dhanush never disappoint with his acting, a simple story each seen make you feel reality. In 21st century education become a business, goverment school and colleges are shutting down because of lack of students presence and teacher are spending more time with private and corporate classes. One thing bitter to accept that South movies are better than Bollywood, there is not a single kissing or romantic scene , no item song, proper dressing sense you can enjoy movie with your family too.
Overall movie is one time watch but must watch.

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.
