Saattai

Dayalan is a newly appointed teacher of a government school in a village. He is unhappy with our education system and is also worried about the pitiable condition of education of government schools. After he joined the school, he tries to change the environment of the school. This is not welcome by Singaperumal who is Assistant Head Master (AHM). Dayalan's decision for the change does not go well with other teachers and students as well. But Dayalan's good moves were slowly noticed by Pandian.

Directed by M. Anbazhagan, Saattai leans on a strong ensemble — Samuthirakani, Mahima Nambiar, Thambi Ramaiah — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2012.
