In order to bring the second-ranked school to the first place, the headmaster Bhagavathi Perumal writes a book called ‘Mindset of Success’ to inspire the students. However, the students who read this book are led to negative thinking and are forced to a state where success is the only life, with caste and religious divisions.
Meanwhile, the book is mysteriously burned and some students and teachers of the school die. When the school staff say that the reason for this is an invisible figure, police officer K.S. Ravikumar refuses to accept it and investigates to find out the background. However, the mysterious incidents that take place there continue.
Meanwhile, the preacher R.K. Vidyadharan discovers the supernatural powers in the school and tries to ask why they are doing this. In such a chaotic situation, the former teachers of the school, Yogi Babu and Bhumika Chawla, return to the school, and upon seeing them, the supernatural powers become quiet.
Who are they? Why are they doing this? ‘School’ tells the students that there is a life beyond success and failure.
Yogi Babu, who plays the role of teacher Kanakavel, has attracted attention as a character actor, although he has dealt with comedy in moderation.
Although Bhumika Chawla does not have a big job, she has been instrumental in recording the advice that one should not only focus on success and failure, but should take life easy.
K.S. Ravikumar, who plays the police inspector, Bhagavathy Perumal, who plays the school principal, Sams, who plays the assistant principal, Nizhalgal Ravi, who plays the magician Mastan, director R.K. Vidyadharan, who plays Ulaganatha Swamy, two actresses, who play the teachers, and those who play the school students, all have done their job flawlessly.
All the songs in Ilayaraja’s music and lyrics are of the repetitive type. The background music is loud.
Cinematographer Aditya Govindaraj, although he has shown the entire film in the school premises, has not shot the classroom scenes.
Editor Raghav Urs could have reduced the length of the scenes.
Written and directed by RK Vidyadharan, although he has told a story that fosters superstition about the supernatural in a school that teaches knowledge, he has given excellent advice to the students in the background.
He has instilled in the students the belief that if they do not travel with only success and failure as their goal, but take life easy and travel, they can achieve even if they do not study.
Although the film’s length and excessive talking are its shortcomings, the ideas conveyed in the film and the dialogues that encourage the students are commendable.
