Plot

A school boy named Jeeva (Karthik), who is the son of police officer Kottai Perumal (V. R. Nagendran), questions the inabilities and defects in the Indian educational system and also shows his frustration towards studying the lessons in English language instead of learning the subjects in Tamil.[2] On the other hand, Jeeva's father too hesitates and feels afraid to speak in English similar to that of his son. If Jeeva hears even a single word pronounced in English, he will start to get frustrated about it. On one day, Kottai Perumal was sent on a transfer to Chennai after his unruly behaviour with a higher police officer who did not know to speak in Tamil. At the same time, Jeeva gets excited as he thought that he can avoid learning English by leaving the village to Chennai. But in reality, Jeeva faces trouble when he was compelled by his father to study in English medium in a high school as his father desired him to be fluent in speaking the language. Jeeva attended the high school and started to learn English, but he faces the real danger from his English master (Vijith in villainous role), who acts cruelly and mercilessly against the students for their poor efforts in learning the language. But Jeeva also gets support and advice from his Hindi language teacher (Yaashika Aannand) and somehow manages to escape from the school. When his father comes to know about the truth, he politely requested his son to study in English medium. Finally after his father's request, he changes his negative mindset on learning English language and later manages to acquire the skills by learning the language.[3][4]
