CHENNAI BOX OFFICE

Directed by M Anbazhagan, Saattai is a social drama that is a modern take on the educational system. The movie has award winning performers like Thambi Ramaiah and Samuthirakani in pivotal roles.

After opening to below average houses, Saattai  is still in the fray.

Such movies with less entertainment quotient and socially relevant messages should be encouraged by viewers.

There aren’t too many movies about social change in today’s entertainment centric film industry. Sattai, starring contemporary legends such as Samuthirakani and Thambi Ramiah, is one such about a teacher and his attempts at bringing about a change in his school.

Despite good reviews and decent collections, Saattai has not had a great run at the box office.

Samuthirakani's majestic performance and Imman's likable songs

Starring stalwarts such as Samuthirakani and Thambi Ramiah, Saattai is a film about social change, directed by debut director Anbazhagan. The movie revolves around a strong-willed teacher who has extremely high morals.

Saattai is fast slipping into the below average category after failing to garner enough attention.

Samuthirakani’s role as a sensible teacher has come in for much appreciation.

Saattai has Samuthirakani, someone who is very effective in straddling both the roles of a director and an actor, in the lead as a teacher with ideals and values. The film also has another stalwart Thambi Ramaiah.

Average opening recorded all over and if the word of mouth is positive, the movie’s fortunes could be lifted.

Earnest performances by the film’s lead actors.
