Adutha Saattai Movie Synopsis: A college professor tries to unite his students who lack proper guidance from parents and teachers

Adutha Saattai Movie Review: One knows what to expect with a film titled "Adutha Sattai" which has Samuthirakani in lead role, thanks to a couple of movies which had the actor in a similar role. Oh wait, the roles aren't similar, but the same - be it the body language, appearance and the histrionics, the character Dayalan he has played two times earlier has been repeated for the third time. The similarity doesn't end there. We have the same egoistic principal Singaperumal from "Sattai" here as well. This time, too, it is essayed by Thambi Ramaiah (for a change, he's the college principal here). The actors Sree Ram, Yuvan, etc, have also been repeated.

If we hope for a small change at least in the content the film touches upon, the joke is on us. From the first scene to the last, we are fed with preachy dialogues and repetitive sequences in the name of student empowerment and social change. A scene towards the end which showcases the ugly side of caste politics is perhaps the only novel idea. The contemporary issues students face today have been discussed throughout the film, but it takes enormous patience to sit through.
