Malayali audience has seen many stories of teachers. What sets Teacher apart from the rest is its strong theme. Because this will be the first time you will meet such a teacher. The film, which tells about the extreme crises that a teacher’s life goes through in the misdirection of students, is also a direct mirror to some current realities.
The theme of this movie is about a crisis that comes accidentally in the life of Devika, a physical education teacher from Kollam and her journey to overcome it. Devika comes from a very ordinary family. It is by traveling through such paths that she confronts and resolves crises. This will certainly remind us of many events that are happening in our time. Therefore, the audience can easily relate. Moreover, the director has also managed to present the seriousness of the subject accurately. The length of the movie will not be boring anymore.
The film tells how the society looks at girls who are sexually assaulted and how they are denied justice. The film discusses how the society looks at women when they have a problem and what makes them weak is the mindset of some people.

Chemban as Mani, Hakeem Shah, Anumol, Vineeta Kosi, Prashant Murali, Senthil Krishna, Nandu and Dinesh Prabhakar as Devika’s innocent husband Sujith are other actors. The newcomers who came as school children also gave a magnificent performance.
Don Vincent’s music deserves a mention. As the music reaches its climax, which moves along with the life circumstances of the character Devika, the audience joins in too. Anu Moothedam’s cinematography is also superb. Especially in the sequences in the climax shots, the camera skill gives a different mood.
