In 1990s India, an assistant maths teacher is sent from a private institution to an underfunded public school, where a classroom of overlooked students pulls him into a wider fight over who gets access to education. Dhanush is the teacher at the center, pushing against a system shaped by money, neglect, and local politics as he tries to change what his students think is possible. Samyuktha Menon appears alongside him in a story built around schoolhouse struggles, public pressure, and the collision between teaching and power.
