PT Sir
PT Sir
Kanagavel is a young Physical Education teacher in a school in Erode. His mother Eswari strictly forbids him from involving in any social issues as an astrologer predicted that it will be fatal for him. The PT master is in love with teacher Vanathi and the couple's engagement is fixed. Meanwhile, a young girl named Nandhini, a college going neighbour of Kanagavel, is molested by unknown men and, though not getting involved in the issue, he advises her to move on. On the engagement day however, Nandhini commits suicide and in spite of his mother's warnings, Kanagavel files a case of murder accusing the college chairman, GP Guru Purushothaman. It is then revealed that Purushothaman himself had sexually abused Nandini which she commits suicide. Eventually it is revealed in the courtroom that Nandhini actually didn't die and had faked it so that she can successfully convince the police officers to arrest GP. The judge believes her and GP was sentenced to life imprisonment.
