Sundaram Master tells the tale of a teacher who is dispatched to a tribal community to impart English, only to find himself transformed as he learns valuable life lessons.
Despite the humour, it struggles to effectively convey its message. There is a complete disconnection between what the director intended and what is finally executed.
The initial half of Sundaram Master, featuring comedy sequences, fell completely flat, with attempts at out-of-box comedy resulting in slapstick humour.
Divya Sripada’s portrayal of the village beauty is a refreshing presence on the screen. Balakrishna Neelakantapuram, is good in the role of a village elder in the film.
Director Kalyan Santhosh serves Sundaram Master as a thought-provoking social commentary, illuminating the disappearing values in a competitive and materialistic society.
