Teacher) is a 2023 Indian bilingual period action drama film written and directed by Venky Atluri.

Abhiram and his friends, students at an educational institute run by Srinivas (Samuthirakani), are preparing for the engineering entrance examination.

They come across an old box of cassette tapes containing mathematics classes with a receipt accompanying it in the name of Kumar from Sozhavaram, dating back to 2000.

Five years later, with government colleges shutting down due to a shortage of lecturers, the poor who cannot afford private institutions are left with little access to higher education.

Bala's ex-students help him get back to his hometown, where he becomes dependent on his father, Narayanan (Naren), who works as a driver.

After recovering, he takes up tutoring at his home on the insistence of Ansari, his former teacher, after many failed job interviews at private junior colleges.

Bala gets an idea and records his lectures using cassette tapes and sends them to Bhupathi (Abhiram's grandfather), a photographer in Sozhavaram.

Bhupathi runs special shows for students at 6 p.m. every day in the nearby theater, where Bala's lectures are played.

To clear doubts and interact with students, Bala visits the village, under the guise of a drama artist, each Sunday.

Bala fights them off and the students perform well, clearing the exams with Muthu scoring the first rank and revealing himself as Kumar.

In the present Kumar continues his story, saying that the theater where they studied is now a coaching center for the underprivileged, developed by the old students, who take turns teaching each year.

Atluri had recruited music composer G. V. Prakash Kumar, cinematographer Dinesh Krishnan and editor Navin Nooli.
