Vajram

Vajram (Eng: Diamonds) is a comedy crime thriller film released in tamil in the year 2015. Ramesh Selvan is the director of the film and FM Faisal composed the music. The film stars Kishore, Sree Ram, Pandi, Kuttymani. Thambi Ramaiah, jaya Prakash and Bhavana Shetty in pivotal roles. Vajram portrays the story of three boys who were unfortunately convicted to Juvenile prison and their life and revenge in the background of the prison. Arvind, Maduri, Pandi and Kuttymani are now the inhabits of the Juvenile home and the charge upon them is raping their classmate. After coming there in juvenile home they make some problems and they were noticed as 'little culprits' in the eyes of the law. Then they befriended with a crooked police officer who was a benami of minister. The minister had entrusted Rs. 100 crore worth wealth with the police officer and he wanted to take this wealth as his own dropping the minister. For that he sketched a plan and picks up the four boys to work out his plan. Actually he planned to use them for his own benefit and did not know the enemity the children had with the minister. They not only kidnapped the minister but planned to kidnap his daughter also. They flied to a forest with them. But there was one person who does not believe their direct involvement in the cime of raping and that was none other than their teacher. He was confident of bringing them back to normal life and continue their school life. Could they succeed in revenging against the minister? But the question is what was the role of yazhini in the story and the kidnapping of Yazhini became a headache for them? The teacher, who loved them more became helpless at first part and showed a progress in the last portion of the film. The film received many negative reviews and was a flop at the boxoffice. The film failed in all aspects and the director and film crew failed to connecting the story in a reasonable, believable manner. Many stories of the past had a close resemblance with the film and it contributed nothing innovative with it. The performance of the actors also were only average and they failed to cover up the climax till the end. The end of the story was predictable and a little more paid attention to the script and direction would have made it a fantastic film of the year. I wish to finish off this review with a quote from The Hindu which says as follows : ' it is a difficult film to sit through. It could have been a lot more interesting and it simply concerned itself with the problems in juvenile detention centres. But in its present form, the film's idealistic message isn't new and neither is the means it employs to make it'
