Sriram, Kishore, Pandi, Kuttymani, Jayaprakash, Thambi Ramaiah, Bhavani Reddy, Sana, MayilsamyDirection: SD Ramesh Selvan
Synopsis: A corrupt cop approaches four convicts from a juvenile correctional institution to kidnap the daughter of a minister, for whom he is the benami. Little does he realize that the youngsters have their own axe to grind with the minister!
Movie Review: When Vijay Milton made Goli Soda with the boys from Pasanga, it initially felt like a bit of stunt casting but the film turned out to be one of the most inventive films of the year. Now, Ramesh Selvan seems to be keen on recreating Goli Soda and elements from that film are found all over Vajram — orphaned boys, a place they hold dear and an individual with power taking their life away from them, revenge — but the filmmaking here is dismal (flat framing, excessive slow motion shots, hammy acting and a deafening, Gregorian chants-filled background score trying to make the film appear racy) while the plot keeps turning far-fetched and convoluted. Ultimately, we end up with a bland film that feels like Goli Soda without the fizz.
The plot revolves around four youngsters, Aravindan, Madurai, Pandi and Kuttymani, who are picked up from a juvenile prison by a cop who is least willing to part with the property of a minister ( Jayaprakash), for which he is the benami.
