Vajram (1995)

This socially relevant family drama delves into the tremendous power of a father to influence his son, either for good or bad. Shankar is a mathematics teacher who desperately wishes for his son to follow in his footsteps. When his son, Chakri proves to be mediocre in mathematics, but shows exceptional talent in practical mechanical skills, he invokes his father's wrath. Shankar begins to tyrannise him, beating and insulting him in public in an attempt to suppress his spirit.

However, instead of making Chakri submissive, Shankar's abuse has the opposite effect on him. Chakri rebels completely, quits his education altogether, leaves home and becomes an independent businessman. He also becomes involved in social issues and fearlessly stands up against injustice, corruption and exploitation. Quite naturally, he develops many enemies, both in the underworld and in law enforcement. How will his future unfold? Will he succeed in defeating his powerful enemies? How will his relationship with his father turn out?
