Por Thozhil

This film feels like one of the best crime novel-based films ever made.

The 2 protagonists based crime investigation drama in Tamil films is rarely made and the twists & turns in the film are so engaging with a back plot for every character and made in a not-so-boring way is really intriguing to watch.

The unfolding of every single scene from the start to the end of the film with a nicely designed characterisation makes this film a must-watch for all crime moviegoers.

After a long time, Sarath Kumar has done a role that showcases how good a senior actor he is.

Overall, this film is a bliss to watch, if you like watching crime investigation thrillers.

Por Thozil A review by Rajesh Puvvada 11th June 2023

It's been while since I have watched a movie where every sentence spoken and every shot taken has complete relevance. The plot and presentation is so handsome that the looks of actors are of no purpose in this movie.

Crime and serial killing stories are not new, but how the movie is presented makes a whole difference. It's a typical story with a veteran and rookie gap in understanding is wide and the grumpy veteran has an edge backed by experience.

By far Sharath Kumar's most meaningful no nonsense performance. Ashok Selvan fits very well within the plot and delivers his part without blemish. I must say with his performance he has come of age in Tamil cinema. You get to see Sarath Babu for one last time in this movie. The quaint septuagenarian has delivered and that was noteworthy.

The movie spins around a few roads in Trichy. No long chases, unnecessary build ups, six pack glamour. There is so much realism in this movie, one will appreciate the colloquial flavour the movie keeps.

The movie leaves a message to all those parents who fail to offer a proper childhood to their children. So it's a must watch for all the parents. The mortuary scenes can be disturbing, hence I would recommend to leave the young children away from this movie.

I am going with a 8.8/10 for this one. Do watch it!! Some can wait for the OTT release, but you will miss the completeness a theatre would offer generously!!

I am planning to watch it again, to analyse the presentation style!!

A well written & well made engaging edge of the seat crime thriller by Vignesh Raja. The first half was superb, and the second half was extraordinary. The last 45 minutes were unpredictable, with twists & turns. The killer's motive was well executed through flashback, and his sad moments were portrayed good. The duo of Sarath Kumar and Ashok Selvan was absolutely phenomenal, leaving a lasting impact throughout the movie. Sarath Kumar played his cop role perfectly, showcasing boldness and brilliance. The way his character was explained in the last scene, within a single scene, was truly great. The character growth of Ashok Selvan from the beginning to the end was Impressive, his last gun scene was outstanding. Cinematography was excellent. The Background Music was absolutely perfect, creating thrilling moments. Overall, "Por Thozil" offers a great experience that does not disappoint.

I would like to hurry recommend this week engaging thriller gripping screenplay and I never seen this type of thriller in Tamil cinema in recent times. Both the actress did very well specially Sharad Kumar did brilliant. Story telling screenplay cinematography and background drama looks very nice. Keeping this suspense and pattern very well and direction will give you high points it would be my personal favourite now you can watch it in on Sony LIV. Murder mystery and engaging drama would feel best among the suspense thriller. It's highly recommending now. I am expecting more Tamil movies like this.
