Por Thozhil

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.

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.

All aspiring filmmakers should take some notes; crime novelists could take a couple of lessons as well; this is how tales of crime should be adapted into compelling screenplays, and this is how crime thrillers should be concocted.

What an immaculate work; albeit I was already aware of its encouraging reception, it still managed to leave a lingering impression.

One of the main reasons being its neat writing which wasted no time in trifling worries and refrained from indulging in unnecessary subplots; the script, from beginning to end, stayed very much to the point and seldom detracted from its intended course, which I admired.

Other than its writing mastery, the performances too had their significant contributions; both the leads did great in their respective positions, and they had to gel well together, and they did, which in return produced more anticipation for the viewers; it made things more memorable, I reckon.

Firstly, I am not the target audience here. I am a Telugu speaking person. I have picked this movie to watch only because I am a fan of this genre.

The first half is great. Classic crime investigation stuff. The second half is good too. The graph dropped a bit after the flash back in the second half which is followed by a decent climax.

If you are expecting something on a level of Ratsasan, you will be disappointed for sure. Not sure why everybody is comparing this movie with Ratsasan.

However, if you are interested in this movie, you can definitely give it a shot - be it in theatre or on OTT.

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.
