Por Thozhil

I will still give the future reviewers to Decide. There are few movies like this in Malayalam too and will be brought up in due course of time. Please Wait for me. Thank You. Only the smart will watch the movie and get back with a helpful vote for this review. I hope this reaches out to as many as the smartest critics who really becomes a part of the movie and review it genuinely without favouring the movie for their personal benefits. Therefore let's wait and watch who will be the first to catch. Once again Thank You for your time in reading this. I had to complete 600 words to let you know... Phew.

I'll definitely recommend Por Thozhil to those who enjoy their share of investigative crime thrillers. It's been a while since we've come across a police procedural (in Tamil cinema) that focuses on the finer details, adding an uneasy dynamic between a rookie cop and an experienced (almost emotionless) veteran. Sarath Kumar and Ashok Selvan are both splendid in their respective roles (you'd know who's who by that description I gave). Director Vignesh Raja mentioned in interviews how he's fond of David Fincher's works, and the inspiration is evident. The framing style, the dark tones, the attention to detail - the debut filmmaker certainly shows promise. It somewhat follows the Ratchasan template of a serial killer with a flashback (and a decoy), yet the film works from both writing and technical standpoints. Jakes Bejoy's score adds to the tense mood, the performances are pretty much on point, and the twists keep coming. While you won't be able to foresee the killer because his identity is unfurled layer by layer, and he shows up only in the final act (with a half-baked backstory), it's the proceedings until then that keep you on edge. There's a terrific stretch where the cop duo think they've "solved" the case only to realize that they've solved a totally different one. Let's get a sequel made soon enough, please?

Well here is a detailed review. Direction was average. Editing was poor. Bgm again is poor. Story is good tries to keep you on the edge but you still fast forward it at many places just because of poor editing. Character development of some characters should have been thorough. You can't just gave a sharp turn to a story without proper braking. Its a story not a race. Acting wise the DSP falls short. SP guy is good he looks like a tough cop. Again acting could've been a lot better. Could've been a great movie only if more homework was done. Like the behaviour of killers serial killers I mean. 6 on 10 for me.

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.

A crime suspense thriller about a serial killer! Starts with a captivating storyline n holds its grip until the half but suddenly disappoints by revealing the serial killer half way. Then usual crap flashback story to serial killer which makes no sense to his acts. No songs, no comedy, no unwanted drama definitely. But definitely could have been much better. Lead cast have played well. My ratings 6.5/10! A crime suspense thriller about a serial killer!

The movie is a police investigative thriller. While it is no masterpiece like "Theeran Adigaram Onru", it still doesnt bore you or have jarring bloody scenes. The plot sticks to the main story with no unnecessary characters or storylines. The experienced cop and rookie plays off very well where you can see the rookie keeps reacting to the situation while the experienced cop is totally immersed with almost zen like focus on solving it. If you have watched many thrillers then this movie does not hold anything special for you. Sarath Babu looks very weak and it must have been his last movie. He looks pathetic and I am surprised he was cast in such a critical role in that state. And not one you want to be your last one. The film hints at continuing the series and I would really want few more films with the detective duo solving cases along with the same actress as technical assistant. Overall a good watch with matured performances.

In my opinion this movie is the best psycho thriller genre movie. The story line is same as like all crime thriller movies,but the screenplay is take the movie to the top level. The main positive to this movie are, 1.all actors did play a brilliant performance and acting,especially sarath Kumar,Ashok Selvan, sarath Babu, Nikila vimal and so on. 2. Screenplay is the backbone of this movie. Screenplay is full engaging and make seat edge thrilling. 3.next positive is background music that not best,but good. 4. Both 1st half and 2nd half is extraordinary. 5. There is no song in 1st half ,it is also the positive,but in climax there is a little song,but that not interfere the screenplay. 6.cinematography,editing etc.. are great . 7. The message convey in the movie is really good. 8. The twist and turns must be unpredictable and enjoyable. 9. This is one of the best movie of this decade. 10. Must watch movie for crime thriller fans. Dont miss it. 11. In my view there is no negative point to mention. Thank u.
