    Do your job properly,you will get the respect you deserve...!!!

    A rivetting journey of crime thriller that keeps u edge of seat untill the last act...with a brilliant story screenplay and fine performance from the cast the flick has garnered all-round accolades... Vignesh raja explores the realities of police job simultaneously livelihood of individuals at proper intervals where the characters are caught in a vortex of survival and desperate measures they take on and consequences sets the benchmark for Kollywood post "RATCHASAN"... While compelling narratives are supported by evocative camera work and bgm keeps u in a web of deceit and compliments the narration ... Overall a worthy theatrical movie that deserves a nationwide recognition...

    One of the best thriller in recent times

    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.

    This is how Crime-thrillers should be made!

    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.

    The art of writing a taut thriller.

    Por Thozhil is about a newly recruited DSP trainee Prakash (Ashok Selvan) teaming up with seasoned officer SP Lokanathan (Sarath Kumar) over a serial killing case. Lokanathan is least interested in mentoring the rookie and the rookie decides to prove himself by helping Lokanathan solve the case. A series of murders happen with the perpetrator leaving no clue and randomly choosing the victims. How the duo find the real killer when they have literally no motive to work with forms the story.

    Por Thozhil solely works for it's writing which gives no space to deviate from it's limited set of characters and their sub plots. Kudos to the director for keeping proceedings tense and especially the first half simply stands out with that terrific interval block. The subtle treatment does the trick and having seasoned actors like Sarath Babu and Sarath Kumar is a casting masterstroke. The second half though doesn't match the first half which had set the bar too high, it still delivers with the rightly placed twists despite choosing the predictable narrative.

    With strong performances and a tight narrative, Por Thozhil is another worthy entry into the investigative thriller genre and is worth watching. Definitely recommended.
