Por Thozhil Movie Synopsis: A senior cop and his trainee investigate a series of murder cases, and realise all of them are interlinked and that a psychopath is on the run. Can they get hold of him before it's too late?
Por Thozhil Movie Review: Por Thozhil, like most investigative thrillers, opens with a mysterious murder case that puts the police officials on their toes. But how the investigation unfolds is quite unusual and interesting, as it doesn't play the usual whodunit game. Director Vignesh Raja, instead, takes us into the lives of the people with disturbed childhoods and shows how a little affection can make some sort of difference in the lives of many.
Prakash (Ashok Selvan), an intelligent-yet-timid youngster, gets appointed to the crime branch as a trainee. Loganathan (Sarath Kumar), a senior, higher-ranking official, who's in stark contrast to Prakash, is asked to mentor him. Loganathan reluctantly agrees to travel with the rookie to investigate a mysterious murder case, but the investigation will not only help them form a close bond but also lead to some shocking revelations. Many young women get strangled to death, and the entire police department struggles to find the suspect. As events unfold, both the cops realise that there is a pattern in all of them and that a psychopath is on the loose. Can they manage to get hold of the murderer despite the lack of evidence and the complications that come along?
What makes Por Thozhil an interesting watch is its effective screenplay and inventive writing. Though the plot is not something new, with moments that we have witnessed in many investigative thrillers, Vignesh Raja and his team manage to keep us engaged and immersed in the world that they have created. The conversations between the lead characters not only take the film forward but also make us curious about how two people, with contrasting personalities, are going to crack the case.
Vignesh Raja doesn't follow the usual tropes that one finds in this genre and refrains from incorporating too many twists. In fact, there is only one in the second half, and it's quite organic. The best part is, he keeps the events engaging and enticing, even after we get to know the identity of the murderer. Many psycho-thrillers have spoken about disturbed childhood and how it ruins an individual's life. This one, too, touches upon a similar theme and succeeds.
Late actor Sarath Babu's role is one of the surprises in the film. His character is so-well designed and convincing enough to evoke some sort of fear on-screen. When it comes to performances, both Sarath Kumar and Ashok Selvan have brought out their A-game. Sarath Kumar looks effortless as a cop and brings in all his experience and pulls off a role that has a lot within. Nikhila Vimal and Lisha, too, deserve a mention. Kalaiselvan's cinematography and Jakes Bejoy background score don't disappoint us and elevate the film to a certain extent.
Though we get a lot of investigative thrillers in Tamil cinema, Por Thozhil is convincing enough to enthral and engage us throughout. It also has an underlying message that's good enough to evoke emotions.
