Without much ado came the Tamil movie 'Por Thozhil'. The film had an ensemble of Sarath Kumar, Ashok Selvan, and Malayali presence Nikhila Vimal; not a big chart of A-listers expected to rope people to cinemas. Breaking all odds, Por Thozhil is winning theatres in Kerala and is showing traits of the success grabbed by the 2016 neo-noir Dhuruvangal Pathinaaru. The movie is packed in full houses with word of mouth spreading like wildfire.

A senior officer and his trainee's sojourn to find a mystery killer frames the plot of the movie. The Vignesh Raja-directed movie has recently conducted a victory celebration in Kochi in the presence of actor Sarath Kumar. The video went viral on social media that showed Nikhila Vimal coyly approaching Sarath Kumar for a hug.

Late actor Sarath Babu dons a special character and gets most of the praise for his screen stealer performance. Sunil Sugadha and Santhosh Keezhattor are other big Malayalam names in the movie along with actor Nikhila Vimal. Kalai Selvan Sivaji is the cinematographer.
