Por Thozhil Movie Story
In 2010, Prakash, a newly recruited DSP trainee, is assigned by ADGP Mahendran to work with SP Loganathan, who reluctantly agrees to mentor him along with his new technical assistant Veena. The three travel from Chennai to Tiruchirappalli to investigate the gruesome murder of a young girl in a deep forest. Doctors conclude that the victim was strangled from the front with an iron wire while she was on her knees, with her hair tied back and her hands tied. A hematoma on her neck indicates that the victim was hit on certain pressure points, rendering her unconscious, and was subsequently abducted. Given the peculiarities of the case, Loganathan predicts a serial killer.
As expected, several more young women are killed in the same manner and their bodies left in the forest. One of them is the daughter of a police officer. There are no connections or similarities between the victims other than their age (early to mid-20s) and the fact that they were killed and left in the same manner. In the course of his investigation, Loganathan concludes from the killer’s modus operandi and the random selection of women that he must be a psychopath with an inferiority complex who compensates for his low self-esteem by putting his victims in a submissive position. He looks him straight in the eye.
Por Thozhil Movie Review
One of the best films in the thriller and suspense genre, if not the absolute best. Outstanding performances from Ashok Selvan, Sharath Kumar and Sharath Babu. The plot is engaging and the cinematography is excellent. Every scene was exciting, unpredictable and captivating. Hats off to the entire team for creating a great Tamil film. I don’t think anyone other than Ashok could have played this character better.
There were no songs, no silly romantic sequences or a thousand angles to introduce the character.
