Alfred's look reminds me of AR Rahman. Does anyone else feel the resemblence too?

Por thozhil is one the well crafted movie that I watched in recent times. Thanks to Vignesh Raja and team for a great movie. The writing was so balanced. However, I didn't get a few things. Did Kennedy know that someone entered his house without his permission or not? Based on how he reacted during Loganathan's first visit, Kennedy should have surely found out about Prakash's entry into his house. Then still why did he invite him for dinner and why did he leave the secret room unlocked? Was Kennedy's affection towards Prakash was just because he reminded him of Freddy? Considering all the trauma Kennedy went through during his youth, why didn't he relocate to somewhere else? Why did he continue living in trichy? If not then, at least he should have moved out once the killer approached him recently. Isn't it? Was Mrs. Kennedy's death natural? Muthu selvan was not wealthy. Then, who volunteered to surrender and why? What really happened to Muthu selvan's wife and her boy friend? All those murdered girls serviced at the NGO. But veena is from Chennai & had no link with that NGO. Then how did she become the murder target?

Such an engaging movie. Reminded me of Sherlock Homes and his assistant. Please create more stories for ulaganathan and Prakash. Can the gory visuals be a bit less in the subsequent movies?

Typical serial killer movie. BUT the lighter moments made this work. And tight script. Nothing wasted. Good one time watch.

Third act was relatively weak.... The villains backstory should have been established much better than just two minute scene that tries to establish his anger and finally the climax where antagonists target feels implausible

I think I am the only one who thinks that they are hyping a mediocre thriller movie.. At last we are catching up with this trend from Mallu and Telugu cinemas..

Not to discourage the new comers, but the movie was so underwhelming, weak and many scenes seems to be forced. was immature many places. Also, the movie didn't look original. For those who are used to watch Korean thrillers, David Lynch, David Fincher, etc., this is like a kindergarten movie.
