 The plot of the murder mystery revolves around two Chennai-based cops, a veteran and a novice, who are on a mission to find a serial killer in Trichy. Their investigation leads to shocking revelations, and they realize that the suspect they have been trailing, isn't the real culprit. Por Thozhil revolves around how they solve the case.

Ashok Selvan had earlier told OTTplay, "This is the first time that I am playing a full-fledged cop role. The best part about it is that it's not the typical meesaiya murukkra cop, but a rookie police officer, who is bit scared as well."

Talking about Por Thozhil, the film's director Vignesh had stated that he had always wanted to make serial killer stories. "Right from my childhood days, I was drawn to police subjects like Kuruthi Punal and Vettaiyadu Vilayaadu. Since the image of a police officer in Tamil cinema has always been rugged, I wanted to make a counterpoint."

Echoing his thoughts is Ashok Selvan, who says, "He is scared but he hides it well. We always remember films that we connect to emotionally. The emotional graph of this film is excellent. There are many shades in between."

According to the OTTplay critic, "Por Thozhil is a taut thriller if you can overlook a few glitches. The screenplay is gripping enough despite a few sequences created in a convenient manner for the story to move forward. " The murder mystery also stars Nikhila Vimal, Nizhalgal Ravi and Sarath Babu.
