Dange
Titas Chowdhury of
Por
Roopa Radhakrishnan of The Times of India gave 3/5 stars and wrote "There are a lot of characters and subplots in Por, and it's quite natural that the film isn't able to justify all of them."[20] Narayani. M of The New Indian Express gave 2.5/5 stars and wrote "It’s a cinematic rollercoaster ride, and you would want to stand up and clap for its technical brilliance. Yet amidst the exhilarating ride, there’s a lingering sense of disappointment as the narrative fails to rise to the occasion."[21] Gopinath Rajendran of The Hindu wrote "‘Por’ features some fascinating ideas, decent performances and looks stylish, but the sub-plots don’t come together cohesively resulting in a predictable drama that’s all over the place."[22] Latha Srinivasan of Hindustan Times wrote "Por is a film that goes down fighting to win over the audience with its youth story. Unfortunately, the story doesn’t have the spunk of Arjun Das nor the fury of Kalidas Jayaram to keep us engaged and invested."[23]
