'Nadodigal' was the film that this duo last came with, and M Sasikumar as actor and producer and his close friend P Samudrakani as director, the film went on to become a big success. And, 'Porali' is yet another big production that this duo has come with, with the same avatars they took for their 'Nadodigal'.
In 'Subramaniapuram' and 'Eesan', films directed by Sasikumar, Samudrakani did prominent roles as villain and a good cop respectively. In return, Samudrakani cast Sasikumar in 'Nadodigal' and this film 'Porali' in the protagonist role.
'Eesan' was not so well received by the industry. So, Sasikumar had to have a hit. And, he has come with a bang now with 'Porali' to hit the bulls-eye! Has he succeeded? Yes, he has!

'Porali' is about a common man's fight against the evils, his struggle to establish order and right in the society and the troubles he undergo during his fight! The film also has three other characters whose life takes to new twists with problems and how they come out from those situations is told in humour, sentiment and action.
Actor-director-producer M Sasikumar is just an actor and producer here. He has handed over the director job to Samudrakani. Sasikumar definitely excels as an actor in this film too. His getup and the very natural performance as an angry and responsible citizen reflects the emotions of the common man who is faced with troubles in his everyday life.
Swathi of 'Subramaniapuram' fame returns to Tamil with this film. She again, did not fail to capture your heart with her neat performance. Vasunthra of 'Thenmerku Paruvakkaatru' has proved again that she is an actress to reckon with as another upcoming performance oriented actress in Tamil cinema.
Remember the film 'Kurumbu' and Allari Naresh? This young talent is also making a come-back to Tamil with 'Porali' with another fine act.
Nivetha, Namo Narayana, Gnanavel, 'Ganja' Karuppu, Jayaprakash and Suri are other actors who justify their characters with their good acting.

P Samudrakani, with his writing and direction, proves his mettle again. His talent and hard work is seen in every frame of the film. Kudos to him for coming out with this bold script! 'Porali' is a milestone movie for him!
Music is done by Sundar C Babu. Songs are good and the background score raises the strength of those crucial scenes.
Another big talent is S R Kathir. His camera work arrests you and helps the director in telling his script with lighting and angles! Editing department also gets the credit for this neat film.
'Porali' is produced by Company productions of M Sasikumar. Another good and bold attempt by Sasikumar under his banner! A big pat!!!
'Porali' is definitely an enjoyable entertainer with a big message.
A watchable movie, particularly for the 'Porali' filmmaker Sasikumar!
