The screenplay is neatly packed with twists and turns necessary for the story. Both Harish Kalyan and Anandhi have delivered their roles perfectly. The thrill elements in the film keep the audience glued to their seats. Performances by Mohan Raman and Mayilsamy need a special mention. Cinematography by Velraj is an added advantage to Poriyaalan. Music director M.S. Jones’s BGM has kept up with the pace of the film.
Overall, Poriyaalan describes the struggle of a civil engineer in an intense manner.
