Yuvaraj (played by Kalidas Jayaram) is a huge dumb jerk, begging to get knocked out by Prabhu (played by Arjun Das), a relatively mature drug addict (who is also a student) seeking redemption. In their rivalry, Gayathri (played by T. J. Bhanu) gets caught, who is a righteous young woman actively defeating nepotism in student politics.

Even Jimshi Khalid's aesthetic cinematography, Sanjith Hegde's soothing background music, and Bejoy Nambiar's excellent direction couldn't save the latter's awful screenplay, which is written for a web series rather than a theatrical film, by which I mean, it is a chore to sit through this never-ending childish war between Yuvaraj and Prabhu, who are constantly distracted by 'other' characters whose names are not even worth remembering.

Bejoy Nambiar, in his attempt to take a stance against ragging, and casteism ends up in turn glorifying them, with unnecessary hype, cool slow-mo shots, and dialogues that only a casteist could write. To conclude, 'Por' was a big NO for me in terms of story, but I did admire the crew's work. Also, Indian Express has given the film a one-out-of-five rating, which I don't disagree with.
