The film mirrors the real-life love triangle between Rifat Sharif, his wife Ayesha Siddika Minni, and the local criminal Nayan Bond.

Reviewers largely praised the film for its "top-notch" acting and "catchy" soundtrack, particularly the title track "Jolere Poran". However, some critics pointed to a "rushed" final 30 minutes and an imbalance in pace between the first and second halves. Despite these technical gripes, the film's emotional weight and "no-holds-barred" realism left a lasting mark on Dhallywood fans.

"Go back," he said, his voice a dry leaf. "I am nothing now."

Poran gained significant attention for its striking parallels to the sensational that occurred in Barguna in 2019.

The story centers around (played brilliantly by Bidya Sinha Mim), a young woman who falls victim to a toxic, manipulative relationship. Her partner, the charming but sociopathic Shakawat (played by Roshan), is not a villain in the traditional sense of a gangster or a thief. He is something far more common and terrifying: an insecure, manipulative man who uses "love" as a weapon.

She followed the trail of blue paint—drops leading away from the city, toward the old train graveyard. There, she found him. Shuvro was alive, but broken. His hands, those beautiful painter’s hands, were bandaged and useless. He could no longer hold a brush. He could no longer hold her.

Days turned to weeks. The wedding date was set. On the night before her marriage, Poran finally escaped—not to run away, but to find the truth. She went to the river. The broken flute lay half-buried in the mud. Beside it, a single painted peacock feather, still vibrant.
