Lubber Pandhu

Anbu is a talented cricketer who aspires to join his favorite Jolly Friends team but is denied the chance because of his caste. Jolly Friends team captain Karuppaiya, joins Anbu to another team and they play against Sachin Boys which had the star batsman Gethu, who plays cricket by lying to his wife Yashodai. Anbu figures out Gethu is weak in off side. A decade later, Anbu is yet to be included in Jolly Friends team, gets to play against Gethu and succeeds in bowling him out. This leads to an ego clash between them and to make it worse, Anbu is in love with Gethu's daughter Durga. How does Anbu win over Gethu and convince Yashodai to allow him to marry Durga, forms rest of the story.

This adds to the list of films I regret missing out in theater. The debutante writer-director Tamizharasan Pachamuthu impresses big time by keeping the story grounded. Though the story revolves around Anbu and Gethu, it is the supporting cast that gets to shine big time. The film begins with Anbu being denied the opportunity to join Jolly Friends and team, this remains the main plot and the way the director circled back to it in the end, though convenient, leaves a positive impact. The scenes involving Yashodai and her mother-in-law followed Yashodai and Gethu were indeed the highlight. This was melodrama done right. With the right casting and a tight screenplay, Lubber Pandhu turns out to be a solid watch and a must watch film.

Excellent movie from starting to end. Movie is perfect low budget one but tick marked in all aspects and engaged the audience completely. Using cricket as a tool and story line to communicate message is an excellent idea and full credits goes to the director. Attakathi Dinesh and Harish Kalyan screen presence and acting combo worked out really well. Swasika (Attakathi Dinesh's wife) opened the scene riding on tractor is awesome and her acting was top notch. Sanjana Krishnamoorthy acted brilliantly as a new comer and rocked the screens. There are so many high moments in movie. Devadarsini Sukumaran,Kaali Venkat, Bala Saravanan and others played their role very well. Cast selection for this movie is simply superb and also village setup also really good.

It is simply excellent and engaging movie for all age groups and must watch movie..

What a movie!! This is easily one of my favorite of the year, Tamil or not. I can already picture references from this film playing out at the Chepauk in the IPL in a few months time.

Tough to make a movie about cricket and make it different, especially since Blue Star released not too long ago. Tough to make the messaging subtle, but retain the importance. We've seen the family drama and the love-angle plot several times over the years. But regardless of all that, these guys managed to make the film look and feel very 'fresh'.

If you haven't watched this film yet, I'd very highly recommend.

After some times kollywood has given a back to back hits , actually i watched lubber pandhu after amaran. Quality movies in the recent past. Commercial directors its a humble request, believe the story and screenplay. If the content is good people will surely vome to theater and witness masterpiecees, irrespective of the stardom and one such movie is Lubber pandhu. Story and screenplay is the real star and all other charavters did their role to perfect. I just loved all of fab 4 , special kudos to dinesh and harish kalyan. Oh boy their performances and actions , the screen presence and individuality they are scoring every scene. So so good. Sean roldan is been another pillar to this movie. The music bgm and songs were top notch. The story and screenplay is soo soo good , special mention to the director, he has just wrote a script. Overall a good family entertainer. Please do watch it available in Hotstar.

The story is all about two talented cricketers, Gethu, a family man and Anbu, a happy go lucky guy. How they land in an egoistic situation and what happens to them and people around them forms the crux of the story, layered with many beautiful sub plots and interesting characters with many light hearted and rib tickling comedy through out the movie. Attakathi Dinesh as Gethu and Harish Kalyan as Anbu are the main anchors of the movie! Supporting characters by Sanjana, Swasika, Kali Venkat, Bala Saravanan are memorable! Music by Sean Rolden is heart warming. Cinematography and other technical departments are tout and solid. The movie is a full package of fun, emotion, drama, sports, and politics of caste. Also, the movie rubs the second half curse of Kollywood movies. One of the best Tamil movie of 2024. Has no intimate scenes or double meaning jokes! Highly recommended to watch with your family!
