Lubber Pandhu

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..

RATED 10/10 Language: Tamil Source: Nil HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

The best rural sports genre movie, filled with WOW moments everywhere. The director marked his victory, when we get goosebumps for Attakatthi Dinesh. Highly entertaining sports drama with very good social message without any preaching tone.

The background songs, Vijayakanth are used for mass moments. Without any punch dialogs, without mass hero, the movie has fantastic mass moments in the second half.

The dialogs are nicely written and all the actors did their job very well. The one liner, sentiment, love sequences are perfectly gelled with Cricket.

The best part is that the comedy layer in all sad/joy moments make the audience laugh from beginning to end. After long time, I enjoyed the perfect entertainer by forgetting the real world around me.

I would highly recommending this movie to anyone.

Worth the watch.

Lubber Pandhu is an outstanding sports drama, one of the best in recent times. It explores themes ranging from our country's cricket fanaticism to inter-community love and marriage, discrimination in sports, and ego. The lead characters' ego clash appears to draw inspiration from Ayyapanum Koshiyum and Harish Kalyan's previous film, Parking. The casting, characterization, and cricket scenes are all executed splendidly. The writing is excellent, managing to convey multiple themes within a simple story. All the actors, including the supporting cast, deliver top-notch performances. The music and score complement the film beautifully. The ending effectively encapsulates the writer and director Tamizharasan Pachamuthu's intent in choosing this subject. Overall, it's a great film from a debutant writer-director.

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!

The film sounds like a mix of sports and drama with a strong focus on its main characters, Gethu and Anbu, who share a passion for cricket. It's interesting to see how the movie uses cricket as a medium to build the intense drama and emotions that keep the story engaging, even though the cricketing shots themselves could have been better executed.

The love story, while feeling somewhat forced, seems to add depth to Anbu and Gethu's relationship, making their bond stronger and more relatable. This approach, though common, can be effective in connecting the audience emotionally with the characters. The film's "entertainment spices" probably make it enjoyable despite some technical shortcomings in the sports scenes.

Overall, Lubber Pandhu is an engaging watch with a good balance of emotions, character depth, and entertainment value, making up for its minor flaws. It seems like the movie succeeds in delivering a memorable viewing experience.
