Lubber Pandhu

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.

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.

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.
