Lubber Pandhu

Best come back movie for "Attakathi dinesh" and karish Kalyan acting gives additional impact to the movie, comedy scene works well, background musics especially that vijakanth songs takes the scenes to the next level, script, casts, screen play gives additional spices to the movie, while I am seeing the movie some of my old memories comes to my mind gives me real feelings emotions every scenes makes sincere effort, overall the movie makes tight bonds for the village cricketers and all the cricket fans mainly the direction makes new way of story line and there is no boring scenes, both actress gives the wonderful output.

Lubber Pandhu (Transl. Rubber Ball) is a drama about egos set against a backdrop of cricket in a villaga in tamilnadu. The story revolves around Anbu and Poomalai aka Gethu, played brilliantly by Harish Kalyan and Attakathi Dinesh respectively, and their egos of never losing a cricket game and all the complexities this behavior brings with it. I was never really a fan of Dinesh's acting, but he was a surprise package in this movie. More than these two, the female leads Swasika and Sanjana Krishnamutrhy stole the show with their presence.

The film deals with a lot of human emotions, caste based discrimination without being overly melodramatic or preachy. It is these kinds of movies that remind you that despite having big action set pieces in big budget pan India movies, it is human emotions that matter in a story. This movie offers plenty of those moments. Be it a relationship between two teenagers who are in love, a wife and a husband, a mother and a son, a mother-in-law and a daughter-in-law, or a pet and its owner. These subtle emotions are visualized beautifully.

This is a sports drama, and the editing and cinematography hit it out of the park to draw us in when the characters are playing cricket. You won't get the same goosebumps inducing feeling you get when watching Lagaan, but instead the sport is staged to bring you closer to the characters. One thing I wished they spent a bit more time on was the sound design, especially during the cricket games. The production design is just right.

I recommend watching this movie if you want a nice departure from the high-octane action thrillers that have been fed us in the recent past. You won't be disappointed.

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..

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.
