Some films don’t need posh visuals or modern appeal, and they can still provide an engaging and emotional experience. Such a rooted drama about male ego is currently streaming on Disney Plus Hotstar.
The Tamil film Lubber Pandhu, available in Telugu dub, makes for a great family watch this weekend.
Lubber Pandhu features a rooted story that brilliantly utilizes cricket to explore male ego.
The best part is that the cricket scenes are shot well, adding to the engagement factor, and the relationships and conflicts are explored nicely, even though they feel familiar.
Harish Kalyan plays the role of the young boy; although he doesn’t appeal much in the beginning, he connects well over time. Attakathi Dinesh is the real show-stealer. Lubber Pandhu is directed by Tamizharasan Pachamuthu.
The film never tries to deviate from its lower middle-class backdrop, and the honesty in its writing and direction makes it a clean family watch.
If you are looking for a clean film that has a bit of an emotional touch and is engaging at the same time, without the typical cinematic mass tropes, Lubber Pandhu is the title you should be streaming.
