Sports, spice, and everything nice perfectly come together in this riveting family drama

alent can come from anywhere, and you can�t stop it from bursting out through closed doors, veiled grounds, or tall walls. Talent will find a way, just like how Tamizharasan has found a way to enter mainstream cinema and tell a story that he truly believed in. Lubber Pandhu is the result of honesty, brilliance, and cheekiness, and is testament to the ideology that love will trample every difference that comes its way. It will take time� probably more than the time it took for the price of a rubber ball to go up from Rs 15 to Rs 35, but it will happen. It has to. (more)

This sports-drama bowls you over with all-round excellence

. Now and then, the film registers the idea that Anbu is a �virundhaali player�, rejected by his environment and left to play for those he feels no attachment for. And yet, the film is quite careful not to make this issue the centrepiece, not to make an activist out of Anbu. It tries to quietly get its message across, keen not to vilify or alienate anyone. That�s why even that cricketer Venkatesh, who might be perceived as a villain figure, gets away with an easy handshake. Director Tamizharasan seems to be saying that sometimes, for profound problems, the solutions needn�t be so complex. Sometimes, all it takes is for an affectionate person to put their ego aside and say, �Sorry.� Sometimes, all it takes for a healthy society is for Anbu to prevail over Gethu.(more)
