I'd heard good things about "Lubber Pandhu" (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt27007466) but since it's a cricket movie, I wasn't sure if it was going to be just a sports movie or something else. The beginning seemed to indicate that it was going to be more than "just" a sports movie 🙂
One thing I loved about the movie was the little bits of old Tamil songs that they play every often through the movie. The selections were super!
And the other thing was the humour running through the movie — not the usual slapstick comedy track which doesn't always work, but genuine moments of humour.
And the slow build up to the confrontation between the two players is really enjoyable. On one hand, you keep waiting for the confrontation, and on the other, you keep watching it build up and laugh at the little tiny events that are made so huge due to ego conflicts.
Once things erupt, the tug-of-war between ego and love is just so very beautifully depicted. The whole experience is so totally engrossing. Basically, I feel that the movie played on so many levels and it was excellent in all those levels.
With this movie and with "Meiyazhagan" it almost feels as if we are back to the heyday of Tamil movies when they actually were worth watching and were all not about shedding blood by the buckets and beating up baddies. Will the trend continue? I'd be be interested to see how this goes ...
