The movie based on the local cricket matches, shows the character arcs of the lead characters Gethu and Anbu, played by Attakathi Dinesh and Harish Kalyan as they are entangled in these matches.
The story mainly revolves around the ego clash between these two characters and how the women played by Swasika and Sanjana Krishnamoorthy handle the situation.
Along with Tamil, the sports drama will also be available in Telugu, Hindi, Malayalam, and Kannada languages from the said date.
While the film had a small release, it soon garnered popularity with word of mouth. According to reports, the film collected over ₹40 crore, and was inching towards ₹50 crore.
Due to this, the OTT release of Lubber Pandhu was postponed. The film was initially slated to release on 18 October but was postponed to 31 October.
Since Lubber Pandhu is still performing exceptionally well in theaters, we are postponing its streaming release. The new streaming date will be announced later on our social media handles.
