Story of Lubber Pandhu:
Anbu (played by Harish Kalyan) is a talented bowler who does not have a permanent team, instead he plays as a guest for various teams. On the other hand, there is Gethu, also known as Poomalai (portrayed by Dinesh from Atak), a seasoned batsman who continues to play cricket, much to the chagrin of his wife Ashodhai (Savika). They marry inter-caste and have a daughter named Durga (Sanjana). As fate would have it, Ambu and Gethu fall into conflict, the film tells the story of rivalry, sportsmanship and social challenges in a simple and attractively beautiful way.
