Lubber Pandhu on OTT: Where to stream this sports drama post-theatrical run

Lubber Pandhu, a sports drama written and directed by debutant Tamizharasan Pachamuthu, is fast becoming one of Tamil cinema's biggest sleeper hits of the year. Despite a modest opening, the film has struck a chord with audiences and gained momentum at the box office, thanks to strong word-of-mouth and positive reviews.

Released in Tamil Nadu amid the dominance of Thalapathy Vijay's The Greatest of All Time, Lubber Pandhu made a soft debut with first-day earnings below Rs 1 crore. However, the film saw a significant rise over the weekend, earning more than Rs 1.5 crore on Saturday and over Rs 2 crore on Sunday. With this upward trend, the film is expected to continue gaining traction in the coming days.

The film's successful theatrical run has raised questions about when it will make its streaming debut on Disney+ Hotstar. Historically, Tamil films acquired by the streaming giant have taken longer to appear online, with some films taking five to six weeks before becoming available. This delay contrasts with the industry trend, which saw many Tamil films transitioning to streaming platforms within four weeks during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. Given Lubber Pandhu's box office performance, it’s likely the film will follow a longer theatrical window before its digital release.

Starring Harish Kalyan and Attakathi Dinesh, Lubber Pandhu tells the story of two rival cricket teams set in a small town in Tamil Nadu. The film has resonated with both sports enthusiasts and general moviegoers alike, making it one of the year’s unexpected hits. Fans eagerly await its release on Disney+ Hotstar, though they may have to wait a bit longer as the film continues its successful run in theatres.
