Gubeer (transl. Cheers) is a 2014 Tamil-language black comedy film, written and directed by Thilipkumar Rajendren and produced by Archer Cinemas. The plot focuses on the experiences of several men looking for a weekend of entertainment. The movie was originally released exclusively in Tamil Nadu. At the film's debut, it received a positive critical response, with particular praise for its novel structure and narrative.

Plot

[edit]

This is the story of a group of people looking to 'paint the town red'; conveying their thoughts over a 24-hour period; all recounted with (apparent) arbitrariness. While it features slapstick, it makes some serious points.

Cast

[edit]

The film crew of the movie consists of 5 friends, who worked for the same IT company. After resigning, these youngsters joined together for a film venture and starred in this movie.

The cast includes White, Tamil, Ravi and Prathap. Prabhu acts as the owner. Along with them, a pet dog by the name Bower is present.[2]

Critical reception

[edit]

The film received critical acclaim. Karthi of Dinamalar[4] wrote, "A Royal salute to Gubeer Team. All lead actors were good. Overall, Gubeer is upset to commercial film makers in Kollywood. Inspiring and interesting to people who love cult films." Malini Mannath of The New Indian Express[5] wrote, "Creative, bold and experimental, Gubeer is worth a watch".

Jigarthanda Director Karthik Subbaraj[6] strongly recommended Gubeer as "It is an indie, experimental film which is gutsy, bold & filled with fun".
