'''''Gubeer''''' ({{translation}} ''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==
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==
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.<ref>{{cite web|title=Gubeer Review|url=http://www.tamilstar.com/moviereview-id-gubeer-thilip--ravi--white-review261.htm|publisher=www.tamilstar.com|accessdate=10 May 2015}}</ref>
