Story:

'Nanban' is a story of 3 Engineering students who comes from different backgrounds with different goal in their lives. Panchavan Parivendan (Vijay), Sevalkodi Senthil (Jiiva) and Venkatramakrishnan (Srikanth) are the three friends who shares the room in a hostel. Senthil studies to raise his family's fortunes and get them out of poverty. Venkatramakrishnan studies engineering to pursue his father's wishes. But Parivendan studies for his simple passion in machines and devices. He wants to see studies that should be useful to our lives and doesn't believe in memorizing subjects like what Srivatsan aka Silencer (Satyan), who is the darling of professor Santhanam (Sathyaraj). But Professor don't like Parivendan. Meanwhile Srivatsan makes a open challenge to 3 friends saying that he will be in top position after 10 years. Parivendan loves professor's daughter Riya (Ileana), a medical college student.

How Parivendan impresses professor. How he changes the attitude of his friends towards their passion and studies. Who is Parivendan where he goes after the course completion? Who will be in top position after 10 years? Will Srivatsan stands in first position? All the answers to these questions will be interesting if we watch them on big screens.

Performances:

Vijay is apt in the role. He looked young as a engineering student. The roles of Jiiva and Srikanth do have equal preference to Vijay's role. When compared with previous films Srikanth and Jiiva looked younger in this film.

One of the show stellar is Satyaraj who acted as Professor Virumandi Santhanam. The performance of Satyaraj is excellent. His body language and physical personalities best suits the role. Satyan as silencer did his career best. He is the main comedian in the movie.

Ileana is cute and attractive. She is ape at her role. She is good at acting and dance movements . S J Suryah played a guest role in the movie which will bring twist in the story.

Analysis:

Even though Nanban is official remake of 3 Idiots, Shankar made few changes to match Tamil audience taste. The characterisations of all major roles is almost similar to original version. It seems Shankar didn't want to spoil the characterisations of roles by adding flavours.

Manoj Paramahamsa's camera is excellent. Music and background scores are another highlights in the movie. Movie is made with rich technical values like Shankar's previous films.

The movie has all the commercial elements along with a beautiful message. The way the message was convinced is excellent. The comedy scenes between Silencer and Vijay is excellent. Especially, the comedy scene by Satyan on stage brings continuous laughs. The classroom scenes are another highlight in the movie. Each classroom scene is different from other and it brings laughs.

Finally:

Given messages is not new to Shankar, but for in terms of Vijay Nanban will be best comedy and message oriented film in Vijay's carrer. Finally, Nanban is must watch film for all types of audiences.
