Nanban (vijay) Tamil Film review

Release date: 13 January 2012
Running time: 188 mins
Director: S. Shankar
Starring: Vijay, Jeeva, Srikanth, Ileana D'Cruz, Sathyan,
Sathyaraj

Vijay leads an all-star cast in this Tamil remake of the Bollywood comedy
blockbuster '3 Idiots'.

Venkatramakrishnan (Srikanth), Sevalkodi Senthil (Jeeva) and Panchavan
Parivendan (Vijay) are a trio of engineering students who share a room.
Venkatramakrishnan is studying not because engineering is his vocation, but to
appease his father. Sevalkodi Senthil wants to get his family out of poverty.
Panchavan Parivendan has a genuine passion for the subject and considerable
skill at problem solving.

Unfortunately, this brings him into conflict with the pompous dean, Virumandi Santhanam, aka Virus (Sathyaraj). Matters are further complicated when he falls for Virus's daughter, Riya (Ileana D'Cruz). Adapted from Chetan Bhagrat's bestseller 'Five Point Someone' and told in the form of a series of flashbacks from the present day, '3 Idiots' was a Bollywood box office
record-breaker back in 2009. This Tamil remake from the director of 'Enthiran'
recaptures its magic for a new audience with an impressive ensemble cast.

Screenplay: S. Shankar, Madhan Karky
You should see it because: This is big-hearted, hugely
enjoyable fun with a great cast and a proven track record.
