I liked it. Performances are great. It was very nice to see Vijay in such a different role. Is this the 1st Vijay film without an action sequence ? I really can't remember any other. Only after watching nanban I've realized how hard it is to write dialogs for a remade film and when dialogs are so important unlike other remade films like ghilli, siruthai and all. There is nothing much to complain except for the look of the film which really wasn't as great as the original. I know how big"bollywood" is, compared to the tamil industry but if it was someone else other than Shankar I wouldn't have mentioned this. And I would have loved it better if Vijay had tried doing role the being himself rather than playing a role played by Aamir . The Ghillli Vijay in his house is what was required fully in this movie except for the fact that here he is a genius. If you haven't watched 3Idiots there is no way you can spot even a single fault, you'll fall in love with this film.More than I can appreciate Nanban or even 3 Idiots as a film, the script is the winner. This is what films were invented for. This relaxation I haven't found in a film in a very longtime. Great writing!
