Nanban- Tamil Movie review

This one was an expected one eventhough its a remake. The reason was firstly its the remake of a wonderful orginal(3 Idiots) and secondly the remaking director was the best in India itself.These two things made this one more expected than a Vijay movie which is coming after a well outing of Velayudham.Anyway I was eager to watch it out eventhough I have watched 3 Idiots 2 or 3 times. So I booked the tickets at AGS Multiplex complex in Chennai for a morning 8 am show and reached there in time but unfortunately they told me show has been rescheduled to 8 45 but that was not an issue at all because there were lot of beautiful girls all around which will keep my eyes busy for another 45 minutes :) .....Then I entered into the theater after a long roaming around :P ....and the movie started

Nanban - A Remade Success



Before watching this movie I have made my mind to forget the 3 idiots and watch this one with a fresh mind.I was used to this stuff from my earlier days of movie watching.Ok...so the movie started...after some 5 minutes,the title song came up "En friendeee poleeyaru machaaa".........Harris Jayaraj scored here...nice tune in par with the song in orginal in the same situation....then movie unfolds and goes onnn,.......As usual no story lines in my review....movie as a whole stands out eventhough people might say its a scene by scene remake...every character was so aptly selected and made a wonderful acting especially I would mention Satyaraj and Chathur's character(sorry I dont know the name)....Satyaraj character showed a range of emotions while Boman Irany used to have a sense of same emoticon all over.....and the Chathur's character was well done and no comparisons in both versions.Jeeva and Srikanth has also done well but Srikanth failed to impress as Madhavan did in original....many a times his acting didnt came up with the situation but still its not bad and its good bt not the best...Jiva has done a wonderful role as usual playing the character very well....Then S J Sooryah added more life to the character than Javed in the original....Sooryah's normal face expression actually suits to the character...Then comes the big comparison VIJAY vs AMIR .....We know abt Mr Perfectionist and how easily and I would say how wonderfully Amir Khan carried out the role in original....What I felt is that Vijay also has scored very well and made an acting in par with Amir in the original but slipped out in places like in climax....Vijay was into the character and made a wonderful delivery of message the movie was intended to deliver...I m not saying vijay is a better actor than amir but in this movie he made in par with amir and he can be proud of .....and then comes ILENA vs KAREENA......Eventhough I felt Kareena has more screenspace or screenfelt Ilena was looking amazingly beautiful.....What a beauty yar...Kareena is long behind her in this and a belly dance from Ilena makes her again on top of Kareena . The only thing bad about Ilena is the dubbing part which is like a  non tamil girl...Rest all Ilena scores


About the technical aspects of the movie.....Shankar direction stands on top of Raju Hirani's I would say the wonderful picturisation of songs and some camera sequences made me to think so. Songs are visual treats....In Orginal I felt Zobbie Dobbie is so flat backgrounded but Shankar has scored all on that.The camera work also scores in Tamil and same with editing...The very big let down of the tamil version is the music except "En Friend pole" no songs will stand on ur mind but in original all songs will stand in your mind even after you leave the cinema hall.....Overall a movie in par with the original

My rating is 8/10......Watch it even if u watched the orginal
