Nanban (2012)

Nanban is a Tamil comedy drama movie released on 2012 directed by Shankar, and is a remake of 3 idiots, a Hindi movie. The movie tells the story of three friends and the achievements they gained in their afterlife owing to one of their extraordinary friend. 

The movie begins on two friends Sevarkodi Senthil (Jeeva) and Venkat Ramakrishnan (Sreekanth) setting out in search of their long lost friend Pari (Vijay). Srivatsan, a nerd college mate accompanies them in the journey and movie shows intermittent flashbacks in which Pari was a bright, free-spirited student who convinces his friends senthil and venkat to follow their heart and tackle challenges positively reciting his manta – All is well. 

Pari wants to modify the whole education system and frequently came to conflict with Prfodessor Virumandi Santhanam who is comically called as Virus by students. Virus uses to say ‘Life is a race – run, run, run’. Pari fell in love with Virus’s daughter Riya and movie is about his journey. 

                                     

The movie was shown at the Melbourne Indian Film Festival during 2012. Nanban brings into notice the necessary of studying by understanding, in spite of going for meaningless mugging. This is a must-watch movie if you are a parent with dreams about your children.
