Plot:

The movie starts in a hostel premises, where the seniors rag the juniors. Senthil (jeeva) and Venkat Ramakrishnan (Srikanth) are brutally ragged by the seniors. At that time, (Ilaya Thalapathi Vijay) Panjavan Pari Velan enters the scene and escapes from the scene in a clever fashion. After this incident, the three becomes close friends.Vijay is shortly called as Pari.
The college principal is the strict professor Dr.Virumaandi Sandhanam(Sathyaraj). Nicked by students as ‘Virus’. Sathyaraj wants to maintain strict discipline by all means. But Vijay is cool guy, and does not take anything serious in life. And he has his cool tag ‘All is Well’. And says it to everyone and tackle the problem cool.
On the Other side, the geeky bookworm Srivatsan(Sathyan) who is mocked as ‘Silencer’, in the effort of being smart before Virus, always puts down the three friends.
In the backdrop, the families of Jeeva and Srikanth are portrayed. Jeeva is pious and innocent, who loves to have fun, but focuses on study because of family poverty. Venkat has a passion for wildlife photography, but for parents compulsion he studies engineering.
In a funny scene, Pari meets Anariya(Illeana) a medical student, and they become friends, later he comes to know that Anariya is Virus’s daughter and she is engaged to a rich guy. Then later, Illeana and Vijay fall in love.
All get graduated from college, and suddenly Vijay goes missing. How the others find him, Where was Vijay, Did Vijay and Illeana get married? That is the rest of the movie.

Performance
It is great to see Vijay without Mass openings and loud punch dialogues. Vijay has proven himself as a matured actor in the movie. Supporting Vijay, Jeeva and Srikanth have also given their best shot. We can see Shankar’s Direction in every frame. After Kaavalan, Nanban cleary exhibits Vijay’s character oriented acting. And this change is very much appreciative.
Illeana is a pleasant surprise, She can act, dance and she is hot. Surely this movie will mark her presence in Kollywood. Anuya and S J Surya, eventhough their roles are cameo, they have given out their best.
Sathyaraj and Sathyan, the Kovai brothers will surely sweep you off your feet with their acting skills. They are the pillars of the movie, and they have given out extraordinary acting.

Director Shankar, takes yet another leap in his career. His efforts is very evident, and the movie is longer than the Hindi version, the extras Shankar added were sweet and making it better. Harris Jeyaraj’s Music makes you glued to the screen. And takes you feel the character.
As usual, Shankar has done the songs in a great way, it will be surely a visual treat for the audience. Manoj Paramahansa’s Cinematography and T Muthuraj’s Art Direction have made the scenes more real.

Verdict:
Nanban is a family entertainer with a nice message. It is not only for Vijay fans, but for all the Tamil audience. And it is definitely better than the Original version.
