Storyline:
Two buddies Venkatramakrishnan and Sevalkodi Senthil set out in search
of their long lost friend Panchavan Parivendan aka Pari. They have a
nerd Srivatsan for company and through intermittent flashbacks we are
told that Pari, a bright, yet free-spirited student, who through his
charisma is able to convince his two friends to think for themselves,
follow their heart and take challenges with a positive attitude chanting
his mantra: all is well. Pari wants to change the education system and
often lock horns with Professor Virumandi Santhanam the Principal whose
says: "Life is a race - Run Run Run". He wins the heart of Virumandi's
daughter Riya and the film is about his journey.
Review:
Many eyebrows were raised when it was announced that the Hindi blockbuster 3 Idiots would be remade in Tamil with Shankar as the director.
Remakes are always tricky, and if the lead actor is a big star, matters get complicated. However, it appears that with Gemini Film Circuit's Nanban (Friend), both Shankar and Ilaya Thalapathi Vijay have pulled it off.
For starters, there are no starry airs in the title credits, which is a welcome variation. The hero appears a good fifteen minutes into the film and, even better, there are no fights. Panchavan Paarivendan or Paari (Vijay), a first year engineering student in Ideal Engineering College, seems to be a bit of a rebel when it comes to learning and doesn't take his classes seriously. But it's the system he's against, not education itself.

Satyan's turn as the Silencer brings plenty of laughs, especially with his speech on Teacher's Day.
his performance is at his best.
but the thanks goes to 3idiots team as the shankar itself had said so
Verdict:
If you want to Celebrate this pongal in a pleasant manner with friends
and family then Nanban is the perfect choice. It has all the ingredients
of a Shankar’s film, with a huge star cast like Vijay, Jeeva, Srikanth,
Ileana, Sathyaraj, Sathyan. Nanban is sure to entertain your family and
friends
