Nanban

Nanban is a 2012 Indian Tamil-language coming-of-age comedy drama film directed by S. Shankar and produced by Gemini Film Circuit.

The film stars Vijay, Jiiva, Srikanth, Sathyaraj, Ileana D'Cruz, Sathyan and Anuya, with S. J. Suryah and Vijay Vasanth in cameo appearances.

The movie is a remake of the Rajkumar Hirani's 2009 Hindi-language film 3 Idiots, based on Chetan Bhagat's novel Five Point Someone.

The story follows Venkat, Senthil and Srivatsan as they search for their long lost friend Panchavan Parivendhan, a bright and free-spirited student who wants to change the education system.

Through intermittent flashbacks, we learn that Pari, played by Vijay, wins the heart of Virumandi's daughter Riya and embarks on a journey.
