VIJAY - ILEANA LIP LOCK IN NANBAN SURPRISES FANS

Vijay and Ileana D'Cruz's passionate lip lock in Nanban has become the talk of the town. The audience, who were not aware of the kissing scene, were surprised to see the Kaavalan star sharing the smooch in the recently released Tamil movie.

While Aamir Khan and Kareena Kapoor shared as many as three lip-locks in 3 Idiots, the original version of Nanban, in the Tamil film, Vijay-Ileana have featured in one kissing sequence. Director Shankar has kept it as a surprising element in the climax of the Kollywood movie. However, it lasts for 50 seconds. As a result, their chemistry have worked big time in the movie.

This is probably for the second time Vijay has done the kissing scene. The 37-year-old shared his first on-screen smooch with Jyothika in blockbuster movie Khushi.

However, Nanban directed by Shankar also stars Jeeva, Srikanth, and Sathyraraj in the important roles. The movie released on January 12 is doing good business at the Tamil Box Office.

WHAT'S WORKING FOR SHANKAR'S NANBAN

Shankar's Nanban has driven the audience crazy. The Tamil version of Bollywood blockbuster 3 Idiots has taken Vijay's fans by storm thereby running into packed theaters all across Tamil Nadu. Thanks to the wonderful content, which is pulling the audience from all age groups.

Traders claim that Nanban has all the ingredients, which the audience love to watch on-screen. The only factor missing in the movie is action-sequence part. However, the audience seems to have not bothered about it and they love the Tamil film as it is.

An excited fan named Algated on our review expressed his view on Nanban. He wrote, “Kudos to Shankar for three reasons. First, coming forward to make a remake film breaking his macho image. Second, his eagerness to see the movie with good messages reach Tamil audiences. Third, by bringing up a combination of multiple heros in single movies, setting up a new trend in Tamil movies.”

Nanban mainly works for the lively subject. Though, it looked like the movie would only attract urbanites and youths, it managed to pull the mass and the family audience to theatres. Another fan named Raja says that the movie is a complete entertainer.

He writes, “Nanban is a fun ride. The movie is a complete package of entertainment. Good comedies, songs, and message make the movie worth a watch. It may be frame-to-frame copy from 3 Idiots but Shankar has ensured to add Tamil essence in the movie.”

Shankar directorial movie also stars Ileana D'Cruz, Jeeva, Srikanth and Sathyaraj in the important roles.

NANBAN CELEBRATING FRIENDSHIP

Gutsy is the epithet that comes to mind when you think of director Shankar. And the best part is his experiments pay off. Like Nanban (U) has. Taking up a blockbuster of all time for a remake, that too within a couple of years of its release, and having Vijay, an action hero, replicate a performance-backed role with not a single stunt sequence, are bold decisions. But the result is an enjoyable cocktail of humour with some sentiment and sadness thrown in for that extra appeal.

In a career spanning almost a couple of decades, Vijay has changed tack probably half a dozen times. You're glad he's done it again. The hero wins with grey matter, not muscle power. No intro song, no high altitude action gimmicks — welcome Nanban Vijay with open arms! It is a compliment to him that he doesn't remind you of Aamir Khan in Three Idiots — it's an original, underplayed, effective essay. Way to go Vijay!

Predominantly a campus story that goes back and forth in time, Nanban celebrates friendship in a way that will remain with you for long. Nanban is a story of three friends at a prestigious engineering college — one supposedly wealthy, the other middle-class and the third below poverty line. With Vijay as the pivot, the story takes off from the present (a decade after their graduation), goes back to their college days of caring and sharing, traumas and challenges, and again lands in the present to joyously proclaim ‘Aal eez vell'!

Not just Vijay, even the choice of Srikanth (similar to Madhavan's in TI) is a surprise. So are his expressions and voice modulation that have improved by leaps and bounds. Srikanth has worked hard on the college boy look and it has reaped dividends. As for Jiiva, you give him characters with scope and he delivers. Both Srikanth and Jiiva get opportunities to prove their mettle, and they do. As for Ileana, it's her hourglass figure and perfect curves that catch your attention. Little else seems to matter! But you had her looking more youthful and ravishing in her Tamil debut Kaedi, some years ago — only that it sank without a trace. Her sister Anuya's cheerful laughter in front of the groom's party and her shocked father, as the bride runs away, is absolutely confounding! Did the director notice it at all?

Playing the qualified nincompoop is Sathyan. If as Chatur Ramalingam (as always in Hindi cinema the South Indian is a joker, you see!), Omi Vaidya irritated you, Sathyan as Srivatsan is no better. It's sad that though there's a lesson to be learnt from Srivatsan's attitude, the concentration is more on toilet comedy as far as this caricature is concerned. Surely Shankar could have done something about it. Satyaraj is the right choice and he proves it, but you cannot help comparing him with Boman Irani, who tweaked the character to evoke a smile in the initial sequences of TI. Is it S.J. Suryah in that miniscule part played by Javed Jaffrey in the original? But why?

Where did both Rajkumar Hirani and Shankar get those odd names for the heroes? Ranchodas Shamaldas Chanchad is Panchavan Paarivendhan in Tamil. Later the names get weirder — Phunsukh Wangdu in Hindi becomes Kosaksi Posapugazh here!

The scientific mind and linguistic skills keep Karky looking for innovations in lyrics too. ‘Aska Laska,' said to have 16 languages in it, is one such. Scintillatingly tuned (Harris Jeyaraj) and lavishly filmed, the sequence should be a sell-out! In fact, all of Harris' songs in Nanban are catchy.

Roping in Karky as co-dialogue writer is an intelligent move. The Anniyan duet had rows of lorries graffitied in striking hues, while in Nanban it is an entire train that's been painted bright! Art director Muthuraj could have thought better. Otherwise the grandeur of Shankar's sets is intact!

With more than three hours of running time, Nanban is a lengthy film. Yet, but for the second duet which appears redundant, the screenplay sails smoothly.

Once again Shankar proves the master craftsman that he is. And for the Nanban team, it's a year well-begun!

NANBAN GETS EXEMPTION FROM ENTERTAINMENT TAX

Shankar-directed Nanban, to be released as Snehithudu in Telugu later this month, has been exempted from paying the mandatory entertainment tax by the Government of Tamil Nadu. Why, you ask? For faithfully sticking to the Tamil culture, and, of course, for meeting the U-rating criterion.

'Nanban' that came with a clean 'U' and saw a big worldwide release just a couple of days back is the first film to be exempted from entertainment tax as per the new scheme by the AIADMK rule in TN.

The Tamil Nadu government has a 22 member panel with members from various fields within the film industry who recommend movies for this tax exemption, the key criteria being the film should have a 'U' certificate from the censor board and stick to Tamil culture.

'Nanban', a faithful remake of Bollywood blockbuster '3 Idiots' boasts off a huge star cast including Vijay, Jiiva, Srikanth, Ileana, Sathyaraj and Sathyan and has seen a big opening. And now that 'Nanban' is exempted from this 30% entertainment tax it is sure to increase the film's box-office collections!

NANBAN TAKES A GREAT OPENING

Shankar has hit the bull`s eye once again with Nanban, and has every reason to smile. The prints were taken for pooja to the temple in a chariot by Vijay fans and later the actor`s dad SA Chandrasekhar took part in the function. Later the entire Nanban team watched the first show at Sathyam Cinemas on Thursday morning.

It was fan frenzy, as traffic came to a standstill and everyone wanted to get a glimpse of Ilayathalapathy Vijay who hardly comes to a theatre for the first-day first-show of his film. His wife Sangeetha who also watched the film went up to her husband and hugged him.

Replying to questions by the media, Shankar praised the performance of his lead actors Vijay, Jiiva and Srikant and their dedication and co-operation in this multi-starrer. Looks like there maybe more reasons to smile for the talented director in days to come as the movie is sure to turn into a blockbuster as the film took a 100 percent opening worldwide.

3 - IDIOTS STAR PRAISES NANBAN

Sharman Joshi, who had acted in 3 Idiots, wished the Nanban team all success. The star said that he happened to watch the special screening of Nanban recently and was thoroughly pleased with the way director Shankar had handled the script. Sharman also had some good words for Vijay, Jiiva and Srikanth, who had acted in Nanban. It may be mentioned here that Nanban is a remake of the Hindi film 3 Idiots which is based on the novel Five Point Someone by Chetan Bhagat.
The film opened to packed houses this morning and movie buffs are eagerly awaiting the outcome of the reviews.

SRIKANTH SAYS VIJAY IS HARD WORKER

Srikanth, who plays one of the lead roles in Nanban, recalls his experiences working in the film and his co-star Vijay. The actor says that Vijay is basically a very quiet person but when it comes to facing the camera he transforms totally and fits into the skin of the character.
Srikanth adds that Vijay is a hard worker who did his homework perfectly well for every scene that was shot. His experience working with the mass hero was something that Srikanth will never forget.

NANBAN MOVIE REVIEW

Review by : KURUVI FANS CLUB

Starring: Vijay , Jiiva, Ileana, Sathyaraj, Srikanth
Direction: Shankar
Music: Harris Jeyaraj
Production: Gemini Film Circuit

The official remake of the blockbuster Three Idiots is here! We wondered, when lesser blockbusters were being remade, why this cracker of a story was not finding its way down south. But, all good things take some time in the making and it is somehow fitting that a tale loved by most part of the nation, first in the form of Chetan Bhagath’s ‘Five Point Someone’ and then in the form of Rajkumar Hiran’s Three Idiots, is brought down south by Shankar, the man with the Midas touch.
Well, there are very few people who might not yet know the basic premise of the movie; thanks mostly to the overwhelming success of the book and the original movie. Its about three friends, the four years they spend in college with one of them trying to be a free bird in a system that clips wings, their run ins with a draconian educationist, a cute romance angle and a secret. Well, that’s a lot on the plate of a single movie, you might think. But, the script is one masterpiece, originally by Rajkumar Hirani and Vidhu Vinodh Chopra, as it brings together all these elements into a fun filled, hilarious, touching, meaningful and immensely entertaining three hours. You get everything that you would want to from a college movie; the camaraderie that you cherish forever, the pressure of academics, marks, the fun and even the geeks and nerds. Nanban is not a full length comedy, but there are numerous instances which will make your belly ache with laughter (the ‘karpazhippu’ scene is an absolute scream); neither is Nanban a love story, but it does have a very likeable romance; Nanban is also not a social statement, but it does point out some gaping holes in the educational system. Well then, what is Nanban? Well, it is a complete package for those who love good, clean, sensible entertainment (that means all of us!).
Nanban marks the return of Shankar to a youth oriented film after Boys, that was eight years back. It also marks the return of Vijay to a completely youth centric college goer role. And boy, haven’t they gone all out to make it a success. We don’t see Vijay in the movie, it is only Panchavan Parivendhar! He has given himself completely to the role, surrendering to the demands of the script. For an actor who has played the ‘carefree guy who loathes books’ stereotype almost all his career, this is one role that offers a diametric opposite. Vijay takes it on and proves his versatility. The years have not dimmed his boyish charm and energy, you don’t doubt for a second whether he is a college student; an almost perfect performance. Jiiva brings in his own charms to the movie, as the God fearing guy who just wants to get through college and start earning but is far too apprehensive and distracted. We have seen his comic timing before; he uses it beautifully here too, and scores with the sentiments as well. You just have to watch him start the ‘induction motor’! Srikanth, the dark horse! Well, he holds up well with the more seasoned performers and when he gets a chance, he proves his mettle in the quite emotional scene with his father. A very well balanced act!
What can we say about Ileana? Where was she for almost 5 years after Kedi? Never mind, because she is back with a bang. A very impressive performance which uses glamour only as an embellishment, not main item itself. She shows no difficulty with Tamil, displays quite a crackling chemistry with Vijay, emotes well and dances with élan. We could see more of her in Tamil cinema very soon. But, the big surprise packet of the whole affair is none other than Sathyaraj. As the hard nosed principal of an engineering college who wants to treat everyone as a machine, he excels and proves that class and experience is a combination that cannot be bogged down for long. His dialogue delivery is absolutely spot on. Sathyan gets a huge opportunity and doesn’t let it go as he makes the nerdy ‘Silencer’ memorable in Tamil too; he carries off the utterly important ‘karpazhippu’ scene perfectly. Hope he gets more fitting opportunities in the future. S.J.Suryah’s cameo is also good.
The best thing about Nanban is its casting! Shankar has put in a lot of thought and roped in just the right actors for each and every role. Even the smallest of characters seem to have been hand picked, the results show. Dialogues by Shankar and Madhan Karky are sharp, witty, funny and meaningful as different occasions demand. They have imported the meaning of the original Hindi lines without making the Tamil look artificial, a very deft job. Harris Jeyaraj brings in his musical touch, we enjoy ‘Asku Laska’. Manoj Paramahamsa makes every frame pleasing on the eye, the work in ‘Asku Laska’ is particularly good.
You really have to be a hard nosed person to find faults with this movie, much like Sathyaraj’s character. But, one could say that the crash course in child delivery atop a TT table is a bit difficult to believe! And, one also cannot understand a student of an engineering college in Tamil Nadu wearing a very north Indian sherwani for his college speech. Also, why is Virumandi Santhanam’s daughter’s marriage looking so much like a north Indian affair with turbans and all? Perhaps Shankar could have changed these from Three Idiots. But, again, these are minute flaws in an otherwise top class product.
Nanban has got more than something for everyone. It is very unlikely that a person finds such a wholesome package unsatisfying. Yes, Vijay does not show any heroism; he gives it all up for the integrity of the script. But, fans, don’t be disheartened, because what you get it lieu more than makes up for it. The only way you can detract from the achievement of this team is through the fact that the movie almost looks like a frame by frame remake of Three Idiots, especially in the first half. Do we need a creative genius like Shankar to give us a frame by frame remake? We see his signature only in the song picturisation. But, look at it this way. The original was so good that even a genius like Shankar hardly felt like making any changes. So, lets applaud Shankar for trusting the original and resisting the temptations to give his own touches. Also, let us not forget to applaud the makers of the original, Rajkumar Hirani and Vidhu Vinodh Chopra, for building a script that would work anywhere in India. If you haven’t seen Three Idiots, Nanban will be an absolutely joyful experience. And if you have seen it, still go for Nanban and relive the magic; it’s worth it.
Verdict: All is absolutely well!

THEATRES SCREENING NANBAN WORE A FESTIVE LOOK

All theatres that screened Nanban wore a festive look today making movie buffs wonder if it was Pongal today! At the Udayam Theatre in Chennai, a large group of fans carried the Reel Box mounted in a chariot from the nearby temple to the theatre premises. As soon as the Reel Box arrived at the theatre, traditional classical music was played by a band arranged for the purpose and a special pooja was performed.
In an open van, an orchestra was seen signing the songs from Nanban, which was added attraction. SA Chandrashekar participated in this pooja and the Reel Box was finally handed over to the theatre owners for screening.

VIJAY FANS CELEBRATES 'NANBAN'

Vijay fans started making beeline to cinema halls screening 'Nanban' from wee hours of today, and performed the 'traditional rituals' by bursting crackers, doing 'paal abhishekam' and burning camphor to welcome their favourite star's movie.

The scene was almost the same at theatres in Chennai and in other parts of Tamil Nadu, as the film hits the screens amid huge expectations, since this is the first time for the Ilayathalapathy to join hands with Shankar.

Also, 'Nanban' follows the success of 'Velayudham', Vijay's Deepavali release, which is being claimed as one of the biggest hits of 2011. "I took leave from office today to watch Nanban first day first show," said Ramachandran Balasubramanyam, a techie.

Produced by Gemini Film Circuit, 'Nanban', a remake of Hindi hit '3 Idiots' has Jiiva and Srikanth as the other two leads. Music is by Harris Jayaraj, while Sathyaraj, Ileana D' Cruz, Sathyan and S J Suryah have played crucial roles.
