  • Nanban (transl. Friend) is a 2012 Indian Tamil-language coming-of-age comedy drama film directed by Shankar. It is a remake of Rajkumar Hirani's Hindi film 3 Idiots (2009). The film stars Vijay, Jiiva, Srikanth, Ileana D'Cruz, Sathyaraj and Sathyan. The film's soundtrack and background score were composed by Harris Jayaraj and cinematography was handled by Manoj Paramahamsa. The film was produced by Gemini Film Circuit. The plot of the film illustrates the embarkment of two friends on a quest for a lost buddy, who was once an optimistic and successful student. On their journey, they recount their college life and special moments that the three shared up until their lost friend secretly parted ways after convocation. During their quest, the two encounter a rival classmate who once made a long-forgotten bet with them, a funeral that goes impossibly out of control, and a wedding they must crash. A lengthy and controversial delay in casting delayed filming by a year. Filming took place for a total of eight months in various locations in Europe and India. The film was released on 12 January 2012 to generally positive reviews. The film was also screened at the Melbourne Film Festival. Indian Express reported the film grossed ₹150 crore at the box office. (en)
  • Nanban est un film indien de Kollywood réalisé par S. Shankar sorti en 2012. Il narre l'histoire de trois amis, étudiants, interprétés par la star tamoule Vijay, et , en proie à la rigueur, qui règne dans leur université. Nanban est l'adaptation tamoule de 3 Idiots, un film hindi réalisé par Rajkumar Hirani, sorti en 2009, d'après le roman de , Five Point Someone (2004). Le sujet du film pointe, critique les faiblesses du système éducatif indien. Un système qui prône d'abord, le "tout apprendre par cœur" à la place du "comprendre avant tout". (fr)

  • "When I was shooting for Endhiran [..] I wanted to see an action film but I ended up watching a comedy. My mind was not on the film but I saw the audience continuously laughing. I got involved in the film and I felt so good at the end of it. It was a wonderful feeling and I thought our Tamil audience must also experience this. However, Nanban is not a literal translation of 3 idiots. The movie had to be fresh and yet retain its soul. I wanted to bring it as close as possible to the Tamil audience by making it earthy and simple". (en)
