-Nanban-.

Directed by shankar.

Why him???

"intha padatha edukka Shankar thevaye illa 'Perarasu' ve podhum".

"""""""If you want to remake a film...

1st thing.., you must be highly inspired with the script(movie).

That inspiration will reflect in the excellence of making(remaking) that film.. i.e.

To show in much more exclusive & interesting than the Original""""""""".

The cast wasn't bad entirely...

>>Jiva outperformed his character...

And offcourse srikanth did't match up to MADDY bt he was also convincing!!

>>Sathyaraj failed or lost his character by imitating boman irani!

&.

>>VIJAY almost tried aamir's expressions in every scene & failed miserably!!

Not only him... Each and every body on screen just imitated the character portrayed in 3 idiots, not acted!! :).

>>See acting is a thing one delivers for a particular situation given but not copying others work just for the fact that it is a re-make!!

"""""""when I saw the original I never saw aamir khan....all I saw on screen was Rancho(the character).....in this all I saw was Vijay, vijay and more VIJAY (and don't even ask about the annoying close up for the 1st half).

What were they thinking casting a dim wit actor to play Chatur.....lame.....that guy cudn't even say the machine definition in one breath it took 5 minutes for him to finish it.

Shankar used DOLLY ZOOM thats right not for the emotional or life changing decision scenes but for a scene showing 'Silencer' shocked on hearing Vijay's monologue.....that one scene put me off entirely....Specially,,it was used entirely in order to highlight VIJAY speaking english!!""""""""".

-I entirely blame SHANKAR!!

Yes he failed!

And more importantly!!

Harris should be banned from Industry!!

He is just irritating...with his so called MUSIC.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~.

>>Comical Note<<.

At the climax..

Jiva and srikanth... could't believe that Vijay was the SCIENTIST..

Claiming.."enna da solra nee scinetist aah!?".. that scene was so.

Realistic as they themself could't believe VIJAY in a role of scientist!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~.

Glad I did't go to theatres!!!
