Must watch for all
With sky high expectations to replicate '3 Idiots' success without deviating too much from the original while keeping the content fresh is a tight-rope walk for any director. Congratulations to Shankar, Vijay and rest of the team for successfully delivering big time on the promise. (more)

Nanban is entertaining
On the whole, Nanban easily ranks amongst Vijay and Shankar's finest films. It's emotional, it's entertaining, it's enlightening. The film has tremendous youth appeal and feel-good factor to work in a big way. (more)

Same tale with three new idiots
Plainly put, Nanban will not break any records. It takes too many leaves from the 3 Idiots book. It may a make a lot of money, but it will be forgotten. Verdict - Laugh and forget.(more)

Nanban is Good!!!
Nanban is Rajkumar Hirani's 3 idiots staged and presented by Shankar in a different language with grandeur. The base material is solid and Shankar obediently traces it. Out comes an uplifting entertainer that will draw raves from viewers of all kinds.(more)

Nanban several notches below 3 Idiots.
Nanban disappoints even in performances: while Vijay is no patch on Aamir Khan (who plays the rebel who becomes a scientist in the original), Ileana D’Cruz who plays Vijay’s screen lover, the part Kareena Kapoor did in Hindi, and Srikanth stepping in for Madhavan are unimpressive. Which leaves Nanban several notches below 3 Idiots. (more)
