Absolutely. Even though you have watched 3 Idiots a hundred times, watching Nanban in Hindi (under the name Nanban: The Friend or Teen Dost ) offers a unique experience. The chemistry of the Tamil cast, especially Vijay's energetic portrayal of Pancho, brings a different flavor to the iconic character of Rancho.
