Eega
Tags: revenge, murder

Plot synopsis:
A young girl who is unable to sleep asks her father to tell her a bedtime story. Although reluctant at first, he tells her a story of a fly named Nani.
Nani is a young man who specialises in preparing fireworks. He is in love with his neighbour Bindu, a micro artist who runs Project 511, a non-governmental organisation (NGO). Bindu also develops feelings for Nani though she does not express them. Seeking to raise money for her NGO, Bindu visits the office of a rich, powerful industrialist named Sudeep, who also finds her attractive. He befriends her, donates ₹1.5 million, and gains her trust. Sudeep sees Nani as a rival and plans to kill him. One night, Nani helps Bindu to finish a piece of micro art—a locket made from a pencil. While returning home, he is kidnapped by Sudeep, who kills him, making his death look like an accident. Unaware of the incident, Bindu proposes to the dying Nani by telephone; it is the last thing Nani hears before he is reincarnated as a housefly that cannot remember its previous life.
The fly's memory is triggered when it encounters Sudeep and Bindu. Sudeep asks the heartbroken Bindu to accompany him to New Delhi to meet the education minister; if she can impress the minister with a presentation about the NGO, he might help it gain national recognition. The fly causes Sudeep to have an accident on his way to the airport and writes "I will kill you" on the windshield; this makes Sudeep paranoid. The fly, who sees Bindu mourning Nani's death in her bedroom, reveals itself to be Nani by writing on the desk with her tears. It conveys the circumstances of Nani's death to Bindu, and they join forces against Sudeep. The latter's obsession with the fly affects his professional and personal life. In a chain of events, his money is burnt to ashes, leaving him almost penniless.
Sudeep learns from a sorcerer that Nani is reincarnated as a fly and seeks revenge. Sudeep arranges to kill Nani but the fly escapes and causes a short circuit, killing the sorcerer and leaving Sudeep unconscious. Nani and Bindu assume Sudeep is dead but he is saved by his business partner. Sudeep is enraged when he learns that Bindu is helping the fly. Sudeep kills his partner to collect a ₹7 billion insurance policy.
Sudeep takes Bindu to his home and Nani follows them. Nani seriously injures Sudeep with a needle. The latter clips Nani's wing and fatally stabs him with the same needle. Nani jumps through the flame of a burning match then into a loaded cannon, which fires. The projectile passes through Sudeep and hits an oxygen cylinder, which explodes and kills him. Bindu takes the fly's wing and makes an amulet with it. One day when travelling to work, an eve teaser bothers her; Nani, again reborn as a fly, attacks him with a needle before announcing his return.
The young girl is impressed with the story of the fly her father narrates.

Review: Eega makes us all proud to be a part of the Telugu Film Industry.'Eega' has released across the world today in a big way and the movie has been directed by S.S.Rajamouli.
To sum it up there is ALWAYS a flashback, hero sets out to make the villain look like a fool, right before the intermission/halfway point through the movie the audience is let in on the secret that the hero only knows, in between there is a love track between the hero and heroine that is established in a wish-washy way.
I for one am fed up with the lack of variety among the modern Tollywood films.Along comes Rajamouli's "EEGA" (also released in Tamil as "Naan EE") and kicks the routine formula out of the equation, and puts any other movie made in the last decade or so to shame.
He must be commended for making use of a low key set of actors and actresses to make (in my opinion) the greatest Telugu film ever made.Sudeep is the real scene stealer here; while Nani, Samantha, and Thagubothu Ramesh do their roles justice.
And now Telugu cinema comes with this movie Eega (Makki in Hindi ) its like slapping Bollywood on its face.
What Bollywood didn't able to do with its high budget , Superstardum , and wide area of viewership Telugu Cinema did it with limited resources ,budget and limited viewers Any telugu guy can tell you what a great risk was take to decide a movie in which the main character is a FLY.
No offense But from past few years most of the telugu movies were also very formulatic in approach as a superman Hero , 1 or 2 heroins (for dance and songs) , a mastermind villain , some fight scenes and thats it .But this movie is a fresh air , well told story , nice comedy scenes , great special effects and CGIs .
Eega Definitely lives up to its expectation or we should say exceeds it, it is a joyous thrill ride from start to end, the movie starts on a love note and changes to a revenge drama.
Kudos to Rajamouli for picking such a simple but interesting plot and and weaving the realistic animation and coming up with a Quality product, Complimented with Keeravani's music , the songs and the background music came out very well, all the songs are visually narrative.Every character seems to be etched by Rajamouli and all of the them performed exceptionally well, Sudeep, Nani and Samantha justified their roles but Eega dominates them all.The Visual effects are a visual extravaganza and a lot of hard work has been put in by the whole Eega Team.
Eega is tagged as ultimate revenge story and you should watch the film to know why it is!

Considering the limitations that plague all the big movie houses of Indian cinema when it comes to visual effects, what Rajamouli achieved here is phenomenal.Nani (Nani) is in love with Bindhu (Samantha) which she does not reciprocate though she has a soft spot for him.
Background score by M.M. Keeravani is as usual elevated for Rajamouli movies, cinematography is excellent especially in the stages when the fly is just born.
The acting is pretty good throughout but the actor playing the villain really shines.The CG effects are sub-par compared to a Hollywood block buster but despite this I found myself forgetting I was watching a very obviously CG fly which I took as a good sign.I would say if you're in the mood to experience something different, to step outside of the rehashed Hollywood garbage, are open to a movie that teeters from whimsical to sinister, and want to watch a moral dance between what amounts to a mob boss and a CG fly give this gem a shot..
I am sure the director made it and announced "hey folks this film is non sense...see if you like it or not but i have tried to make it entertaining".So this non sense movie is absolutely a rich experience.
Dare to try out something new- the audience will watch it; don't bring out the same formula movies of 1 item song (where the lady looks anything but from south) , 4 fight scenes or the family rivalry with Tats Sumos flying around.All in all a great movie and a mere 'Fly will never be the same again', you will think twice before killing it this time !.
You can't take your eyes out of the screen until it finished.Amazing script, beautiful direction, splendid animation and off course wonderful acting by the Hero of this movie (Fly).People who have watched "Teri Meherbaniyan" where a dog took revenge of his master's(Jackie Shroff) death, may try relating this story since in "Eega" a fly (Hindi: Makkhi) also taking revenge.
But I would say one thing here that both stories are totally different (because in Eega: Villain killed a person and the person reborn as a fly and taking revenge of his own violent death) and has their own way of representation."Aare aare aare" song is enchanting and memorizing.Animation at its best!
Beginning with few strong words, if you are an Indian and consider the Hindi Cinema the only worthy representative of our Industry in the world over then you are seriously unaware and utterly wrong because you still haven't watched some "mind blowing" and "creatively shattering" stuff being made in the South from decades.Beginning my praises for this Indian masterpiece called EEGA (Makkhi in Hindi), I would personally recommend watching it in its original language as the process of dubbing extracts many things out of a film unintentionally.
But in case you are not willing to watch it in Telugu, then essentially watch it now in Hindi as the film will delightfully open some new enlightening doors for all the die-hard movie lovers in India, introducing them to the enjoyable world of cinema being made in the southern part of our country, deserving much more praises than being currently showered upon.Perhaps, releasing the dubbed version of EEGA was a right decision by its makers too since this kind of gigantic movie strictly cannot be re- made again and it will be a purely silly decision if a person even thinks of trying it again in order to give some better results.
The film pushes the envelope of Cinematic Entertainment in India further and following are my questions in support of this statement in order to make it a more entertaining read.Can you ever think of a hero being reincarnated in the world again in the form of a Eega/Makkhi/Fly to take his revenge?Can you think of an animated fly giving a great performance along with doing comedy and some outstanding action scenes to get its mission complete?Can you ever think of falling in love with a Eega/Makkhi/Fly enacting on screen?Can you ever think, that you will cheer for a Eega/Makkhi/Fly in the theater, getting out of the way of a speeding bullet just like Salman Khan or Akshay Kumar does in their action movies?No, probably you won't even think of witnessing any such acts on the Indian screen, which director S.S. Rajamouli unbelievably brings in for you in his mega venture EEGA.
But for friends thinking on that terms, I would like to say that EEGA is a perfect example of how a person can have the blessing of not only thinking out of the box but also possessing the exceptional unbelievable talent to perfectly execute his irrational thinking in an incomparable manner, making it highly entertaining and convincing.Regarding the argument over the inspiration factor here, references can also be drawn from similar subject in FLUKE (1995) and COCKROACH (2010), but still they are not a thriller or a revenge drama with such magnificent special effects as depicted by Rajamouli in his latest flick.
Cinematography along with some brilliantly conceived animation offers you something never seen before on Indian screen till date and this should give you enough indication to watch it as soon as possible.Its not an easy task to act in a film which mainly depends upon an animated character, found no-where around when the scenes are being shot (as they are all added at a later stage).
My Rating : 9/10This is what being creative is all about, seriously good movie about a lover who dies and then reincarnates as a fly to take revenge on his perpetrators.Visually riveting, Eega is one helluva high-concept thriller/comedy and needs to be seen to be believed.Watch it!!!.
I went to Eega Movie with lots expectations....the story starts with plain feel good love story between Nani and Samantha ...The chemistry between both protagonist carried very well for starting 15 minutes of the movie every one who watches it get connected to the to one love story ...it is simply magically..They are main scenes in the movie which are not justified by the director 1)They Villain(Sudeep) kills the hero(Nani) in 17th minute movie...they are not many scenes shown to get convinced his angry as much that he will kill Nani for seeing once with Samantha...2)The Kind of Scenes the director made by Eega(housefly) ...Even in the wildest of wildest dreams his will never happen because of Eega They will be Traffic Jam. They will be Car accident.
The actress creating miniature gym set and Mask to the Housefly.They many other scenes ALL THE ABOVE SCENES MADE ME REMIND "SERIES OF UNFORTUNATE EVENTS" 4)Even the technology used in the good the movie failed in giving gripping screenplay..the story seem to be fallen down with entry of housefly ...5)" The director used simple trick of just substituting "housefly" under the place of ghost and made trailer attractive by adding Quotes "the ultimate revenge story"......and keeping rest of the screenplay common like all the ghost movies i watched from the childhood....." The actor Nani justified his role .
After an opening few chapters that are required to establish the three main characters, Eega takes off like a bullet and is as funny and as enjoyable as maybe any film we have seen this year.Any suggestion that a housefly is hardly a match for a human can be quickly eradicated as Nani the fly torments Sudeep not allowing him to sleep, drive or act in public with any sense of normality.
The protagonist is murdered in cold blood by the cartoonishly evil villain.And then he is reincarnated as a housefly (eega is Telugu for fly), and sets out to exact revenge and to protect his lost love from the villain's clutches.
Boy reincarnates as fly and the couple together takes revenge.The factor that entertains us here in this movie EEGA is innocent love.
Even in the movie EEGA the working of a fly with adjacent surroundings has been pictured well.Music: I am not a South Indian, so for me it was average.
Sudeep(antagonist)work is very good and visualisation of nuances created by fly (Eega)is just mind-blowing..
It was hillarious to see how the small fly could complicate the life of his nemesis that much and that efficiently.The special effects were good enough, although some of the CGI was a bit questionable.I have never seen a fly training montage before I watched "Eega", and that alone is enough to watch the movie.
And this being a Hindi movie, so of course you have some singing and dancing scenes, which was to be expected.All in all, "Eega" is an entertaining and somewhat offbeat movie that is definitely worth the time and effort to sit down and watch..
Though its a routine revenge story, replacing a human with an insect makes it special and SS Rajamouli and team makes it sure that it entertains every time you watch..
Piece of crap absolute crap the not at all entertaining not even for one time watch only good thing about this movie is Sudeep acting nothing else.
Taking a gargantuan release in 3 languages, Naan Ee was touted to be a first-of-a-kind fantasy entertainer..Naan Ee is the story of a man who reincarnates himself as a fly to avenge his death.The cast in Naan Ee consists of 4 main characters – The loving Nani, the angelic Samantha, the rugged villain Kiccha Sudeep and the fly.
lets come to acting part,sudeep is amazing in negative shade,nun of the actor could replace him...samantha & nani gave their best..bottom line is:The movie is way more different than you imagine....
Eega can be watched by everyone,the film is clean and no problems for the parents to take their children to the movie.Sky is the limit for this fly..
Thinking apart from logics,screenplay was perfect.cinematography by senthil kumar was not a bit less than Hollywood movie.Eega is made of 70% graphics that mesmerizes u in every frame.The entrance of fly(eega) after hero's death is like a super star entrance.The fly in this movie make u laugh,makes u feel love,revange and other emotions with body language.we must appreciate every person who gave their best to make a fly a heroThis film can be enjoyed by any section of audience and people of all ages..
I mainly thought that "rajamouli has scored all the hits up to now and his stamina and ideology may decrease for the next movie and eega may be the average to above average movie".But after watching the film I recognized that not his ideology decreased but mine.Movie is completely an out and out entertainer which shows the stamina of Indian films,mainly Telugu films in terms of graphics and special effects.Movie is going to be the best film in rajamouli's career and also in tollywood film industry.The first credit for this wonderful movie will obviously goes to Rajamouli.Inspite of movie being late for 3 months after its audio release,he has turned it into a perfect movie.Every scene in the movie is excellent in terms of quality.The next credit goes to Makuta graphics,which has done wonderful job in graphics for eega.Editing is crisp,songs are nice.BGM by M.M.Keeravani was excellent,mainly at interval block and many of the scenes gains momentum due to BGM.Interms of acting everyone did a fine job.Especially kicha sudeep was superb as a villain.Its a treat to watch Samantha for her expressions.Nani was good but eega dominated them all.There is also a hilarious comedy sequences in d movie.Don't leave the hall after the climax.You'll have a surprise scenes at end titles.Finally,Eega will be the extraordinary film for all genres,especially kids and family audience.Don't miss Eega.These kind of films don't come very often.HATS OFF Eega team...waiting to see it second time..;).
Anyway its good to watch without expecting a feel like Hollywood movie.
Rating: 3/5 stars (Three-Stars)Star Cast: Sudeep, Nani , Samantha and the protagonist – A House fly!, Ajay Devgan (voiceover)What's Good: Imagination, inventiveness , inspite of its absurdities at times, Director Rajamouli is able to carve a hilarious tale out of a make believe world where logic is intertwined with fantasy, some great computer graphics and visualisation.What's Bad: The name itself maybe, the climax seems a bit extended.Loo Breaks: Few and far between in the first half .
They just might end up rooting for the 'housefly' !Makkhi, a revenge story of Jani (Nani) who is head over heels in love with Bindu (Samantha), left only to be murdered by play boyish businessman Sudeep (Sudeep) .
eega is a spectacular movie by rajamouli.you really have to pay double to the ticket price after watching this flick.sudeep's extraordinary acting,samantha's innocent acting and rajamouli's talent makes this movie a 100% entertainer and makes this 2:30 hour movie run without boredom .nani has little to do ,but did his job well.another thing worth mention here is the graphics and the music by keeravani they are the backbone of the movie.i gave 9 out of 10 only due to a very few scenes which were too silly.tagubothu ramesh character is very enjoyable.the whole narration and the script work depicts the innovative ideas of rajamouli.after watching the movie most of the people will hope a sequel.finally one thing to mention is it is perfectly not a movie for who expects a normal mass masala entertainment definitely a movie for children and creativity lovers.
South Indian movies Rock as their quality movies like eega alias (naani in tamil ) are persisted and leaves the audiences thoroughly entertained Kollywood has once again proved that it is the best film industry in India A fresh new concept adding entertainment to the best possible manner, and moreover good story line and never seen such a thing on screen with excellent Graphics/ Vfx and great and intelligent execution of ideasHats off to the makers of this movie,bringing the unexpected thing to the screen .
this movie won't let you down, as it has interesting flicks , even children's will love too , with that insect doing impossible things with the help of micro artist ( samantha) in taking the revenge of her lover's murder.
This is really an Excellent Indian Movie with good animations where as SS Rajamouli successes in Creating this Eega Movie...Samantha, Nani and Sudeep acted very well with good expressions as natural actors.
For a long time for this movie Finally 'Eega' flies on the screens.I should start this review with Rajamouli sir he did fantastic amazing mind blowing job in his entire career, particularly he took a lot of care for the Fly it is just like WOW..!
and Nani and Samantha done their job in the first twenty minutes Rajamouli showed his command on love stories and the expressions particularly.
As you all know the story line of this movie, The Fly takes ultimate revenge on Sudeep who did tremendous job as well.
EEGA(Makkhi in Hindi) however does seem a film which sets high standards not only for Telugu Industry but also for Indian Cinema.
"Eega" director S.S.Rajamouli made it clear .coming to the plot nani(himself) has an unflinching love with a girl(samantha) for past 2 years.
