(This week,we are recommending S.S.
Rajamouli’s Eega,produced by P.V.P.Cinemas)
Title-Eega/Naan
EE
Language-Telugu/Tamil
Year-2012
Director-S.S.Rajamouli
Banner-P.V.P
Cinemas
It’s not
easy to pull off a feature film with a fly as it’s protagonist.In Eega,S.S.
Rajamouli not only attempted this bizarre concept but also came out with flying
colours.Made as a tamil-telugu bi-lingual’Eega’(Naan EE in tamil) was also one
of the biggest hits in South India,last year(the movie also had it’s dubbed version in Hindi(Makkhi) and
Malayalam(Eecha)).It was the kind of stuff which would have easily walked
away with atleast half a dozen Academy Awards had it been made in Hollywood!
The story line is pretty simple-Nani is the typical happy go lucky guy
who is madly in love with Bindhu(Samantha).However before Bindhu could
reciprocate her feelings to him,he is brutally killed by Multi-millionaire
Sudeep who also has an eye on her.Nani gets reborn as a fly and takes revenge
on Sudheep.How the fly manages to kill the villain is what Eega is all
about.With a wafer thin story like this which relies heavily on VFX and CGI,Eega
had every possibility to become an epic disaster.But thanks to the genius of
S.S. Rajamouli,Eega is an enjoyable entertainer
which is totally worth your time and money.The animation by Makuta Visual
effects is of international standards and has contributed heavily to the
success of this film.
What I
liked the most about this film-
1.Just
about everything!- Well,for the sake of it,will mention a few high points of
the movie here- Kicha Sudeep’s brilliant perfo as the baddie,Team Makuta’s
topnotch animation and VFX work,the pretty heroine Samantha Ruth Prabhu(who has
also acted decently)and above all, the one man who made it all
possible-S.S.Rajamouli.With Eega, Rajamouli once again proves that he is the
best when it comes to fantasy!
2.If it
wasn’t for it’s brilliant writing,Eega could have easily relegated itself to a ‘VFX
extravaganza’ alone(remember Walt Disney’s ambitious telugu film,the
Siddharth-Shruthi Haasan starrer’Anaganaga O Dheerudu’, which became a dud
eventually?).The underlying romantic track between Nani and Bindhu has been
etched out really well which also is the soul of the film.
What I
didn’t like about the film-
Absolutely
nothing!
Verdict-4.75/5.Every
once in a while, comes an Indian film which really makes us proud and even
changes our changes our perception of Indian Cinema.Eega is one of those
movies.Don’t miss this masterpiece!
