South India's top commercial director SS Rajamouli's most ambitious project Eega is out at a record 1200 theatres across the world. Nani plays the main lead (Technically it's the rebirth of Nani as the housefly which is the lead character), Samantha plays the female lead and Sudeep plays the most important role as a Villain. Keeravani has done the music and Senthil is the cameraman.
What's the story?
Nani playing the eternal lover boy and Samantha will secretly adores Naani like what happens in most south movies these days. Sudeep gets mad when he gets to know that Samantha, the girl he admires, is in love with Naani. He goes on to kill Nani. Then unfolds the real battle -- the rebirth of Naani as a housefly and how he takes revenge on Sudeep. The names of Sudeep and Naani were retained in the movie, while it's Bindhu for Sam.
The positives
The bonding between Naani and Sam was great. Sudeep has given a once-in-a-lifetime performance. If one-half of the film is for kids, then the other half is for adults -- its Rajamouli’s master blend that has packed all the elements so well. The background music will just woo you. The CG work by Makuta team was extraordinary, specially the scene where Sudeep blackmails Naani by Sam was shot brilliantly. Cameraman Senthil deserves a special mention here. Overall, the film keeps you engrossed for most of the time.
The negatives
The film is a bit lengthy, sometimes you might feel that it is for the kids.
Final word
It’s Sudeep, Sudeep and Sudeep all the way. A must watch revenge story - it will make you laugh and cry at the same time.
