Film: Eega (Telugu) Naan Ee (Tamil)
Director: SS Rajamouli
Music: MM Keeravani
Cast: Sudeep, Samantha, Nani, Abhiram, Crazy Mohan, Hamsa and Nandini
Rating: ****
Director SS Rajamouli has films including Magadheera, Maryadhe Ramanna, Simhadri, Yamadonga and Vikramarkudu to his credit. And this time around, he proves his mettle once again with his latest offering, Eega (Telegu).
In fact the film had garnered quite a bit of interest in the past few months with everyone wondering why is a fly the protagonist of the film.
Give the director a pat on the back; he's succeeded in using technology to its best.
Even though it would have surprised most Sudeep fans to see him play a negative role, the actor has done a fantastic job. It may sound like a bit of an exaggeration, but we're predicting this film to become a classic as far as Sudeep's career graph is concerned.
His expressions and performance, especially in a hotel sequence where he meets the character played by Samantha and finds that she craves for somebody, are superb.
The film is all about Sudeep (which is also the name of the character in the film) who is not only a successful businessman but also takes special interest in beautiful women. He meets Bindu (Samatha) and is completely smitten. He decides to donate Rs15 lakh to the NGO she works with. After that, he tries all sorts of tricks in the book to get close to Bindu and craves for her hand.
Meanwhile, Naani (Naani), an enthusiastic and energetic youth, falls in love with Bindu. While they decide to lead a happy life, Sudeep has other ideas.
His lust forces him to kill the young boy. But that's where Sudeep's troubles begin. Naani reincarnates as a housefly and decides to teach Sudeep a lesson.
Does he succeed in his mission, albeit his size and whatever happens to the two broken lovers? See the film to find out.
Samantha, who has acted in Telugu films including Ye Maaya Chesave, Brindavanam and Dookudu, looks charming and for a change, she isn't running around trees. This film gives her the opportunity to showcase her acting skills as much as possible.
Naani, as the possessive lover, appears on the silver screen for a very brief while but does a good job, nevertheless.
MM Keeravani has provided lilting music. Amongall the songs,Koncham Koncham, penned by Ananth Sriram and sung by Vijay Prakash —is the best. KK Senthilkumar has done a wonderful job behind the camera, too.
The movie is worth a watch not only for Telugu speaking people but also Kannada cine buffs since it has a few Kannada dialogues and Sudeep in the lead role. The film has also been dubbed into Tamil and has been released under the title, Naan Ee.
