Makhhi or eega is a movie which is absolutely weird and non sense but wait......this movie is a official non sense movie. 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. Its fresh beautiful and artistic. Unexpectedly this is first movie from south that i loved. Amazing story though nothing new but along with 'arey arey' soundtrack this film is just a refreshing experience. Don't know if they like it or not but i just loved this senselessness. Animation is unforgettable even though it has no match with modern animation movies. In all i loved this movie and congratulate director and crew for this try.

For the more cynical movie-goers that have long claimed that the movie producing machine lacks originality, I offer one word into the counter argument – EEGA! Eega, which had its Toronto premiere at the Toronto After Dark Film Festival this Friday, is a wildly entertaining yarn hailing from India and director David Barlow-Krelina. At its core, Eega is a story about revenge. Nani is in love. His affection is towards neighbor Bindhu (Samantha Ruth Prabhu) who is smitten by Nani's acts of fondness but keeps the love struck young man in a state dreamlike unfulfillment for two years.Sudeep is the third character in the triangle. A rich and cocky businessman, Sudeep is accustomed to getting everything he wants and upon a chance meeting with Bindhu, he becomes obsessed in his desire to add Bindhu to his list of female conquers.Standing in his way is Bindhu's mutual attraction to Nani which when revealed to Sudeep becomes an easy resolve – kill Nani to eliminate the competition. Nani's life will soon come to an abrupt end at the foot of Sudeep's evil, but the story continues when Nani is reincarnated as a common housefly. Determined to win back the love of Bindhu and to exact revenge upon Sudeep for his sadistic self-serving actions, the fly will torment, plot and carry out a plan of revenge driving Sudeep into a state of madness.Now, OK. I get it. You are likely reading the synopsis and wondering how the hell we could have used the words 'wildly entertaining' in our opening when the film's story lends itself more to a Roger Corman styled effort. Add in mention that the film includes a song and dance number and I am sure that most audiences will either negate any chance of Eega being included on their must-watch list or deflect any interest at the first sign of Bollywood. But not so fast. 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. Nani the fly is able to reveal his new form to Bindhu and in an act of fly-charades, Nani convinces Bindhu that the still-courting Sudeep is his murderer. The separated-by-death couple then work out an exaggerated but fully enjoyable plan to reciprocate the villainous action.With an incredible musical score by M.M. Keeravani to accompany a cartoon-like adventure that reminded us of the work of Stephen Chow (Kung Fu Hustle), Eega was easily the most original crowd-pleasing entry on our 2013 calendar. Over the top visuals and situations of incredibly gratifying ridiculousness will make Eega a cult classic and it is no surprise that the film is receiving red hot reviews while touring the festival circuit. The most gratifying intermission title card that we have ever seen helped send the Toronto audience into a rapturous state of applause and further highlighted the pleasurable taste of satisfaction that emanated throughout the theatre walls.Eega effortlessly becomes a movie that we can champion as a must see. It's as innovative and as unusual a film you are likely to see and, right now, sits among the better films of 2013.www.killerreviews.com

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 . Close to none in the second, you would want to grab the scheming 'Makkhi' as it plots the downfall.Watch or Not: Not just for the kids, even the adults might want to have a look at least once at this piece. 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) . Jani then is reborn as a housefly on the path to revenge and tries his best to avenge his death. But would he be able to quench his thirst for Sudeep's blood, would he be able to reunite with Bindu, his love? or would he be quashed under one of the devious plans of Sudeep?On the surface, Makkhi looks like just another Southern flick on the piles that we catch every week on the idiot box, one that you might ignore but scratch and look beneath it and you get a refreshing Revenge flick after many years, so what if it's a rebirth tale , so what if the protagonist is just a housefly here ! For the common masses Humse Hai Muqabla , Dashavatram, Nayak and Robot have been perhaps the Southern movies they loved having a dekko at , this might be another one added to the kitty.Makkhi Review: Script Analysis Rebirth, well, it has been a tried and tested formula for ages , ever since we had Karz and Karan Arjun etc. But the revenge and rebirth gets a new angle as we witness it all from a housefly's point of view. So expect the fly to be smacked with a tennis ball, fall and come out of a sherbet, survive in a running drain , eagles flying all over and even shots of bullets and tantric vidya to name a few. Some brilliant thought process and visualisation, reservoirs of creativity unleashed here.Makkhi Review: Star Performances Sudeep as the womanizer, a business tycoon lynching at every gorgeous woman he eyes stands out from the rest. He has been hailed as the King of remakes in down south, using Tamil and Telugu titles to make it big in the Kannada cinema. However, here he has done his bit. As a devious money minded soul, he never thinks twice before enticing women to clinch deals or even killing his partners for profit. The only thing that stops him in his march though is a small, harmless housefly. He plays his part here and stands out from the rest of the cast. Jani doesn't have much of the role assigned to him however he does bring a smile or two in the initial half an hour. Samantha as Bindu is calm and composed in her role. She is in love but is too hesitant to tell him, her scenes with Nani add charm to the story. But the star here is the protagonist Makkhi who has been crafted with some exquisite and fine artistry by animators from around the globe.Makkhi Review: Direction, Music & Technical Aspects Director from south, S. S. Rajamoulli ,who earlier gave us Vikramarkudu and Maryada Ramana (Rowdy Rathore and Son of Sardar, the Hindi remakes) is back with his Telugu flick Eega dubbed into Makkhi . He is able to touch the heart of his audience just by the sheer brilliance with which he captivates the mind of the housefly here. The music best said is just the right mix here for such a movie, the track 'Are Are Are' by KK is a hummable ballad, stays with you. The title song is catchy too, though the entire soundtrack isn't for keeps. The screenplay and the VFX, Animation and computer graphics makes your chest swell up a bit that the film's after all made in India. The movie has about 2234 live Action Animation shots and around 90 minutes of the 137 minutes is animation based.Makkhi Review: The Last Word The movie deserves a 3* from my desk. A blend of Animation , VFX, visualisation and some great screenplay, 'Makkhi' is an art that's worked for Director Rajamoulli yet again. Definitely a must watch for the kids and Animation lovers.Not just for the kids, even the adults might want to have a look at least once at this piece. They just might end up rooting for the 'housefly' !There's even a Makkhi dance with the end credits, expect Salman Khan's towel dance and Ajay Devgan's Son Of Sardaar performance by this cheeky fly as you leave the theatre.

What starts out as a love story quickly escalates into jealousy and murder. 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. Yes, it's a story about a vengeful spirit reincarnated as a housefly. Let me be clear here - it's a regular housefly, not a superhousefly or something. Well, a housefly with human intelligence and past memories, so super to an extent... but still a housefly that can be zapped by a bug zapper.It is a well made movie, given the premise. Good effects, nice sequences... enjoyable overall. But it's still over-the-top in-your-face action, typical Telugu masala fare. The plot gets thicker once the fly partners with his ex-beloved, who happens to be a miniature artist, who helps him train himself physically and makes protective gear for him to wear. No kidding. Ridiculous? Yes, but you would have stopped caring about realism and sense long time before this happens.It's a good story - given the premise. It's well made - given the premise. It's entertaining - given the premise. The premise itself is quite novel and groundbreaking, but it's difficult to take it seriously when you remember that it's all about a reincarnated housefly executing a planned revenge on his killer using stealth tactics and miniature weaponry.Don't get me wrong - I enjoyed the movie immensely. It's great to see people coming out with experimental stuff like this. And it delivers what it promises.
