Eega(2012) Genre: Comedy/Drama/Fantasy, Runtime:140 minutes, 4/5


This is a truly astounding and humbling experience.

Astounding because this blows apart all the expectations which the viewer may have before he sees it.

The casual viewer will approach this with a very high degree of skepticism. This is the tale of a person who is killed by a gangster is reborn as a fly to seek revenge. The story reeks of ridiculousness.

However 30 minutes into it and you know you are in for the ride of your life. The ingenuity shown by the eponymous character in pursuing vengeance and the director in creating the scenes is breath taking.

The scenes are created perfectly. The confrontations between Eega(House fly in English) and the construction magnate villain (played superbly by Sudeep) are full of fun and will have you teetering on the edge of your seat.

The CGI is world class and the watchers of the regular Indian fare will be totally delighted and amazed.

The screenplay is first rate and extracts the maximum out of a simple and highly improbable plot.

This is an experience of a lifetime. Never believed i would be so moved by an Indian regional flick.

 Truly made my day. Very highly recommended.
