Sadly Over-hyped

good back-story, and good acting

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

I saw the Hindi dubbed version of the film out of curiosity with all the hype surrounding it. And u loved it! This film's brilliance can be mainly attributed to its creative storyline and fabulous visuals. Makkhi is thoroughly defined in its physical features, and the micro art aspect is well thought out. The story is that of typical rebirth with a mega twist. One that seems incredible, but is fabulously presented with heart warming sentiments. I liked the villain who looked perfectly lecherous, and harassed in the latter half. The heroine could have acted better though. The love story is sweet, and the fact that the movie never gets too depressing is the one I appreciate. It maintains a healthy balance of emotion and fun. This outlandish piece of work is a must watch. Kudos to the courage of the director!

Though the story was revealed even before the shoot, the screenplay makes it fresh. Special appreciation to all the technicians who have worked hard for the perfection. SS Rajamouli delivers a good film with a small insect EEGA. Though there were many actors who gave their best, its EEGA who steals the show. Cinematography and music are plus points. Art department did a good job. And the costumes, makeup and editing are additional assets. Undoubtedly, this is an experiment not only in Telugu but also in India, but it turns out to be a blockbuster just because of screenplay and EEGA. The production values are rich. Though its a routine revenge story, replacing a human with an insect makes it special and SS Rajamouli and team makes it sure that it entertains every time you watch.

I was initially drawn to this movie because of it's similar premise with the H.P. Lovecraft/Hazel Heald story "Winged Death". Eega is not your typical fare, especially as an American unaccustomed to the movies of India. The first quarter of this film feels like you're watching the love child of a car/jewelry advert and music video. That's not to say it's bad it's just atypical and at times distracting.Overall I found the story to be somewhat predictable and it veered from a sickening sweet to the dark and sinister. The acting is pretty good throughout but the actor playing the villain really shines.The CG effects are sub-par compared to a Hollywood block buster but despite this I found myself forgetting I was watching a very obviously CG fly which I took as a good sign.I would say if you're in the mood to experience something different, to step outside of the rehashed Hollywood garbage, are open to a movie that teeters from whimsical to sinister, and want to watch a moral dance between what amounts to a mob boss and a CG fly give this gem a shot.

Worth watching this movie. You can't take your eyes out of the screen until it finished.Amazing script, beautiful direction, splendid animation and off course wonderful acting by the Hero of this movie (Fly).People who have watched "Teri Meherbaniyan" where a dog took revenge of his master's(Jackie Shroff) death, may try relating this story since in "Eega" a fly (Hindi: Makkhi) also taking revenge. But I would say one thing here that both stories are totally different (because in Eega: Villain killed a person and the person reborn as a fly and taking revenge of his own violent death) and has their own way of representation."Aare aare aare" song is enchanting and memorizing.Animation at its best! I would rate 9/10.
