Featured reviews
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.

Elements like the below are an icing on the cake : 1. Eega doing its best to prevent Sudeep from getting intimate with Bindu.
2. Eega's teasing gestures to Sudeep, which is funny and also lends an aura of heroism around the fly.
3. Eega's song where it challenges Sudeep is not only well-placed but also an integral part of the film.
4. The character of Bindu being made a part of Eega's plot is superb. Kicha Sudeep's performance in Eega is getting rave reviews from various quarters. With his wonderful acting, the actor has won the hearts of the audience. However, his fan followers from Karnataka had one more reason to be thrilled

First I let all you know that I am from a Hindi state (utter pradesh) where Bollywood rules But to be honest Bollywood is too idea less to be called a creative movie industry.Bollywood live on stealing from others from Hollywood , Pakistan , (almost from every part on earth) and now there is a trend to steal from Tamil and Telugu cinema .And the sad part is most of the people even never get to know that who was the original creator.some movies are gazani,roudy rauthor , bodygaurd , ready , and many more .Most of them are super hit in bollywood. And now Telugu cinema comes with this movie Eega (Makki in Hindi ) its like slapping Bollywood on its face. What Bollywood didn't able to do with its high budget , Superstardum , and wide area of viewership Telugu Cinema did it with limited resources ,budget and limited viewers Any telugu guy can tell you what a great risk was take to decide a movie in which the main character is a FLY. No offense But from past few years most of the telugu movies were also very formulatic in approach as a superman Hero , 1 or 2 heroins (for dance and songs) , a mastermind villain , some fight scenes and thats it .
But this movie is a fresh air , well told story , nice comedy scenes , great special effects and CGIs . I recommend this movie for everyone and salute Rajamouli (director) for his great work ,

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.

My Rating : 9/10
This is what being creative is all about, seriously good movie about a lover who dies and then reincarnates as a fly to take revenge on his perpetrators.
Visually riveting, Eega is one helluva high-concept thriller/comedy and needs to be seen to be believed.
Watch it!!!

- TriviaOne of the films and the only Telugu film considered to be sent out as India's entry to the Oscar Academy Awards 2012 in the best foreign language film category, but lost out to Barfi! (2012).
- GoofsBindhu asks Nani to accompany her from office on foot as her scooter has no fuel and she locks up the scooter in her office compound. But next day morning she is shown driving off the scooter from her home.
- Alternate versionsWas simultaneously shot in the Tamil language under the title "Naan Ee" (which translates to "I'm a Fly"). The cast is essentially the same in the two films, with the exception of the Drunk Robber, played by Thagubothu Ramesh in Eega and Santhanam in Naan Ee. In addition, Crazy Mohan, who wrote the Tamil dialogues for Naan Ee, has a cameo appearance in that film.
