Eecha – The Fly

Eecha is the Malayalam Dub of Telugu Tamil Bi-lingual Naan E/Eega. The Film has been dubbed from the Tamil version.

 Expectations

Expectations were high among those who watch Telugu movies & those who have heard about SS Rajamouli, the Maghadheera director.  Rajamouli is the Shankar of Tollywood with no flops so far & all his films turning out to be Blockbusters. With Magadheera he raised the bar to a next level. So much excitement was there to see what has he done this time. The title of the movie also gave rise to curiosity among people.

Story

Is a simple revenge story that we have seen many times before in Indian cinema. Hero in love with heroine, Villain also in love with the Heroine, Villain eliminate hero, hero is reborn as ‘Eecha’ (Fly), Tries to get his revenge. Will he succeed, what happens to the heroine forms the rest of the story.

It’s an out an out Rajamouli film. His dreams, his vision & passion is clearly visible in the film. Even though a simple story the narration makes the film worth every single penny of yours. It’s not a serious movie, it’s a fun movie suited more for the families and especially Kids.  The  animation is top notch, VFX works are very good matching Hollywood standards. Performances are also good. Sudeep did an excellent job as the villain; the scenes where the fly troubles him are outstandingly enacted by the Kannada Super star where he has to imagine the fly attacking him and act, it’s hard to believe that there was no fly there. Nani has a cameo length role, Samantha looked pretty and did a decent job, Music was good, so as the Background.

The Fly will be loved by kids for sure, the things that it do are sure to bring down the house. It’s a perfect treat for the entire family by Rajamouli – Its rip roaring fun
