Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

RipDelight This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

morganstephens512 This is the first film of this country I have ever seen, and boy it was a really interesting one. The acting was very good I will admit, and the concept was quite out there and I like the story to it. However, I just don't really know what else I can be able to say to it before I see more films of this country. I know that this is not really helpful, but I do suggest it and if for nothing else, the insanity of it and the idea of a fly being able to change one persons life forever is a very interesting thing to behold. I think that could be one of the better movies I have seen in 2017, even though this came out in 2012, so I guess I should say this is one of the better films of 2012 I have seen

ImJoelJayakar 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.

abhinavt-147-64636 How should I describe this film. On paper if you were to read the plot you might misconstrue this to be another epic pot boiler based on age old revenge formula. Only when you watch this movie you would realise how ground breaking effort was made into making this movie. While the style is inspired by Hollywood flicks, I found this movie to be very original. The story , narration ,special effects and cinematography are all effectively dealt by ace director S.S. Rajamouli. while there are several desi flicks that tried to rip off Hollywood movies they all were basically souless, melodramatic and predictable fare but Eega will promise to keep you on the edge of the seat if you are looking for a movie that feels like a breath of fresh air in the midst of senseless hero oriented masala flicks.

Hamish Joy 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.
