Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaSince the head of a housefly is made up almost entirely of eye and very little muscle, conveying emotion as the fly was extremely difficult. To overcome this, S.S. Rajamouli used body language - they made Nani cover his head completely in cloth and asked him to perform various emotions just through body language. This data was given to the animation team who then created all the movements and body language for the fly.
- 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.

Featured review
Something Different
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.
