Good story, Not enough for a whole film

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.

This is the first time I have actually sat down and watched a Hindi film as most tend to be hard to understand the plot. I thought I would give this one a go as this movie came up on Netflix in my favourite category; Sci-fi.Some of the dialogue is spoken in English but has English subtitles. The movie has its moments of hilarity frequently after the reincarnation has happened and the research of the common housefly was obviously well done as the movements and behaviour seem effective and so real on the CGI fly. However, some of the moments with the fly and Sudeep seem so ridiculously funny, it is as if some of these scenes were written by a wannabe comedian.The actors all put in a very good performance and the interaction with the CGI fly makes it very convincing. Sudeep makes this interaction very believable to the point where can practically feel his own despair and pain of the torment he is suffering. The budget of the film must have been above average for the film given that there is the cost of using CGI and an onset explosion which would have destroyed a whole set.Overall, this isn't too bad a movie and it doesn't have a dull moment. I would watch this movie again.

I find misleading the score of 8 that this movie has here at the time of writing this. First of all, let me start by saying that I don't like Bollywood movies, in general. I avoid them. For the description presented on this website, I didn't think this movie was going to be like that, so I was disappointed at having to cope with (BAD) singing and dancing. In all fairness, it's mostly the first 30 minutes of this that really stick out for mediocrity: I don't know if the bad songwriting and poor choreography were created like that on purpose in order to make it funny, although I can tell you that "bad" doesn't equal "funny", by no means. The 2 people the love story spins around are terrible actors: wooden like expressions, lack of natural feeling in the acting... Thankfully, the male gets killed (like we all know by the movie description) within those 30 first minutes, so one less thing to cope with. The CGI fly makes a much better actor than him. Speaking of special effects, they are mostly OK, nothing brilliant, but they deliver. Strange how it seems to be differences between CGI quality throughout the movie.One thing I don't get is why the H the actors seem to swap between speaking Telegu and English whenever they feel like it. To be honest, I don't know anything about Hindu languages, and wouldn't be surprised if they have been so westernized in some areas that they really speak like that, but I don't like it, sorry about that; India fought very hard for its independence to just include such non-sense in its language. Then again, maybe this is another recourse of the filmmaker to try to add a note of humour to the movie. Well, if that's the case, it's a big fail. Same goes for the inclusion of Christian religion in Hindu life, in this movie. I can respect people, highly, for considering a cow sacred. I won't respect anybody pushing his/her religion in a war of conquest.Thankfully, the interactions between the bad guy (who saves the acting part delivering a solid and humorous repertoire) and the imaginary fly make it up for most of the horrible singing and acting. Speaking of horrible things, what's up with the air blowing effect on the girl, even indoors? Is that a common Bollywood recourse, or just another failed attempt to humour?It's in interesting how much blood and sadistic behaviour this movie contains. I don't dislike it, quite the opposite. Just surprising for a silly Indian movie.Anyway, the only piece of music I enjoyed is the last one, at the very end, you'll see why! The fact that the voice pitch is changed probably helped (a lot).Fun (perhaps) to watch once. I just hope the whole movie was created as a big joke. If the drama, musical or any other genre in it was intended with any seriousness, it is a total failure.

While Hollywood is busy promoting promiscuity, perversity, Satanism, drug abuse, etc Bollywood is making a movie about - as the description of this movie states - a murdered man who is reincarnated as a housefly and seeks to avenge his death. Hollywood is going bankrupt, Bollywood is succeeding. Eega demonstrates perfectly well why that is the case, as silly as the premise of the movie may sound.Anyone can make a porn movie, celebrate drug abuse, trash religions, etc. Any movie can be filled with sexual scenes, nudity, perversity and such things. That's why Dutch and French movies will never break through and that's why Hollywood is currently going bankrupt. It's a cheap, uncultured, immoral and shameless way to attempt to make money. In contrast, making a movie such as Eega takes skills, culture, religion and all of that to make it work. In addition, even though I'm not into romantic movies, Eega and Magadheera (2009) from the same director and co-writer of this movie, S.S. Rajamouli, I have greatly enjoyed both of these romantic movies. It's a huge relieve that S.S. Rajamouli hasn't tried to make a Western styled movie. Both Eega and Magadheera are culturally and theologically Indian movies in every way (and both deal with reincarnation). It gives me a little bit of hope that it's not over with good movies in the world. There is a still a country in the world that has enough self-respect to be able to produce such a movies like this one, instead of resorting to something like I Love You Phillip Morris (2009).From the beginning to the end Eega has kept me entertained. I was expecting it to be bad but I was pleasantly surprised. The movie focuses on what matters to the story and never goes astray. I have never seen a movie in which a person is incarnated as a fly and that also makes one curious I guess, which works in favor of the movie and the movie takes full advantage of that.A romantic but sad movie. Definitely recommended!

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.
