etc. Produced by Aascar Films V.Ravichandran… And music composed by
A.R.Rahman…

many more… It’ll be my first venture with veteran DoP PC Sriram &
writer duo SuBa.
Costume designer of ‘Men in Black’ series Mary
Vogt is designing special costumes. Peter Ming of China and our own Anal

This is a full ‘N full Romantic Thriller…

"NAAN EE" MOVIE REVIEW
Starring:
Nani, Samantha, Sudeep
Direction:
S S Rajamouli
Music:
Maragatha Mani
Production:
PVP Cinemas
The King of masala flicks, director SS Rajamouli, who has
made films like Magadheera and Viramarkudu has come up with yet another
super-entertainer Naan Ee, starring Nani, Samantha and Sudeep. This
romantic-fantasy was in the making for very long, mainly because of the
computer graphics.
The film is a good package with a perfect blend of fantasy, thrill,
comedy and romance. The story line, in which the murdered hero,
reincarnates as a house fly and takes revenge on his killer, might sound
a bit immature, when just heard. But the film gives you a completely
different experience.
SS Rajamouli has made sure that every department of film making has
delivered its best. The film’s dialogue writer Crazy Mohan has penned
some of his trademark rib ticklers. He has maintained simplicity
throughout the script, so that the film doesn’t have any unnecessary
punches from the hero or the villain.
Though Nani, the film’s protagonist, has very less screen time, his
absence is not felt. The romantic sequences between Samantha and Nani
aren’t exaggerated at all, and look simple and feel good. Samantha too
has done a neat job handling the character. But it is Kiccha Sudeep who
is the clear winner. He has the right style and attitude required for
the role. He plays the cruel man, who is being terrorized by a fly. The
sequences between the fly and Sudeep in the first half are hilarious to
the core. Usually, in most of the films, it will be the hero or the
heroine who would have to carry out all types of emotions. But quiet
contrarily, in Naan Ee, it is the villain who had to portray all types
of emotions, and Sudeep has handled it with brilliance. Santhanam,
though appears in a guest role, makes an impression. Devadharshini and
Adithya, in character roles have delivered what is required.
The CG and visual effects department must be applauded for such a
wonderful job. They have made a fly to emote, dance and show gestures
and that too with meticulous concentration on the details.
Another boost for the film is its music. Songs are very good, and
with the visuals, it is more attractive. But it is the background music
that scores more. The sarcastic touches by Keeravani here and there when
Sudeep suffers the fly attack, contribute to the film’s humour in a big
way.
KK Senthil Kumar’s cinematography is another marvel in the film. The
ultra-motion shots, like those in the song ‘Rules Kidayadhu’, are awe
inspiring. Be it the lighting, framing or compositions, everything were
perfect and visually pulchritudinous. The cinematography is perfectly
supported by Kotagiri Venkateshwara Rao’s pacy editing. The sound
engineering of the film can match the western quality to some extent.
On the whole, Naan Ee is an awe inspiring magical journey and a
wholesome family entertainer. These two and a half hours will probably
be the only time in one’s whole life, when we would love a fly.
Verdict: High on entertainment quotient

"EEGA" MOVIE REVIEW
| Director : S.S.Rajamouli |
| Producer : Suresh Babu |
| Music Director : M.M. Keeravani |
| Starring: Nani, Samantha, Sudeep |
Sudeep ,Samantha and Nani have played the lead roles in S.S.Rajamouli’s Eega and the movie has released today. Rajamouli has worked very hard for two years to come up with this movie and it has released with very high expectations. Let us see how the movie is.
Story :
‘Eega’ starts off as a father’s bedtime story to a daughter. Bindu
(Samantha) runs a charity organization that looks after the welfare of
orphans. Nani (Nani) is a neighbour who loves Bindu deeply and he is
shown as a guy who has been in love with her for the past two years. He
keeps expressing his love for her in many ways and Bindu too loves him,
but never expresses her feelings. Into this scenario comes Sudeep, a
very rich business magnate. He sees Samantha and starts coveting her.
Once Sudeep realises the romantic angle between Bindu and Nani, he
gets enraged and kills off Nani. At the time of dying, Nani realises
that Bindu is also in love with him and he vows to protect Bindu from
Sudeep. This causes him to be reborn as an Eega.
The rest of the story is about how the Eega protects Samantha from Sudeep
Plus Points :
Sudeep is the highlight of this movie. He has played a full length
role for the first time in a Telugu film and he makes a great
impression. His emotions, anger and histrionics are perfect.Samantha has
done a great performance oriented role after ‘Ye Maya Chesave’ and her
scenes with the Eega are superb. Her costumes are nice and she looks
great.
Rajamouli does not have the comfort of a big hero’s presence in the
movie, yet, he manged to pull of a good drama involving nothing more
than a simple housefly. He has taken special care in terms of screenplay
and graphics.
Special mention must be made of the scenes where the Eega tells
Samantha that he is Nani. They are simply superb. The scenes where the
Eega builds up physical endurance and the interval block are excellent
as well.
Thagubothu Ramesh’s comedy track is neat. Hamsa Nandini makes a glamorous cameo appearance.
Technical Aspects :
Keeravani’s background score for this movie is outstanding and his
work is key in communicating the Eega’s emotions to the audience. The
theme song ‘lava lava’ used for Sudeep is also very nicely done.
Makuta team’s graphics work is admirable and they have taken the
range of Telugu cinema to new heights along with Rajamouli. Senthi’s
camerawork is good and he has shown the Eega’s vantage angles
beautifully. Editing is neat and dialogues are ok.
Verdict :
Eega is a highly entertaining graphics tale that is a must watch.
Many people wanted to see what Rajamouli could do without a commercial
hero in the lead. For all of them, Eega is a fitting answer. Don’t miss
it.
