One would have come across many re-incarnation stories told through the celluloid world, with the main protagonists doing some unfinished business through their new life. As a creator, one can weave any kind of story revolving around a human getting revenge for his previous avatar. To go a step further, it’s also easier to convey a tale of an animal doing the same, with the help of cinematic freedom. But, if you stretch it too far and say a human gets re-incarnated as an animal, seldom you will get a second look. And if that animal is a diminutive, helpless insect like a House Fly, you will only be scorned for the ridiculously wild imagination, you are harping on.
But, director S.S. Rajamouli has exactly done the same in his ‘Naan E’ (Eegaa in Telugu) and to one’s surprise, he has done it so beautifully that all your apprehensions will get shattered one by one, as the storyboard keeps moving on. One of the very many reasons that has attributed to this success is the detail to which the characterizations have been etched out. Thanks to this, no stone is left unturned and no shot is placed without any purpose in the film. Though a film with fantasy background, there is an earnest attempt to (logically) reason out every minute of the movie. Even the smallest of the knots get tied so nicely towards the end, that you get a sense of satisfaction of seeing a marvelous creation, as you leave the hall.
An added factor that adds zing to the interesting plot is the commendable acting by actor Sudeep (Kannada) who has taken all the pains to bring out the necessary emotions before an imaginary fly that was added only during post-production. The entire credit should go to him for convincingly showing us the menacing, heroic face of the lead protagonist, the House Fly. Complementing him in the acting part is the house fly itself with each of its emotions both naughty and wonderful, in its own way. The graphics team and the director should be patted on the back for such a neat presentation.
On the technical side, the music director looks to have played his part well in igniting the screens with the right kind of background score and the editing department has done a commendable job of projecting the director’s vision in the best crisp way possible. On the dialogue front, Crazy Mohan has imbibed the seriousness of the plot quite well and has added just the right of amount of comedy wherever required.
Developing on a tiny idea of his father, writer Vijayendra Prasad, Rajamouli has shown he is there to write a legendary history to leave behind him, with yet another wonderful film. With a nonsensical plot but with a sensible portrayal, this is a film that can be enjoyed by even small kids and also the adult in us. I can proudly say, this is a great product challenging some of the biggies in the world film industry. I’m sure, your toes will not leave the hall till the last reel rolls off, thanks to the movie’s content and the surprise package that has been beautifully added towards the last credits. You might have missed lots of flies at home, but don’t miss this House Fly at your nearby theatres. Go for it…
