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.
