Naan Ee Movie Review

Naan Ee - This fly flies high !

After making his mark as a successful director who blends fantasy tales with commercial elements, directorSS Rajamouli of Vikramarkudu, Magadheera and Mariyadha Ramannafame is trying his luck in Tamil with his bilingual Naan Ee.

The movie is a perfect blend of romance, humour, revenge and sentiments. 

Three cheers to Rajamouli for making a movie that has visual effects which is on par with films made in the West. For making a movie around a fly needs guts. Rajamouli has taken it in his stride to deliver a convincing tale that is racy, riveting and entertaining.

The movie boasts of no big story. It is just about a youth, who is killed by a baddie reincarnates as a housefly and takes revenge on the killer. But the screenplay and unfolding of events and the scenes involving housefly's acts makes it an engrossing affair.

Naan Ee has richness, grandeur, fantasy, fun and everything. With a strong technical crew around, Rajamouli has pulled  it off.Samantha, Nani, Sudeep play the lead roles. Music is byMaragathamani while Senthil Kumar handles cinematography.

Story

Sudeep (Sudeep Kicha) is a business tycoon who gets everything he wants in earth with his money. He lures women and gets them in his couch. He comes across Bindhu (Samantha) who is a miniature artiste and a social worker.

In the pretext of giving her huge donation, he wants her to fall in his ambit. But she love her neighbour and a simple youth Nani.

Shocked to know about her affair, Sudeep kills Nani and makes everyone believe that it was an accident. But Nani is rebron as housefly immediately and now he is hellbent on taking revenge onSudeep. Can a housefly do this impossible act. 

Watch the movie for the rest.

Performance

Nani should be given a pat. Though he appears just half-an-hour, he does give his best. He is enthusiastic and bubbly.

Samantha hogs enough screen space,. She is no cliched heroine here running around tree and romancing and disappearing after a few scenes. her role has a major bearing on the story. But the real scene-stealer is Sudeep.

A numero uno actor in Kannada filmdom, he has gathered guts to play a baddie in this movie. His performance makes one sit up and watch.

At his best in second half, Sudeep is awesome as villain. Santhanam makes a cameo appearing in a sequence. 

Analysis

Rajamouli's Naan Ee is India's answer top the west that India too can make movies with amazing visual effects. The  housefly and its antics are captured well. The team behind the computer graphics and visual special effects deserves all pat. Maragathamani and Senthil Kumarcombines well to give their best.

PVP Cinemas should be given a pat for producing a mammoth movie that is strikingly different and entertaining. Rajamouli has added one more feather in his cap with Naan Ee.
