Makki originally made in Telugu as Eega, is a hyped movie both for the new concept and for the director.
The director
Rajamouli is acclaimed to be the most successful director of present day Telugu
industry. It is very much evident from his zero ‘flops’.
Eega is based on punarjanm
that is not at all new concept for Indian cinema. But the treatment given to
the basic idea is entirely different and so the film is unique. Here, the hero dies and takes re birth in the form of a
housefly and despite his tiny and powerless body challenges the villain and
succeeds in destroying him. So,
definitely people will be curious to know how. This curiosity is what sells the
movie to kids and adults alike.
The director has showed
intelligence in framing the scenes of revenge. To show how a makki can fight
against a human is really difficult and Rajamouli has made a lot of effort to
bring out some logic in it.
The team has done a
mazing work with the graphics. And the graphics are used to the maximum extent
but doesn’t feel like they have been over used. The ‘makki’ looks good and does
dance, exercise and even taunts the villain. This is the fun part of the movie.
On the other side, has lots of violence and not really fit for children. (Never
mind the censor certificate of ‘U/A’)
The opening of the
movie is very cheerful and has a fresh feel. The love story until the death of the hero is dealt in a pleasant way. The actors have also done their best. A special mention goes to Sudeep,
who played the negative role. Song compositions are one of the best in recent
Telugu/Hindi movies. Especially the song ‘arey arey arey’ has a wonderful
Choreography as well. It’s a treat.
In spite of all
these pluses there are also negatives. Violence and vengeance is what have a
strong mark on the whole movie. The action scenes are too loud and have a
jarring effect on your ears and also strain your eyes. The logic of course is
not sound (if there is any!) and the climax is not that convincing.
To conclude, I
would say it’s a great effort but the question is whether the effort is worthy?
