An absolutely infectious piece of blockbuster cinema, S.S. Rajamouli's Eega transports the viewer into an experience likely like none they've ever seen before, being a heightened piece of pop entertainment in which the very nature of how one sees the day-to-day is subverted through its high-conceptual framework. The story of a man reincarnated as a housefly who seeks vengeance against the evil businessman who not only took his life but also has his sights set on the woman he loves, Eega is a high-concept fantasy which provides ample opportunities for unique and compelling visual constructions, and the astute pairing of director S.S. Rajamouli and cinematographer K.K. Senthil Kumar don't disappoint. Together they create such an ingenious and assured film, one in which the integration between digital vfx and live-action has expressive utility, a symbiotic relationship imbued with a consistent sense of vitality. From set piece to set piece, Eega is an utterly engaging piece of pop entertainment, taking advantage of the malleability of its heightened premise to deliver a highly digestible, throughly engaging piece of escapism which galavants between comedy, romance, and action/adventure with ease, delivering a one-of-a-kind experience.
