Synopsis

Nani (Nani) is madly in love with neighbour Bindhu (Samantha), who playfully keeps him guessing about her feelings for her. Sudeep (Sudeep), a millionaire and a womanizer, lusts after Bindhu and murders Nani when he comes to know of his love for her. Nani is reborn as a housefly and swears revenge!

Critic's Review

Rajamouli's 'Naan Ee' is a film that requires suspension of disbelief but it goes about its task in such a brilliant manner that you have no choice but to surrender willingly — and gleefully — to its charms. It is a premise that is sure to make many a filmmaker smack his forehead and exclaim 'Why didn't I think of this?' As in his biggest hit 'Magadheera', revenge and reincarnation are the themes of the director's latest offering, but the difference here is that the hero is reborn as one of the lowliest of creatures — a housefly. And, what a difference it makes!

This 'Ee' isn't one that you casually dismiss with a swat of your hand but one that makes the antagonist sweat and finally fall prey to its plan. The casting of Sudeep as the businessman with a roving eye is clearly a masterstroke. The role requires someone who is charismatic but still conveys wickedness. An established Tamil actor might have made the character look formidable, but Sudeep, a popular hero in Kannada films, is relatively a new face to Tamil audiences. And so, he makes for a fearsome but vulnerable foe.

Rajamouli smartly does away with Nani's romantic track in a brisk and delightful manner to let Sudeep and 'Ee' take centrestage and the duo doesn't disappoint even for a moment. The director comes up with inventive ways (right from the incessant buzzing around Sudeep and disturbing his sleep to make him crash his car and burn his house down) on how a small insect can torment a human being. And he treats these scenes with the right amount of lightness of touch -- even as you laugh at the plight of the villain, you never lose track of the fly's objective of killing him. The director has you so engrossed in the film that you don't even notice the absence of Santhanam (who is often the welcome presence in most films nowadays). When he pops up in the second half (in a rather brief but funny scene), you actually let out a silent groan fearing that a comedy track might hinder the film's pace.

The film is a technical triumph, especially the visual effects by Makuta VFX. Barring the scene when it hatches from the egg and certain close-ups that clearly scream animation, the housefly is a success, right from the red compound eyes and body hair to the almost transparent wings. The background score by Maragadhamani (known as Keeravani in Telugu) perfectly complements the film. The songs, rather than being speed bumps in the screenplay, actually take it forward.

Rajamouli ends with a killer punchline that isn't uttered and your only reaction as it flashes on the screen is to stand and applaud. This is a bravura piece of commercial filmmaking that is an unqualified triumph in every aspect.

GOOD MOVIE... GOOD GRAPHICS, They story was also different. The director has got the best out of the cast including Nani, Samantha and Kannada star Sudeep. In fact Sudeep takes a major chunk of the honours. He steals the show with his power packed performance. Nani gets a small role and handles it well

After watching Billa2, i thought any movie will be great. But Naan E is really great with fantastic graphic, fast paced and no single scene is boring. Every thing handled perfectly by Director-Great work. Sudeep as Villian and Samantha as heroin is perfect for the character. Movie is superb. People should realise that even with thin story line and with little budget movie can be made watchable.

Wonderful movie, amazed to see everyone in the theatre fixed to the screen till the end. People who started to move once the credits started to roll, sat back to watch till the last second. A very good entertainer, very good CGA, wonderful background score. Sudeeps acting was wonderful. All together a wonderful experience.

its creativity at the best. Rajmouli sir proves again he does not need big star cast to prove his mettle. 2 years was really worth waiting for this movie. I have been continously getting updated on the progress of the movie & was really exicted to watch the movie yesterday. Hats off to Rajmouli sir. One of the best directors in South India.
