[selvakumar]

I think NOV and for that matter Gnani are correct but they should understand Rajamouli and telugu cinema's background. For a film industry where only masalas are welcomed and preferred by people, you can't expect something to change overnight. Rajamouli has come a long way from his mass movies to this level. Read and understand with that context.

when big actors who has a big pull of audience are not ready to take social issues in their movies.. how u all can expect a director who experiments without any big star to do all the social awarness.. that too it is not a straight tamizh film.. the film is mainly targeted for Andhra audience.. whatever they got from Thamizh, Malayalam are bonus

yes it is better than many tamil movies.. thats the reason for my long opinion / review i posted..

Sakala- I beg to differ, to me an E taking revenge can be watched for 10 minutes. I would rather watch Tom and Jerry. As I said there were a few good moments in the movie to enjoy like E exersicing and irritating Sudeep to a certain level.

To me after sometime the E became a nonsense, trust me there are other ways to finish E than just a Hit. All I am saying is there will be another bunch of jokers already thinking about a Sequel for E or thinking about Naan Thavalai, Naan Cockroach or even an Naan Kosu - IMO kosu is more irritaing than E.

I didn't even know who is Rajamouli before the release of Naan E .I don't bother how were his previous movies. Basically I am not a big fan of animated movies.
But Naan E impressed me not just for the animation work ,but the gripping entertainment with more of technical work with the budget restriction.

For a telugu film industry, films like Yamadonga and Sye are too good. Even for *normal* people, they are good movies unless someone wants to wear the hypocritical tag.

[selvakumar]

Joe,

Unlike you, I have seen all movies of Rajamouli. I have seen how he is slowly deviating from mainstream telugu cinema one step at a time. He may not be a great director for some. But I feel he will go places in the future if he continues to deliver good movies. Mariyadha ramanna and Naan E are one stop towards that. NOV and Gnanai expect him to do that just like what they expect from a tamil film director. I don't find fault in that since they need not view things with a background. That was my point.

[selvakumar]

M'dheera the idea was good but execution wise fails way behind Naan EE. And it had too much unbearable stunts.

"masala-naalum oru nyAya dharmam vENdAmA" 'nRadhu admissible question 'ngREn.
Naan E was decidedly outrageous in concept and executed well, which makes it palatable. This cannot simply be extended to say every sloppily made film, hiding under the pretext of being a 'masala' and demanding it be cut some slack, should be equally liked. That's all milord.

[kid-glove]

And kid you made a post on BB's fly episode and this film. Please write more if you have something or point me to that post.


Nothing too particular.

But I was interested in knowing whether Rajamouli gaaru had seen it. The fly hatching out as a prelude to BB's bottle episode (best of all time?) 'The Fly', and the whole mechanics of Fly vs Walt in the episode, the setups, like a one act play in one set-up, I initially thought it was not CG. But it is..

http://www.fxguide.com/featured/Breaking_Bad_Entity_FX/

Mighty impressive. Actually I like the fact that in BB, there's no silly closeups of Fly's mass pose, dancing etc (rubbing of Tarsus after Walt's fall, the only exception). The initial parts of Fly hatching out is not CG (in Walt's place? The first and last shot are from his room.)

It's impressive to do this in Television.

Coming to Naan-E, I don't think it's as simple as people make out. To make a series of set-up's work purely on the psychology plane was impressive. Sudeep was impressive. The threat of the Fly seemed very real, with combination of shot-making and his acting. It is make-believe. But it was mostly make-believe without slapstick nonsense. To add CG Fly later in to the frame, would mean they had specifically storyboarded it. There's a vision and imagination in most of the shots. It's praiseworthy to my mind.

AF,
Is there any specific definition for Masala ? I am not clear in this regard .. If somebody tell me the story of Ee before I watched the movie , definitely i would have thought it is crap .. Even now , If Ee replaced with a Ghost , It fits into a typical Telugu masala I understood ..But here characterization and visual of Ee make the huge difference ..Everybody know what is going to happen at the end and nobody expecting story line here ,but director managed to make the audience entertained just by visuals and the portrayal of villian character (and ofcourse the actor choosen justified it ).

One side being a great fan of serious movies like Mahanathi , I am a huge fan of commercial movies like Sathileelavathi , Apoorva sakotharargal as well .. So I think there is a difference between commercial movie and masala movie ..

and on top of everything , I shouldn't have a bias since the artists invloved in this movie were not even known for me before . I saw sudeep in celebrity Cricket and Rajamouli is known to me only after my Telugu colleague shown me the trailor of Eee.

Ofcourse , I am not a follower of Hollywood movies ,so I won't compare everything with Hollywood .

AF,
Is there any specific definition for Masala ? I am not clear in this regard .. If somebody tell me the story of Ee before I watched the movie , definitely i would have thought it is crap .. Even now , If Ee replaced with a Ghost , It fits into a typical Telugu masala I understood ..But here characterization and visual of Ee make the huge difference ..Everybody know what is going to happen at the end and nobody expecting story line here ,but director managed to make the audience entertained just by visuals and the portrayal of villian character (and ofcourse the actor choosen justified it ).

Nothing too particular.

But I was interested in knowing whether Rajamouli gaaru had seen it. The fly hatching out as a prelude to BB's bottle episode (best of all time?) 'The Fly', and the whole mechanics of Fly vs Walt in the episode, the setups, like a one act play in one set-up, I initially thought it was not CG. But it is..

http://www.fxguide.com/featured/Breaking_Bad_Entity_FX/

Mighty impressive. Actually I like the fact that in BB, there's no silly closeups of Fly's mass pose, dancing etc (rubbing of Tarsus after Walt's fall, the only exception). The initial parts of Fly hatching out is not CG (in Walt's place? The first and last shot are from his room.)

It's impressive to do this in Television.

Coming to Naan-E, I don't think it's as simple as people make out. To make a series of set-up's work purely on the psychology plane was impressive. Sudeep was impressive. The threat of the Fly seemed very real, with combination of shot-making and his acting. It is make-believe. But it was mostly make-believe without slapstick nonsense. To add CG Fly later in to the frame, would mean they had specifically storyboarded it. There's a vision and imagination in most of the shots. It's praiseworthy to my mind.

So you reject right-wing Mainstream Hollywood influence, but parade the American TV influence. You utter Yank-hating hypocrite.

[kid-glove]

Mr.Old Joe, Time for you and your buddies to update knowledge of American films and TV. To know where the idea and so-called creativity comes from. :poke:

[selvakumar]

My comment was about the inconsistency people are showing in the hub with respect to their stand on commercial/masala movies. Posts followed by Bimmer's review were just made out of emotion with a clear target. It was funny because the same junta tries to criticize fanaticism and how fans react in their respective thread when someone posts a negative review.

They are even trying to be the *fans of Naan E*. What is the difference? Naan E kku negative review vae illama irukkanuma. Or they want everyone to accept it with age old crap 'this is better than all craps - so swallow it'. You know what a film is going to be when it is a pure masala and you can judge it from a distance. If you still go and waste your time because you don't prefer them, you are a stupid. My comment was about the *overall* context and not just with this.

BTB, I would like to remind Sakala's own review for some masala films in the last few years. :P Selective Amnesia I would say. Why am I even explaining this!?
For him, anything comes from the big two is OK but when others do similar ones it is crap. IMO, I only see consistency in NOV and Bala Karthik when they review a film. At least, they are clear (Bala's views on Kamal films excluded :P )

P.S: I liked Naan E. I even liked Raja mouli's films. My comment is on how people react here.

[Nerd]

Saw it yesterday. First 20 minutes or so was very blade / loud / crass / badly acted like typical Telugu movies. And the last 15 mins or so (save for the climox, I am talking about the tandra scenes) were very uninteresting and yawn-inducing. But the rest of the film was very imaginative. The EE's intro scene with the soap bubbles was kaala kaaminga saar type. I know that the jokes were just a mere extension of that dharmaththin thalaivan scene, but I thoroughly enjoyed them. And stunning graphics too. Definitely worth a watch for the wildly imaginative EE portions. The miniature masks / weight lifting etc,. fantastic. Rajmouli saar, well done. I never thought I would say this after watching Magadheeraa and this film's trailer.

Sam was very sweet but can't sinmayeee's tupping. I was like Sudheep with the EE inside my eardrums whenever Sam spoke.

[joe]

Saw it yesterday.
Big screen ? or PC ? I am sure it makes a big difference .

[Nerd]

On TV joe. Relatively large screen / home theater system etc., Usually that's how I watch movies.. Obviously nothing beats the theater experience, and I love watching movies on theater, but for people like us who are not blessed as much, this is the only way to watch movies.

[kid-glove]

Yeah, This was especially meant for large screen experience.. But sufficiently large screen with good sound system, on good print, should still be good..

With Naan-E, SSR truly enhances and makes a wild move from Telugu cinema, which are uniformly blade / loud / crass / badly acted because it dispense its trademark 'mainstream hero' and gets an insect to fill in(thank god). Even Magadheera, which still has impressive aural-visual design and execution. But between N-E, Magadheera, latter is literally a waste in TV. N-E is still rather good, and imaginative. Because it goes beyond nice sets, elaborate mural-like feel.. Design, planning and production all truly deserving credit.

Colleague’s taunt inspired Makkhi: Director- times of india

It was a colleague's challenge that prompted director SS Rajamouli to make a film with a housefly playing the hero. In his soon-to-release film Makkhi, the dubbed version of Telugu blockbuster Eega, a murdered lover is reborn as a super fly to take revenge.
So, what made him turn housefly into hero? Rajamouli says, "A contemporary once told me that I only make films with superstars, to ensure box office success. I took it up as a challenge and decided to make a film with a housefly as the protagonist. The live action animation was a learning experience. Thankfully, the Telugu film was a huge success and it silenced my detractors." He adds, "Eegawas actually my father's idea. After that remark by my colleague, when I was thinking of making an experimental small-budget film, I decided to go ahead with it. The results are there for everyone to see."
The Tamil and Malayalam version of Eega, Naane and Eecha respectively, were hits, too. In his career spanning 12 years, Rajamouli has directed nine Telugu films. Two of his Telugu hits have been remade in Hindi — Rowdy Rathore and Son Of Sardaar. His Magadheera (2009), which stars southern superstar Ram Charan, is also slated to be remade in Hindi.

Makkhi, being released in Hindi by Reliance Entertainment, is produced by Sai Korrapati and D Suresh Babu. Starring Nani, Sudeep and Samantha Prabhu, it releases on October 12.

In numerology, it is so+so+so.........so *SPECIAL*. October - 10 (Sun). If you are born on 1, 10, 19 and 28, the power just doubles. Out of that, 10 is more powerful than all other three numbers. Added to that *all dominant* personalities were born in the 20th century when the sum of the last two digits of the year was 10. In the case of Rajamouli, it is an amazing formulation.. 10 - October (10) - 19 (which is again ten) 73 (which is again ten but this one makes it even more powerful).
10-10-"10""10".

Let us take sivaji sir - 1 - October (10) - 19 (which is ten again), 28 (which is ten again)
1 - 10 - "10" "10"

Bill gates - 28 - October - 1955

Anupama Chopra's review: Makkhi

Rating: ****

Makkhi is the most outlandish film I've seen in years. It's also the most fun I've had in a theatre recently. This is the dubbed Hindi version of Eega, which was released earlier in Tamil, Telegu and Malayalam, but nothing has been lost in translation. Makkhi is the story of a young man named Jani who gets killed because he loves a girl coveted by a lecherous billionaire.

Jani is then reborn as an insect but he doesn't let his size get in his way. He takes revenge for his murder by slowly destroying the billionaire's peace of mind, his business and his power. It takes courage to pick a story as weird as this. Clearly writer-director SS Rajamouli is equipped with guts and a ferocious imagination.

First, he creates a creepy villain: Sudeep is wonderful as the baddie unhinged by a fly. Then Rajamouli imbues a fly with enough personality to take on this villain. It's a tightrope act, and there are times when you think the film has gone too far. At one point, the fly is communicating with his girlfriend by writing with her tears.

But Rajamouli keeps you hooked. By the end, I was clapping and rooting for the fly. How many films can get you emotionally invested in an insect? Makkhi is a mad roller coaster ride that's worth taking.

The original for Naan Eee... :lol:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQ7UTuMdia8

Here comes the confirmation that its a copy ..... :rotfl:


Eega is not a copy of Cockroach: SS Rajamouli

Director SS Rajamouli, who is busy promoting Makkhi, the Hindi version of his recent blockbuster movie Eega, has denied the charges of copying 2010 Australian flick Cockroach. The Tollywood filmmaker says that Eega is completely an original story and he has no substantial proof to prove it.
SS Rajamouli's denial came when he was quizzed about it during a recent promotional event of the movie Makkhi in North India. The director said that Eega is a unique story created by himself, but he does not have any concrete evidence to prove. He added that he is disappointed by the parallels between Eega and Cockroach.
SS Rajamouli said that he has watched several Hollywood animation movies while making Eega. He has also watched Fluke, which is a revenge drama of dog. He added that Cockroach itself was a copy of director Carlo Carlei's 1995 English movie Fluke. The comparison between Eega and Cockroach has upset the director.
The critically acclaimed Tollywood filmmaker further said that he had penned the script of Eega before watching any of the Hollywood movies and it is just a coincidence that both have similar storyline. But SS Rajamouli insisted that Eega is an original piece written by himself.
However, Eega has done a wonderful collection at the domestic and international Box Office. Its Hindi version Makkhi has also garnered rave reviews from Bollywood superstar Shahrukh Khan, filmmaker Raju Hirani and director Rohit Shetty who recently watched the film at a special screening held in Mumbai.

I believe we should give the benefit of doubt to SSR. The interview he gave to Rajeev Masand on CNN IBN over this issue looked genuine. At the worst you can call it an inspiration (Cockroach was a short film). The success of Naan E was it's execution and not the storlyine which was revealed in the trailer itself.
And no one except the maker itself will know the exact truth with respect to the originality of the idea.
