" He walked straight into the man,who turned his eyes to him ; the eyes were gray and calm; the boy knew suddenly that they felt the same thing, and he could speak as he would not speak to a stranger anywhere else.
"That isn't real, isn't it?" the boy asked, pointing down.
"Why, yes, it is now," the man answered.
"It's not a movie set or trick of some kind?"
":No. It's summer resort. It's just been completed. It will be opened in a few weeks. "
"Who built it?"
"I did:"
"Whats your name?"
"Howard Roark"
"Thank you," said the boy. He knew that the steady eyes looking at him understood everything these two words had to cover.
........ Roark did not know that he had given someone the courage to face a life time.

Thank you Raja Mouli,
These are the dark hours of Andhra Pradesh. Development is all time low. Leaders are much concerned with their bank balances and property accumulation. Youngsters adapted to a living style that suits malls and parties.Parents are busy accumulating funds to see to that their children sail in life without any difficulty. Morality hit an all time low. Temples busy with materialistic devotion.Hard work and determination are slowly becoming reference words. In these dark times where nothing seemed positive and encouraging, "EEGA" proved what excellence is all about.In these turbulent times "EEGA" showed what can be done with a positive set of mind. In these spend thrift times "EEGA" showed what economics is all about. In these dark times "EEGA" showcased how to fight against tough times and emerge victorious. "EEGA" brought back the spirit which gives us the thrust to do that thing which we stopped fearing failure.
This is one of the finest hours of Telugu cinema.Wake up. Its time to celebrate. Finally it took a fly to crown Telugu Cinema in the realms of Indian Movie land. Before you read any of the following paragraphs, go for this magnum opus , watch it on the big screen and celebrate the vision of a director who worked tirelessly for the past two years to entertain us. Every frame of EEGA showcases the brilliance of Rajamouli. This is his hour. In fact this entire journey of EEGA opened new vistas in film marketing.
Its quite unnecessary to discuss story and music of EEGA here as the innovative marketing strategy of the director revealed everything at the initiation of project itself. The entire team designed the movie in a never seen before way. The photography is awesome. In fact it is the main strength of the movie. All the ways thumbs up for the graphics team as well as the designer of the fly.The dialogues are minimum and well written .The editing of the movie helps the pace of the movie.
Being a visual drama for most of the time the music department has a lot of responsibility and Keeravani comes out with flying colours. The reincarnation loop made the crowds go berserk in the theatres.The songs are situational and never interrupt the story. The BGM is a treat and the best in the recent movies.
All said and done its the vision of the director that makes this film a lot different from its predecessors. In fact the much hyped Robo fails to match up with technical standards of his film. In every perspective this movie is the first of its kind in India. The premise itself is addicting. The director never resorts to a cinematic liberty though he has a lot of scope. He framed the story within the limitations of a fly and he worked out wonder with his Graphics team.
He detailed the movie in a impeccable manner. The sequences which lead the fly to discover its previous birth are very effective and intelligent. The way the fly designs its schemes to torment the villain tells a lot about the hard work done behind the scenes. With in no time you root for the fly to emerge victorious in the tough battle it undertakes to avenge its murder in previous birth. The training sequences are worth a watch for every kid in this country. The heroine being a micro artist and one who understands the sign language signifies the future course between her and the fly.
I never loved any of Rajamouli's films. Its certain scenes in the films.....like the interval sequence in Simhadri, the brutal atack on the kid and aftermath in Chatrapathi, The entire flashback episode in Vikramakudu, the duel between Yama and the thief in Yamadonga .....that defined his mastery over the medium. Perhaps the commercial overtones of telugu cinema made him compromise at every level. Its maryadaramana that presented us a different Rajamouli. He made wonders in that movie. But with EEGA he showed his craft. His mastery over the medium, his hard work in detailing, his respect for the technicians and his down to earth attitude are unique in a ego driven field. All credit to the man who made my dream of a movie which stands on par with Hollywood come true.
Its of first of its kind movie in India. Completely original and highly creative this fly makes inroads into the areas where Telugu's films never traversed. Its brings the glory to the field which never was able to show case the talents it groomed. Its a tribute to all those greats whose talent never crossed the state. For this raja mouli should be congratulated with pure happiness.
Please don't search for mistakes. There will be such in every frame. But its time to savour the dish rather than complaining about the colour of the plate.
Its a sin to watch this movie on TV. Some one gave you a chance in these Vulgar times to celebrate a pleasant two hour 30 minutes with your family. Some one offered a joy of watching an Indian designed animation of highest quality to your kids. Some one has made the telugu people feel great about their own race. Go. celebrate and smile to your heart full at the end of movie as the thief flies to dubai.
In the movie the villain opens the window and the air gushes out the tormenting fly on to the roads. The fly watches helplessly the speeding car on the way to exploit his lady love in his previous birth. All of a sudden a convoy of a leader shows up.A police inspector asks the villain to slow his car till the convoy passes. The fly watches this, turns back, finds the approaching vehicles and flies in a planned manner to reach the top of the first vehicle of the convoy and then the chase begins. Its a treat to watch the eega jump from the vehicle to the villains car.After a long time i watched a movie with awe and admiration alike.
once again thank you...RAJAMOULI.
