Naan Ee review

The Plot
This is the most unlikely revenge story in the history of cinema. The dead hero getting rebirth as a housefly to take revenge on the villain is something that's highly crazy as an idea. The reason for his death is his romance with the beautiful heroine who is coveted by the womanizing villain, while she secretly reciprocates our hero, who is a typical good hearted romeo who has been pursuing her since 2 yrs.

What works

• The amazing VFX. The best seen in Indian cinema. Amazing detailing for the housefly (with glass, mask et al). The initial scenes detailing the fly's birth, its struggles to fly and to survive on a daily basis, endear the fly to us straightaway.
• Each scene where the fly troubles the villain is highly imaginative and funny. Sudeep has done a killer job as he must have done all those histrionics imagining the housefly near his face. Sudeep looks venomous yet classy as the rich villain. His costumes score while his suffering histrionics have bowled over the kids in particular. 
• The interval block is rocking to say the least
• Nani really impresses in the short part he appears as the romantic hero with a heart of gold. His youthful charm endears. 
• The songs by Keeravani especially Lava and Eeda are terrific. The melody songs are good too. The VFX for the Eeda song must be seen to be believed. His BGM is what takes the movie to the next level. Each emotion has been supported by the music. Marvelous work with the RR
• You'll root for the housefly all the way. Such heroism and such persistence in its pursuit for revenge. 
• All the steps that Sudeep takes just to prevent the fly from entering his space are intelligent yet funny. 
• Santhanam and Crazy Mohan ensure hearty laughs even in the short time that they appear on screen. 

In the Balance

• Samantha looks cute but is very puny and nothing special. Her character gets some value when she starts helping the fly with some indigenous ideas. 
• We need to overlook logic and just enjoy the fantasy. How can a fly be so intelligent and intuitive? That's cinema and S.S.Rajamouli has made it fantastic. 

What doesn't work

• The dragging climax when Sudeep wrecks havoc on his own house by opening fire just to kill our fly. This sequence goes on and on but it isn't boring
• The sequence in the 2nd half when black magic is called upon, to kill the fly. This sequence also drags.

VERDICT

The most unlikely revenge story and a tremendously entertaining one at that.
