On this episode of Adventures Through Asian Cinema, your hosts Ben & Jack talk about the 2012 film Eega, directed by S.S. Rajamouli (RRR, Baahubali).

Nani is a flower decorator, madly in love with his neighbour Bindhu. He gets killed by the baddie, Sudeep, a powerful businessman. Nani comes back as a housefly to get his revenge. That’s it. That’s the movie!

If you watch one film about a fly’s revenge, make it Eega! Listen as we discuss our brief history with Indian cinema, the character dynamics at play in Eega, Rajamouli’s wider filmography, and the wide appeal of this type of film.
