Eega is the only Telugu film on the list. In the film, a housefly plays the protagonist’s role, while Kannada actor Sudeep plays the antagonist, who kills a young man who falls for the same girl as him. Makkhi is Rajamouli’s official debut in Bollywood although many of his films have been remade in Hindi. For film-goers, used to seeing cute dogs, cats, monkeys or deadly snakes in Indian cinema or dinosaurs or Godzillas in Hollywood, a not-so-loveable housefly may seem like a not-so-superhit idea. However, Eega has already rocked box office in Southern India. What remains to be seen is how it will fair nationwide.
