Makkhi – a
bizarre yet amusing love story you won’t want to miss
Director SS
Rajamouli has inscribed a very absurd yet amusing story where logic and fantasy
are entwined with some great visualisation, wild imagination and computer
graphics. Unlike the conventional love stories, Makkhi is a total entertainer
with a different plot. In spite of having the clichéd commercial cinema
material this one stands out to be special. It is a Hindi dubbed version of the
blockbuster Telgu film Eega.
The movie
commences just like the other films unfold with a blank screen and a bedtime
story narrated by a father (Ajay Devgan’s voice) to his daughter. The story
kicks off with, “Once upon a time there was a fly..” The protagonist Jani
(Nani) is madly in love with his colleague Bindu (Samabtha Ruth Prabhu). Like any typical heroine she takes him for
granted and pays no heed to him. Enters Sudeep, the villain – a hot and bad guy
who is a business tycoon. He tries his
best to win Bindu with his bank balance and smart personality but fails to
impress her. Soon he realises that Jani is also in love with her. Sudeep kills
Jani ruthlessly stamping him under his feet and feels his heartbeat come to a
stop.
Jani’s soul is
reincarnated as a fly whereby he aims to protect his love and take revenge from
Sudeep. The fun and adventure of Makkhi
begins as he flaps his wings in wrath and his expressions are not like the
characters you would see in animated movies like A Bug’s Life but we see so
much personality in the insect with his tiny body, large eyes and lanky limbs. As
Makkhi drives Sudeep crazy, he reminds us of the comic book super heroes in a
dubious and hilarious way. Moreover, Bindu, a micro-artist in the film supports
him by equipping this little creature with iron claws, masks and dumbbells of
minute size that would help him become physically powerful to get his revenge.
One can feel the characteristics of Jani evidently in the tiny creature. Makkhi
is modest and one roots for his character. A wonderful instance of the
characters and the idea is truly superb.
The movie gets a
tad bit repetitive towards the end but it quite effortlessly is a complete
entertainer with Rajamouli’s spark of brilliance in a love story. Makkhi is a
very outlandish story but a must watch for those creative minds, kids and
adults too.
