Kruthi Grover of The New Indian Express wrote that Eega lacks a proper structure despite having effective visual effects and editing. She added that the film turns into a "silly animated movie for kids" after the fly's birth.[63] Reviewing Makkhi for Dainik Bhaskar, Mayank Shekhar said the film's premise is stretched beyond its potential and that as a result, it "just goes on and on and on" in its "original, tacky, raw form".[61]
Adam Nayman of The Ringer listed Eega among "The 25 Best Foreign Films of the Decade".[153] In August 2015, Pooja Darade of The Times of India included Eega in her list of "Telugu movies one must watch before dying"; she said it "has set a high standard of how creativity can be used effectively".[154] In an April 2016 interview with The Hindu, Tamil actor Suriya said films like Sagara Sangamam (1983), Eega, Baahubali: The Beginning, and Manam (2014) are remembered much longer than more conventional films.[155]

Rajamouli frequently speaks about his intention to make a film based on the Indian epic Mahabharata in the future.[119][120] He thinks it will be at least a four-part project requiring a time period of six to ten years.[121][122][123] In May 2017 he noted, "I don't want to compromise in making it and the huge project is going to take 10 years perhaps. I am apprehensive as to whether I will be able to execute such a technically-superior project (in the immediate future)." He had also revealed that the film series may not feature established movie stars. "This is the kind of film that will not work out if I rope in stars. Once the different characters are designed, I would have to hunt for the right artists and mould them accordingly," he said.[119][124] In July 2022 he said, Mahabharata has been my long, long, long dream project, but it will take a long time for me to step into that ocean. Before I step into Mahabharata I want to make, maybe, three or four films."[43]
When Willie Hateraka, belonging to the Maori sect of New Zealand, working as the coach of Indian Army's Rugby team saw the film Sye, he was so impressed with the movie that he recommended Rajamouli's name to the International Rugby Board as the director for their proposed feature film based on Rugby. Hateraka, who couldn't even understand English properly nor the language of the film, understood the emotions of the film. The film went on to be one of the only 3 films that the Rugby Board found suitable as promotional material for the game of Rugby.[24]
EXPECTATIONS Eega is the latest Telugu blockbuster that made waves just a few weeks ago and now when the film is arriving in Hindi as Makkhi, one expects the film to find added audience for itself. However the same cannot be said about the music which, despite popular down South, isn't quite getting much time for itself to make a splash in Bollywood. With the album hitting the stands just days before the film's arrival in theatres, one wonders what composer M M Kreem has to offer. MUSIC It is a very good start that Makkhi gets with a love song 'Are Are Are'. While the composition is as sweet and simple as it gets, the effect is enhanced further with Neelesh Misra's lyrics coming across as a breeze and K.K. doing very well behind the mike as well. This is the kind of love song that would have easily found some good popularity coming its way already had it featured in a Bollywood biggie. New entrant in Hindi film music, Anuj Gurwara, is roped in for 'Thoda Hans Ke' and he does well in a song where he is also the lyricist. Pretty much continuing from where 'Are Are Are' left, this one has a South touch to it and one does enjoy what composer M M Kreem offers here. Though the song isn't the kind that makes for a chartbuster, for an album where everything was equivalent to being bonus no less, 'Thoda Hans Ke' isn't a bad bet. Neelesh Misra returns with a song of vengeance, 'Naam Apun Ka Jaani'. This one is all set to be a riot on screen, what the protagonist returning as a 'makkhi' and getting his revenge. Forceful and ferocious to the core, this one should make frequent appearance as a part of the film's background score. With Western arrangements adding to the pace and an overall energetic feel to it, it is sung well by Deepu and Rahul Sipligunj who bring just the right spice that one would have associated with a theme song like this. With the 'remix version' bringing the voice of a 'makkhi', it only adds on to the fun. Remember the music video of a non-film song that was shot with Krishan Kumar years ago, 'Guzare Zamaane Yaad Aate Hai'? The same song is recreated by MM Kreem (who had also done the original) in the form of 'Lava Lava'. This time around the singer is Anuj Gurwara and he justifies his inclusion by coming up with a rendition which is in complete contrast to his work just a few minutes back in 'Thoda Hans Ke'. A theme song written by Sravana Bhargavi, it should add on to the film's narrative. Last to arrive is 'Sapnon Ki Ek' which is sung by Kaala Bahirava. With a fairy tale base to it, it is a core situational song written by Anuj Gurwara and doesn't quite add much weight to the album musically. In fact one waits to see how this slow moving number really adds on to the film's narrative since as a standalone number, it doesn't cut much ice. OVERALL Makkhi is largely made of theme and situational numbers that should make a good impression along with the film's narrative. However commercially there isn't much in the offering except for 'Are Are Ar' which, unfortunately, has hardly been promoted. Though it would be futile to expect the album registering good sales, the soundtrack should make the film a fairly entertaining watch. OUR PICK(S) Are Are Are, Naam Apun Ka Jaani 2ff7e9595c
