Episode description
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!
