What sets it apart
May contain story progression spoilers
Nani is reincarnated as a housefly and uses his new form to retaliate against Sudeep.
The housefly replaces the conventional muscle-bound protagonist while driving the action against a powerful industrialist.
Reincarnation, occult elements, romance, sentiment, and action are presented through an intentionally playful housefly-centered premise.
The film turns mundane spaces and insect abilities into elaborate action and revenge set pieces.
