Orange is undoubtedly and arguably the most awaited Telugu movie of the season. It is no wonder that Orange Movie Review is the most searched keyword today and it shows the craze and expectations on the film. Orange movie starring Ram Charan and Genelia has rocking music, rib tickling comedy, eye pleasing visuals, heart touching dialog and many more. Read on Orange Movie Review to know more about it…

Story:

Jaanu (Genelia) is a confused hyperactive girl who is desperately waiting to fall in love. She is in search of an everlasting love and Ram (Charan) falls for her in the very first look. After convincing Jaanu to fall in his love, he says that he can’t love her forever. He tells her that he can only love for sometime as he believes that true love doesn’t exist forever. Jaanu tries to avoid him, he tries to adore her. So where does this love story head?

What is the reason for Ram to lose belief in the concept of ‘love forever’ sums up Orange movie.

Analysis:

Orange starts off on a confusing note. Director thought of narrating this love story with a bang and keeps the audience glued right from the start.

But somehow it lacked clarity at the start. The characters behave in an awkward way and it takes time for the audience to get used to them and understand their ideology. The narration settles down after the first song and the pace picks up. Hero’s typical characterization is the conflict in this love story. And that very characterization is the driving factor of this story and infuses comedy into the proceedings. First half runs smoothly and aptly supported by good music.

As the story is simple and straightforward, the director didn’t go for unnecessary bangs for the sake of intermission. Second half too starts off good with some well written scenes. The scene where the hero plays truth and dare game and the scene in which he practically explains the difference between everlasting love and true love is excellent.


Even the flashback of the hero starts off well. Actually, the first 45 minutes after interval is the best part of the film. Orange Love Idi and Rooba Rooba are well picturized songs among all the six and these songs too fall during this period of time.

However, the graph rapidly falls right after Rooba Rooba song as the director starts to explain his ideology about everlasting love. The film heads towards climax in an unconvincing manner. Director lacked clarity during the last half hour that many of the audience in the auditorium will be left confused of what is going on the screen.

Hero changing his mindset all of a sudden is not brought on to the screen in a convincing way. This part needs more depth and good dialog to leave a mark on the audience, sadly that didn’t happen! To sum it up this Orange film is sweet up to seventy percent and turned utterly sour towards the end.

Performances:

Ram Charan has gone for a complete image changeover in this film. His previous two films are action based and targeted mainly at the mass audience. In Orange Ram Charan tried to woo the urban crowds and youngsters. He is simply rocking in this movie. His costumes, hairstyle and gadgets are sure going to become a rage among the college goers in coming days. Mega fans might be little bit disappointed with Charan’s dances as there are no landmark steps in this film. Most of the dance movements are stylish and cool and in sync with the music. Ram Charan is surely lagging behind Chiranjeevi and Pawan Kalyan in the comedy department. His comedy timing needs to be improved a lot. Saying so, he has given a matured performance in Orange. His performance towards the climax shows his caliber as an actor.

Genelia is as lively as ever. She is supreme cool in those ultra modern costumes and chic look. Her character has shades of Bommarillu Hasini, but not that much entertaining.

Shazahn Padamsee has good looks and has delivered a neat performance. She has the potential to become a busy heroine if given right opportunities.

Brahmanandam’s comedy as Puppy is good in few scenes. Avasarala Srinivas excelled in a tiny role called Pushkar. Nagababu is standard. Prakash Raj is perfect. Prabhu is neat. Vennela Kishore and the other person who played Charan’s friend are good. Manjula and others did their part.

Ramcharan and Genelia's Orange is a Good Entertainer

    ORANGE film songs, and colorful visuals tries to look at love from a fresh perspective
  
Love by default is a complex emotion. Ramcharan Teja, along with his director Bhaskar tries to explore this in Orange. Problem for both of them is that this one comes after the blockbuster Magadheera, and the director and the actor will have to keep up with high expectations.

The audio becoming a huge hit adds more to their worries. Let’s see if Orange breaks the shackles of these expectations. What’s it about: Ram (Ramcharan Teja) lives in Australia with his sister (Manjula) and brother in law (Sanjay Swaroop). He falls in love with Janu (Genelia), a college going girl and is trying to woo her. Problem is Ram is different.

He likes sky diving, is a painter but prefers graffiti, is a photographer but likes wild life photography. Quite romantic one would think but, Ram is too straightforward for a girl’s liking. In the process of making Janu fall for him, Ram tells her that he’s had nine girl friends already.

That wouldn’t be an issue too, but the problem gets worse – Ram thinks that love is good only for some period of time! Janu is in a fix - whether to accept Ram’s harsh truth about how love fades over a period of a time or to stick to her point that life-long love exists. The problem for her is that Ram is pretty convincing.

Even love stories of Janu’s friends, which seemed pretty and nice in the beginning, seem to fall apart. However, Janu is one adamant girl, and Ram, inspite of his weird theories, is very intense in love. Orange tells who is right and who is wrong.

A film like Orange, which questions the validity of love is a tough story to tell. Bhaskar should first get applause for choosing this kind of story and Ramcharan too deserves a tap on shoulder to act in this one. He is very convincing in his theory that over a period of time, love between couple evaporates into thin air, and that most couples have to resort to lies to stay in a relationship.

He uses good songs, and colorful visuals to communicate his theory. As far as actors are concerned, both Ramcharan and Genelia look million bucks. They not only compete with each other with their expressions, but also end up winning hearts. Shazahn Padamsee looks cute too, but her character isn’t too long to talk about her acting abilities.

Madhurima is there in a guest role too. Gayatri Rao of Happy Days, Vennela Kishore don’t have big roles either, but they do whatever they are given with conviction! Actors like Prakash Raj, Prabhu, Manjula, Sanjay Swaroop do their bits well, but it is Brahmanandam as Puppy, who gets more screen time than each of these actors.

He evokes maximum laughs in the theaters, and it is by trying to convince him that the director tries to prove his ideology. Naga Babu has a very small role, and he shows how subtlety convinces more than loud theorizing. He is just terrific!. However, making a film such as this one is like walking on a tight rope, and Bhaskar isn’t always successful with this.


The biggest problem in the movie is why Ram actually falls in love 10 times, when he himself says that he doesn’t believe that love doesn’t last for long! The director carefully avoids this question, and weaves a story to convince his point once, twice, again and again and again.

Also the director doesn’t establish why the heroine, even though she is convinced with Ram’s theories, still wants to have a long lasting love. Yes he questions today’s love stories but he doesn’t come up with a solution other than Stephen Covey’s famous words – “Keep Loving”! Also the problem never gets to its emotional reason, even with a hackneyed flashback.

The final reason why our hero starts to accept change is far from convincing. On the whole, even though the beginning of the second half starts off well, it becomes too long till the climax. Cinematography by Rajasekhar is great. He uses Australia to the maximum, and creates great visuals.

He excels even in few scenes that have been shot in Mumbai. Dialogues and screenplay are good, for most part of the movie. Harris Jayaraj’s songs are a hit already, and they are shot well. Re-recording adds a lot of feel to the movie. Editing by Marthand K.Venkatesh is to the point.

Few of Charan’s fans might be disappointed the way his dances have been choreographed. Fight scenes were mostly unnecessary and the skydiving fight is pure indulgence.  Love, the way it is seen these days, needs to be questioned. However, that doesn’t make any sense when such a topic is dealt with half baked theories about it, formed because of one or two emotional situations.

This is Orange’s short coming, otherwise it is a good entertainer, with good comedy and is over all a positive movie. It's fate, however depends on how the so-called masses take it!
