Ram Charan(Cherry) New Film Orange Telugu Movie Review:
Well It Seems to be Orange has low in Juice. After a Big Hit Like Magadheera Maga Fans and Ram Charan Had Great Expectation on This Film. But It was not worked so that Big.
Story:
Love is forever is an absurd thought, believes Ram (Ram Charan), a graffiti artist in Sydney. So he keeps falling with girls and parts ways with them. Quite contrast to his ideology, Jaanu (Genelia) believes in the idea of love and is on the quest for 'right guy' to live for life. Ram meets Jaanu, keeps persuading her to fall in love with him. She falls for his charms but when she learns that he can't love her forever, she gets jolt. Does love fade with the time or it is eternal? They argue on this for rest of the story.
Artist Performance:
Ram Charan Tej should be appreciated for accepting such a honest subject with a thin story line for his third movie. It shows that Charan is not trying to stick to stardom and is not willing to repeat the mistakes performed by stars. The entire films runs on his characterization. He is brilliant in the break-up scenes and I loved his don’t-give-a-damn body language. His dancesare full of energy and life.
orange Genelia’s characterization is just an extension to her Bommarillu character. However, the initial scenes involving her are not good. Hero character falls in love with heroine character in the movie because of freshness and innocence (which was there in Bommarillu character). However she didn’t carry such a freshness in this movie. Shahzahn Padamsee looks gorgeous with an endearing smile. Brahmanandam is entertaining in a full-length role of Puppy. Praneeth (Avakai Biryani fame) is very good and engaging as a friend of hero. His mixed the style of Siddharth and Sekhar Kammula in his dialogue delivery. Srinivas Avasarala (Ashta Chemma fame) is cool. Vennela Kishore doesn’t have much role to play. Prabhu is adequate in a role of negative shades. Naga Babu played a nice role and his character gives food for thought to hero. Gayatri Rao, Sanchitha Shetty and Kalpika are adequate.

Technical and Other Departments:
The script and scenes are written by the director is so silly that all the characters in the movie behave as if they don't do anything in life but bickering constantly. Ram Charan tells his story to a police officer (Prakash Raj) in Sydney and the police officer forgets his duty and listens to this guy's love story for half day. Looks like cops in Australia don't have much work.
Cinematographers Kiran and Rajashekar have provided bright visuals. Matching locations of Malaysia with Australia are good. M usic by Haaris Jayaraj is definitely qualitative and is more impressive on hears. Ruba Ruba song is best of the lot. On screen, the songs look same as all of them are rendered through male voice and Ram Charan constantly imitates Ghajini Surya steps.
None of the dialogue is unimpressive. Editor Marthand should have downsized the length of the movie. It is clear that producer Naga Babu has thrown in lot of money to give the grandeur look but most of it is unnecessary.
In Trivikram's films, you find every character in the movie mouths 'punch' dialogues. And in Bhaskar's films, everyone speak 'jeevita satyalu'. Such things become pointless when you don’t have substance to hold them. That is where the director Bhaskar has failed in the movie.

Analysis:
The film is an attempt to portray love in a different manner but in this process, the makers have created a mess of it. While the first half was somewhat confusing and complicated, the second half gets into some action but soon, even that fails to gather momentum. Overall, the film is good in technical and production values but very weak in content and concept. With literally no comedy, no romance and no sentimental scenes, this is neither a youth entertainer nor is it a mass treat
Final View:
There is phrase in Hindi - dialogue baaji band karo . We tend to feel the same when we watch the movie. Orange may be the symbol of love but we hardly find any love in the movie. Less love, more arguments about it. Youth audiences may like certain scenes and music but the movie on the whole doesn't appeal. Content wise, it is big let down. If You Are Die Hard Fan Of Mega Family Just Go and Watch it .
