Orange movie re-release took the cake – An year after the re-release
Timing is crucial in cinema, re-released last year on March 25th, is evidenced by the box office fate of Bommarillu Bhaskar’s “Orange”. Ram Charan had an exceptional start to his career with “Chirutha” and “Magadheera”, directed by Puri Jagannath and SS Rajamouli respectively. Naturally, expectations for his third film were sky-high, making it challenging for any film to withstand such pressure.
Various theories persist regarding the commercial failure of the Ram Charan and Genelia-starrer “Orange”. Some attribute it to poor production planning, Genelia’s portrayal, or the absence of significant commercial peaks. Regardless, it took actor-producer Naga Babu years to overcome financial setbacks related to the film.
Initially, reactions to “Orange” were extreme, either loved or criticized harshly. However, with repeat telecasts and digital releases, audiences began to appreciate the director’s candid portrayal of romance. As “Orange” returns to screens, the anticipation is unmatched, with tickets selling out rapidly. Harris Jayaraj’s music and the film’s honest take on relationships contribute to its enduring appeal.
Orange movie re-release and it shines – A year later!
“Orange” delves into the complexities of love through various relationships, offering a coming-of-age tale for its protagonist, Ram. While the film’s attempt to sell its theory of honest romance may feel repetitive, it resonates with audiences who appreciate its depth.
Post intermission, “Orange” shines, with Genelia’s character evolving and engaging sequences that justify Ram’s approach to love. Beyond its commercial aspects, the film explores the truth of its characters, remaining relevant today.
As Ram Charan’s career flourishes, revisiting “Orange” offers a glimpse of his early acting prowess without the weight of his later successes.
