The much awaited Ram Charan Teja – Genelia D’Souza starrer ‘Orange’ has finally hit theaters today and the film already looks like a potential blockbuster. According to reports in the media, ‘Orange’ has created history with more than 5 lakh tickets reportedly sold out in advance. ‘Orange’ revolves around the character of Ram Charan Teja, a young honest guy whose actions are misunderstood, as a result of which he loses the love of the people closest to him, the guy too turning bitter at the turn of events in his life.
Ram Charan Teja plays the role of a wildlife photographer in ‘Orange’ and Genelia D’Souza is his love interest in the film. The film is set in Australia and Prakash Raj plays an officer in the Australian police force. Genelia definitely looked lovely in the mostly western that she sported and also won hearts with her crazy girl performance. However, the audience was disappointed with the second half of the story which lacked the pace of the comic first half. Ram Charan was undoubtedly superb in the action sequences of the film and the Harris Jayaraj composition was the icing on the cake.
Being one of the most awaited movies of this year, ‘Orange’ has already made a record in ticket sales. And if reactions of the viewers are anything to go by, ‘Orange’ may well turn out to be the blockbuster Telugu film of the year.
