Orange Telugu Movie - O Range

Orange Movie is Bhaskar's third film after Bommarillu and Parugu. I am not sure why many people didn't like the movie but it was a different movie and interesting.May be because I didn't spend too much money and time at once for the money, I was ok with the movie. I am not a die hard Ram Charan or Mega Star fan just wanted to clear that fact. The concept was alright but I would have changed a few things for a repeat view.
The things that I would have changed

1) Heroines - Genelia's character is dumber than ever and a fresh face would have been a better choice than Genelia. Genelia already played a similar character in Bommarillu, audience didn't see anything fresh in her characterization. The other heroine is Shazahn Padamsee, Bollywood import who acted in 'Rocket Singh - The Salesman of the year' along side Ranbir Kapoor. She was alright but a fresh face or at least some one who had a similar look of Samantha Ruth Prabhu would have been OK for the role.
2) Choreography - The songs by Harris are good to hear but with Ram Charan in the movie and the image of Magadheera, the audience might have expected really good dance moves but it was a big disappointment watching the songs. I liked hearing to them than actually watching them on the screen.
3) Crisp Editing - There are a few scenes in the movie which should have been edited to make the movie look logical and not painful or illogical.The way the movie has started and ended also didn't look that good. Prakash Raj didn't add any value to the movie.
4) Title - I do not see any justification for the title to be Orange. There is nothing in the movie to make sure the title makes any kind of sense. They could have used Allu Arjun and called the movie as 'Aarya 3' which would have been an apt title for the story & screenplay. People would have been ok with the title and the expectations would have met because they would expect something different in Aarya movies anyways. Orange shocked the audience because of the story telling and being a different love story which they were not ready to embrace from Ram Charan I guess.

OBIEE Download Data more than 65k and to view all the records at once.

I have raised an Oracle Service Request for one of the user's request to download data more than 65,000 rows. They haven't provided me with solution but discouraged from downloading data more than 65,000 rows. But after looking around online, I have tried this link and it worked.
http://obiee101.blogspot.com/2010/01/obiee-resultrowlimit.html
The default max result rows is 65,000 by adding a value more than the default value would help us download data more than 65k rows but what would be the correct value and what is the purpose of OBIEE needs to be better answered before we make that change.
I have made this change on my local instanceconfig.xml for users who require data for analysis because if we make this change on the server and if there are numerous users downloading data at will, the overall performance would have severe implications.
200000

There has been one more strange requirement by the users to view all the rows at once in table view. In Table view we have a radio button to display all the rows at once but we encountered performance issues and the reasons could be many.
1) The number of fields on the face of the report.
2) The aggregated measures used.
3) The resultant rows.
4) The CPU Usage and memory issues ( IE when downloading would use 70% of the CPU Memory)
Service Request was raised and The Oracle response was OBIEE Reporting tool is for analytical reporting and What is the business requirement to see all the records?
OBIEE is not for general purpose reporting. Though the option is there for all records. It is always recommended to develop reports using various other features (Hierarchy, parent/child reports, drill down, Navigate, filters, etc...)
Depending on the data, performance issues are expected.

If anybody has ways to improve performance or faced similar issue before and were able to resolve could respond to this post.
