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.

Cheers
