Orange (2010)

Tollywood Image Spotlite: Orange (2010).

Set on the backdrop of Australia, the film opens with an angry Ram (Ram Charan Teja), who just broke up with his girlfriend, narrating the story of his love life to a police officer, Abhishek Verma (Prakash Raj) as he defaces a graffiti of his lover while her father (Prabhu Ganesan) listens.

Ram is introduced to be an youngster who loves graffiti and doesn't believe in everlasting love. He has gone through 9 loves in his life, and thinks that love between two people eventually dies out. As a person with strong morals, he is honest and wants to love life and live with open mind, open thought and open action with his lover. Jaanu (Genelia D'Souza) studies in the same college as Ram. He falls in love with her at first sight and goes onto wooing her. She eventually ends up falling for him, but wants him to promise to love her forever. Ram, of course, nonchalantly dismisses this and explains how he cannot love her forever. This leads to a clash of their ideologies. Ram shows Jaanu how even true love stales after a while and true love cannot stay forever, while Jaanu shows him examples of everlasting love, like her friends and her parents. However he makes it clear that love between two people is never the same as it first is.

Abhishek makes Ram tell him why he feels like this, and Ram explains another love in his life, Rooba (Shazahn Padamsee). He falls in love with her as she visits Hyderabad when Ram is on a foreign exchange project. He follows her to Mumbai and they both fall in love. However as time passes, the couple faces problems and Ram feels himself lying more and more just to make Rooba happy. Unable to take it anymore, he tells her that he cannot continue loving her if he has to lie and sacrifice so much for her. They break up, and through the experience Ram becomes the man he is.

He returns to the story of Jaanu who is with him but is troubled that he cannot promise his love forever. Ram notices his neighbor's (Nagendra Babu) relationship with his wife. The husband fights with his wife a lot, but they still are very much in love and cannot leave each other. Through this, and other instances he realizes that in love, some sacrifices must be made and he must look beyond small arguments and fights and see the whole "ocean" of the relationship. Ram tries winning back Jaanu, and argues that while he cannot promise to love her forever, he will try his best. This does not seem to be enough for Jaanu, however.

Abhishek talks to Ram and understands his problem with love. Ram, a changed person, is convinced to still try and win Jaanu's heart back (as she still very much loves him). When asked what he will do next, Ram answers that it is time to see the whole "ocean" of love.
