After scoring a blockbuster with Magadheera, Ram Charan featured in ‘Orange’ a realistic love drama that had a completely tonal contrast when compared to that of Magadheera. The drastic change in genres didn’t help the cause. The audience were hoping for a proper action thriller from Ram Charan after Magadheera, but they were served an intense love drama that had very little entertainment value. Also, Orange did not have any commercial elements. This is one of the main reasons why the film failed to click at the box office. There is no denying the fact that Orange has a follower base and a section of the audience adores the film. But as far as the box office parameters are concerned, Orange is a dud. Following which, Ram Charan never signed a full-on love drama. He has mostly been picking films that cater to all sections of the audience.
Now, Akhil Akkineni is coming up with Most Eligible Bachelor, which is billed to be a proper love drama with a slice of life theme, much like Ram Charan’s Orange. Most Eligible Bachelor is based on two individuals, Akhil, and Pooja Hegde who have a completely different approach in regard to marriage. While Pooja is more matured, Akhil believes that having a good career is a pivotal step ahead of marriage and later realizes that he is really confused about picking his life partner. Well, Orange has a plot that is very similar to that of Most Eligible Bachelor’s.
But the makers of Most Eligible Bachelor are not repeating the same mistake as with Orange. This time around, they have infused Most Eligible Bachelor with a whole lot of entertainment value, as shown in the trailer. The trailer implied that there’s a fair bit of comedy, romance, and other commercial elements in the Akhil Akkineni and Pooja Hegde starrer. The makers of the Akhil starrer are making sure that it caters to all sections of the audience. Also, it has a more contemporary take on modern day relationships. It remains to be seen if Akhil can score a hit with a genre that didn’t work very well for Ram Charan.
