Orange (soundtrack)

Harris Jayaraj began working on this film from late October of 2009 onwards.[9] Before working on this film, Harris Jayaraj composed music for the delayed film Engeyum Kadhal,[10] and the song "Dhimu Dhimu" that was finished in December of 2009 was used in this film as "Chilipiga Chusthavala".[11][12][13] The songs "O Range" and "Oola Oolala Ala" were shot in Australia.[14][15] The song "Rooba Rooba" was initially supposed to be pictured on Genelia D'Souza, but after Ram Charan's suggestion that Genelia's homely nature would not work well, Shazahn Padamsee was featured.[16] Vanamali felt that writing lyrics for "Nenu Nuvvantu" was tough because "Bhaskar wanted to convey the feel with simple words that fit into Harris Jayaraj's tune".[17]

Almost all songs are great with 'Nenu Nuvvantu' standing out."[20] raagalahari.com gave a review stating "Orange has its good and also has its not so good, just like the sweet-sour taste of orange fruit.
