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.

Varanasi Faces IMAX Challenge Ahead of 2027 Release
Varanasi, directed by S. S. Rajamouli, is already being regarded as one of the most anticipated Indian films of 2027. Following the global success of RRR, trade experts expect the film to enjoy a phenomenal overseas run. However, one factor that could influence its international box office performance is the competition for IMAX screens.
Unlike many films that undergo IMAX conversion after production, Varanasi is reportedly being designed and filmed specifically to maximize the IMAX format, promising a premium cinematic experience. However, the release window is shaping up to be highly competitive in international markets. Hollywood blockbusters such as Godzilla x Kong: Supernova, scheduled for March 26, 2027, and Panic Carefully, releasing on April 9, 2027, have already secured IMAX releases. More major studio films are also expected to join the calendar, increasing competition for premium large-format screens.
Since IMAX and other premium screens generate a significant share of revenue for event films, limited screen availability in key overseas markets could slightly impact Varanasi’s earning potential. While the film is unlikely to face issues in securing standard screens, the allocation of IMAX screens during its April 7, 2027 release period will be an important factor that the makers will be closely watching.
The situation is equally interesting in India, where the number of genuine IMAX theatres remains limited. Although several multiplexes promote IMAX auditoriums, only a handful offer the complete IMAX experience. This has led to discussions about whether additional IMAX screens, particularly in major cities like Hyderabad, could be introduced before Varanasi reaches theatres. With the film promising a visually spectacular experience, expanding premium-screen infrastructure could benefit both audiences and exhibitors. How the IMAX landscape evolves over the coming months will be crucial in determining the film’s premium-format reach.
