Blue Oranges is a 2009 Bollywood film produced by S M Ferozeuddin Alameer under the Khussro Films banner and directed by Rajesh Ganguly. The film features Rajit Kapur, Rati Agnihotri, Harsh Chhaya, and Aham Sharma in key roles.
The film is a crime, suspense thriller where Rajit Kapur plays the role of the detective Nilesh. Nilesh has to investigate the murder of a rich alcoholic woman (Pooja Kanwal). He investigates a bunch of suspects such as the murdered woman’s ex-lover (Aham Sharma), the tenant's son, a rich-brat who gave the woman a lift and the police commissioner's own brother (Harsh Chhaya) who had befriended her, before arriving at the truth. The film is shot in a flashback-and-forth mode of storytelling.[2]
The Times of India rated the movie 2.5/5 stars and although the movie was appreciated for being painstakingly crafted; it was criticized for being too dour and clinical and bereft of humour, pace and drama.[3]
Subhash K Jha too rated the movie 2.5/5 stars and summed up his review as "If there are no highs in the narration, there are no plunging lows either" and singled out Rajit Kapur’s acting as the one stand-out performance.[2]
