Avinash Patalay Anthony D'Souza had carefully handpicked all the ingredients to make a hit movie. Noteworthy is the cinematography which is top-notch. The underwater sequences are shot with aplomb. The background music is as good as any Hollywood movie. The songs from A R Rahman who is riding high on the success of Slumdog Millionaire are great. The choice of locales is great. And finally to rope in the international audience Kylie Minogue is roped in. The media is used effectively to generate curiosity and ensured audience is flocked to cinema halls. What else more can you ask for? Ahem - story please. Yes - amongst all the gloss and glitter somebody just seem to have forgotten to choose/ validate a proper story/ plot to base it leading to the entire affair falling like a pack of cards. ° Akshay Kumar yet again jumps on the other side to do an extended version of his character in "Ajnabee". And adopts his son's name as the screen name. BTW - the goatee didn't suit his looks in any manner.° Sanjay Dutt was miscast. He was big, bulky and appeared averaged for the character. Also pairing with Lara seemed cradle-snatching.° Zayed Khan makes an attempt to ultra-cool. The whole sequence of Rahul Dev and Kats is so badly written even a blind can see it coming.° Lara is surely hots in Blue. For the first time I had to take note of her - seriously. She leaves no stones unturned to flaunts her figure in an aesthetic way. °Kats adopts funky-techno look in her special appearance. She experiments her looks with the piercing and sadly doesn't look quite appealing. ° Rahul Dev is as usual dependable. ° Kabir Bedi role can be timed in seconds.The execution is sleek and no two ways to that. In many movies one complains that length should have been trimmed to deliver the impact but it seems in "Blue" the editor has done a magnanimous job to extent that it fails to sink into the audience. Mr. Anthony D'Souza - don't even think of any sequel to it ref: Air.PS: And the "Sarkar/ Sethji" was literally getting on my nerves after a while.

dksodhi I had a lot of expectations from this Movie and all it delivered was dissatisfaction and pain. It was a weak plot and very predictable. To add to this, the dialogue delivery and on screen presence was pathetic. Zayed Khan should be looking for some other options as acting is not an area where he can excel. Moreover, Katrina Kaif also looked fake and was not able to do her best. I have seen her performing better in some other movies. Yes, the locations are good, but its the plot and the acting that drags the movie to a new low. With the amount of money spent on this movie, it would have been better to get in some more substance rather than the effects. Sanjay Dutt is not at his best and disappoints as well. The only highlight of this movie is some SKIN show by Lara Dutta but that cannot make up for the bad experience. She has given steamy scenes in a lot of movies but this ain't the best. It would have been better if it was an exact copy of Into The Blue, it was better and the plot was good. Movie is good in parts but fails as a whole package. Maybe it was the expectation and the hype, however, it was a very lame movie with nothing new except the underwater sequence.If you have nothing else to do and want to kill your time, you may go and watch this movie. Not recommended for people who have high expectations.

Tim Jay Starring :- Sunjay DuttAkshay KumarZayed KhanLara DuttaKylie MinogueDirector :- Anthony D'SouzaRating :- * 1/2Since the past one month or so wherever i go, be it a night club, or a wedding, or just usual hangout spots, i noticed the songs of "Blue" playing over 'n' over. That's called excellent publicity. It would do good to any movie, only if, with a BIG "IF", the movie is good, or at least decent. That is not the case with "Blue".Excellent publicity can't do good for a really BAD and PATHETIC movie. When i first saw the promo of the movie i thought this might not be the most critically acclaimed film of the year but it should be a "Fun to watch popcorn movie". But no, it turns out to be a stinking affair, smellier than Mr Akshay Kumar's socks which he's wearing since his last successful film "Singh is Kinng" although that movie wasn't a good one, but still it was way better than "Blue". First lets just get to the premise of the film. The plot revolves around the trio mainly Sunjay Dutt(Sagar), Akhshay Kumar(Aarav, Sagar's friend) and Zayed Khan(Sam, Sagar's younger brother). Also there is Lara Dutta(Mona, Sagar's better half) and Katrina Kaif(Nikki) and Rahul Dev(Gulshan).Sagar and Aarav are friends, together they go fishing and have an occasional boxing face off. Aarav tries to convince Sagar to go treasure hunting with him, because only Sagar knows the whereabouts of it. But Sagar refuses due to the reason that his father lost his life while searching for that treasure and blames himself for his father's death.The story cuts to Sam, who is in Malaysia doing bike races, he gets a job from Gulshan(Rahul Dev) to deliver a package, but he loses it on the way, now Gulshan wants either his package back or $50 million. Nikki(Katrina, Sam's love interest and also working with Gulshan( advices him to leave Malaysia and go somewhere else, so he goes to Bahamas to his elder brother Sagar, that's where the main story begins.Coming to the main highlight of this film, the underwater sequences, believe me they were that good. Excellent lighting and camera angles and shots makes it look like an international affair. But that's the only thing good about "Blue". The action sequences are passable to say the least. No thrilling action sequence is to be found here. Only lame-money-spending-good-for-nothing kind of action sequences are there. Specifically the bike chase sequence, the one involving some 4-5 bikes and a train was so lame, the bikes which were supposed to be on the chase seems like they are out on a picnic and are grouping together to enjoy the sight-seeing, including the guy on the bike they were supposed to be chasing. If that doesn't make you shake your head in disbelief then the dialogs would definitely do that, for instance Aarav saying "Lets go take out the treasure from the sea", as if he's talking about going for window shopping and that too for a toothbrush. Also there's another one Mona saying "Can't we just talk peacefully with them?", even when she and Sagar are being attacked by armed men. These do work as "Unintentional jokes". And believe me there are many more.Also the plot holes are so big you can virtually make Jupiter pass through it. For instance, the "So-Called" treasure which is lying in the bottom of the ocean is so mysterious that many people even doubt its existence and people who tried to take it out lost there lives, but our protagonist Sagar(Sanjay Dutt), sleepwalks his way through the ocean and finds out the treasure just like "that". Either he is a combination of Columbus and Sherlock Holmes or the director and his team of writers were too busy thinking about the cinematography part that they forgot about the minor details in the story.Talking about the "so called" surprise ending of the film, the only surprise you will get is that you'll notice that most people are actually laughing at what had to be a serious moment in the film, "Unintentional Laughs" arise universally.The second highlight of the movie is Lara Dutta, who is looking like a zillion-gazillion bucks, she rules the waves and many a hearts too. The perfect eye candy.The cinematography is top grade, but under that glossy finish lies a decomposed chunk of wood, that is being eaten by termites and at the end what is left is that glossy finish with a BIG HOLE inside.The music is average, although some notes are easy on the ears, but still considering A.R. Rahman is the music and background score director, the music is disappointing and so is the film.And don't get me started on the script, like Akshay's previous outing "Kambakkht Ishq" the script is "Missing". Although at some points in the movie you feel like there's a decent script developing, but as soon as you think that, the director puts all your doubts aside and comes up with another blow up.With holes that BIG, even the unsinkable Titanic sank, and sadly so does "Blue", but with the sinking it stinks too.I go for * 1/2 out of five for director Anthony D'Souza's "Blue"An opportunity lost, this film made me wonder why am I even reviewing it.Under all that gloss lies a BIG HOLE that takes "Blue" down that smelly drainpipe which hasn't been cleaned since the medieval ages.Watch it only when someone threatens to kill you for not watching it.

D. Patel Blue is really bull Schit movie ever released on Diwali timings. Blue should be name BULL instead. Anthony Dsouza , you ought to be shamed of bringing this crap to this world. What the hey man! I can not believe this movie made 6 Crores rupees on first day. Nothing underwater is shot, it looks like scene were shot in swimming pool. Very unrealistic and unbelievable. people are not that dumb dude... stop fooling them. Only blue in this movie was Sanjay Dutt and his belly. I mean where the hey is your six pack man? Guy has got some belly nowadays, you can tell even if you are sleeping while watching the movie. I would not pay my money to see the Dutt belly. I mean we used to look up to him as a fittest dude in past. How the hey a producer spend Crores of Rs/- after this SShitt? I must say that this movie was the worst i have seen in 2009. Many of the scenes are stolen from Discovery Channel's documentary. One may be two songs were good, even AR could not help this movie. Come on dude, you just won Oscar, we expect lot from you. Don't give this kinda music. I mean it was good to see Lara in couple of clothes but its just Lara, not worth that much. Katrina for 6 minutes can not help movie. Kylie can Chiggy Wiggy may be but WTH with that. All this and on top of you guys bring Zayed khan in this movie? WORST MOVIE OF AKSHAY KUMAR. How dare you insult your audience like this? He is the worst actor and most flopped in industry. What the hey with story ? I could have given you better story. Stop trying to imitate DHOOM movie by using unrealistic BIKE scenes. BORING.... BOOOO..... Where the hey is an entertainment? FOLKS, I AM TELLING YOU ALL, DO NOT SPEND A DIME FROM YOUR POCKET TO WATCH THIS MOVIE. YOU WILL BE DISAPPOINTED IF YOU DID. very disappointing movie.
