Weak and Ineffectual

[dksodhi · 5/10 · 22 October 2009]

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.

Blue "Stinks" and sadly "Sinks", still feeling the 'Blue's about it.

Akshay Kumar

Zayed Khan

Lara Dutta

Kylie Minogue

Director :- Anthony D'Souza

Rating :- * 1/2

Since 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.

Brainless, forgettable action-thriller

[sumanbarthakursmailbox · 5/10 · 19 December 2009]

Blue, directed by Anthony D'souza is a brainless, forgettable action-thriller that quickly sinks without a trace. Let me say this right away: anyone expecting anything other than the sight of Lara Dutta in a skimpy bikini, or indeed Akshay Kumar with his shirt off, is going to be very disappointed. The film's hare-brained plot involves a coveted treasure buried at the bottom of the ocean, and a reluctant Sanjay Dutt playing Sagar, a working class, regular-Joe in the Bahamas who refuses to seek it out even though he seems to be the only diver in the world who knows where and how to find it. No amount of coaxing from his friend and employer Aarav (played by Akshay Kumar) will do the trick. But the out-of-shape Dutt – whose unsightly man-boobs suggest he's been bunking too many sessions at the gym – finally agrees to take the plunge when his kid-brother's life depends on it. Sam (played by Zayed Khan wearing a single expression throughout) is in trouble with some goons who must be paid $50 million immediately. For a film that's titled Blue, most of the action here involves bike chases and car explosions, while the underwater portions are gorgeously filmed but evoke no real excitement. To be honest, in fact, the tension never heightens to the point where you worry about the protagonists. How can you, when you notice even the sharks are swimming peacefully around them, oblivious and uninterested even when underwater brawls result in blood being spilt! Blue suffers from a dull script and inane dialogue, and is cursed with characters that are as shallow as the waters they paddle. You want to burst into laughs when Lara Dutta (playing Sagar's girlfriend Mona) slips into Miss India mode and complains that they have no money to realise her one dream of setting up a marine research facility. The lady does not show so much as a passing interest in fish, by the way! Coming back to the business of the buried fortune, let's just say we've all participated in school treasure-hunts that were more challenging than this one. We're told the fortune hasn't been retrieved in 60 years, and yet Sagar leads the way to the loot as if it's lying in his backyard. Neither slick nor fast-paced, this film lumbers in circles before crashing into a moronic finale involving ridiculous back-stories about dead family members. In the end, despite its travel-brochure look that might afford some momentary National Geographic-style relief, Blue doesn't have a shred of intelligence, and it sinks in a sea of lame writing and laughable performances. Sanjay Dutt sleepwalks through his scenes, and Akshay Kumar overdoes the smugness. As for Zayed Khan, how I wish the makers had spent the fee they paid him to hire a few more sharks and include a few more thrills instead. The music by AR Rahman is strictly average; even the item song by Kyle Minogue can't save this film from reaching its watery grave.Director Anthony D'souza's Blue's has flashy exterior and it's one dead fish. Watch it strictly at your own risk.

blue.

[paycolts_18 · 1/10 · 22 October 2009]

The only good thing about this movie is it's new for bollywood audience and credit to director nd crew for THEIR hard work on the film. Sympathies aside, Indian audience have watched films like this b.f particularly Hollywood underwater films in recent years. Hollywood movies Jaws and The Deep both based on novels by peter benchley were benchmarks for these kind of films and for audience who loved this genre. Bt recent underwater films by Hollywood and now Blue are no better then the novels themselves, that is to have a story. Blue is a story less film and more about the visuals and the stunts, including wasting the bike stunts all the way in the east that led nowhere. The movie is more or less based on technical aspects of film making than based on a story of any kind. The lady in blue story is pretty good even though it consists of a stupid investigation in accusing the captain of being a traitor. At least Blue could have used this story and made it an historic marine story of sorts, but you end up having the villain(unimpressive akshay) search this treasure to "save the family's honor", while meaning no harm to put the sanjay's family thru all the tamasha.

Ther were no twists even for double crossing rahul dev was dumb, b.c he wasn't interested in this movie at all while seeing his reactions. Overall, thers no treasure hunting b.c its only for a few scenes way down the second half and towards the end of the movie. The movie is sentimental and dull in the first half, nd the second half is of no interest by the time the movie ends.

Fool

[ganeshkss97 · 2/10 · 6 April 2011]

Blue,one of the most anticipated movies of 2009 is a foolish movie.

Being told Bollywood's most expensive film the film turns out to be so cheap.

Anthony D Souza,the director wasted a terrific opportunity.His direction is average.

The music is by A.R Rahman,is surprisingly bad.

What makes me give this film 2 stars is mainly for its the stunts and photography.

Performance wise-Sanjay Dutt is overweight.Akshay Kumar is okay.Zayed Khan needs a crash course for acting.shows you how to wear the two-piece, and look like a goddess of the sea.Katrina Kaif comes in the very start,leaves off and comes in the climax.Thats it.Rhaul Dev is half baked.Kabir Bedi has no dialogs.

Overall Blue is a fool

Stay Far Away!

[vibinhari · 1/10 · 16 October 2009]

The protagonists are searching for a treasure ship that was traveling from Britain to India, and was lost at sea in the Bahamas.. yes Bahamas is en route to India! The acting is horrible, the dialogues are especially cheesy and dialogue delivery made me want to throw up. All the actors make a mess, cant actually blame them if the script was this bad. It has scenes lifted from movies like Torque and Hitch, and has an overall feel of Fool's Gold.

I liked the setting, and cinematography is quite breathtaking. It has a few decent action sequences, though the editing leaves a lot to be desired. The story is very weak and predictable, go for this one only if you have absolutely nothing else to do.

What a Disappointment

[sanj00 · 1/10 · 21 November 2009]

Another total trash from Akshay Kumar and gang. I wonder why Akshay Kumar wanting stars from other countries trashed into his movies without any relevance? Dog in Sing is king and Kyslie in this movie. Such glorious international name don't add any value to Akshay's movies, which are scripted badly combined with Akshay over acting. Akshay is extremely talented actor, but unable to give a single hit in a while and you see why.

The protagonists are searching for a treasure ship that was traveling from Britain to India, and was lost at sea in the Bahamas.. yes Bahamas is en route to India! The acting is horrible, the dialogues are especially cheesy and dialogue delivery made me want to throw up. The young khan is complete waste in this movie. Actually all the actors make a mess, can't actually blame them if the script was this bad. It has scenes lifted from movies like Torque and Hitch, and has an overall feel of Fool's Gold.

The setting and cinematography are quite breathtaking. It has a few decent action sequences, though the editing leaves a lot to be desired. The story is very weak and predictable, go for this one only if you have absolutely nothing else to do.

Blue fades away

[sushilonlines · 2/10 · 17 October 2009]

BLUE, awaited movie of the year is a failure. Despite multiple star cast, 100 crores budget, Kylie Minologue the film is total failure. Film lacks story & it doesn't entertain you except A.R. Rahman's music. The only thing I liked about this film is the superb music of A.R. Rahman & Lara dutta. Akshay Kumar is dull & boring with his monotonous acting. Sanjay Dutt looks very simple & hasn't done enough work (his tummy is clearly visible. that looks very bad). Katrina too is being spoilt with the role. The positive thing about the movie is music, some great underwater scene & glimpse of the underwater life. Else it is just waste of 2 hrs & Rs. 200.

Worst movie of the year.

[Agent-L · 1/10 · 18 October 2009]

Without a shadow of a doubt this is one of the worst film of the year. I never believed it would actually top such title as "Kambakkht Ishq", "Love Aaj Kal" or "Chandni Chowk to China" but it did. The plot and the script is very poorly written with some dialogues being straight lifted from well known movies.

I am not going to divulge the plot because it is so simple with one twist in the end. After watching the first 30 minutes you will be able to tell what is going to happen for rest of the movie. But I have to say the cinematography was good, i think that was only good thing about the movie.

In conclusion I would like to say the script is poorly written with equally bad plot, its delivered very poorly by the cast with many dialogue and continuity errors which are obvious to the audience during the run of the movie. The only plus point is you get to see Lara Dutta in bikini which she looks wonderful in but not the acting!

A Nutshell Review: Blue

[DICK STEEL · 4/10 · 31 December 2009]

If I may broadly categorize Bollywood films into two camps. One, the original works, which might even extend to remakes of films from the other regions in the subcontinent, but seldom seen outside of it. The masala formula would work its magic into creating an entertaining tale filled with a song and dance extravaganza. Then the other would be the stitching together of elements from other films, seldom referred to as paying homage or acknowledged if at all, and trying to pass them off as originals. These tend to be predictable, and plainly concealing a bad, if non-existent story. Blue unfortunately falls into the latter category.

I had originally wanted to watch this on the big screen, given its tooting of the horn that it's the first to feature stunning underwater photography in a Bollywood action film. But the result here, for an actioner, is something that left much to be desired. While references to Into The Blue can be discounted by virtue of it being just another treasure hunter movie set in the high seas, the other sequences here were something that you would have seen before, from boring MI:2 motorcycle chase scenes, the Bourne Ultimatum for fisticuffs on board a boat, to the one that takes the cake involving a gunfight that was a lift out from Bad Boys 2.

Lines were also found lifted from films like Hitch, but thankfully this was kept to a minimum. Set in the Bahamas with locations like Thailand also included, this film dwells on the search for the missing sunken ship Lady in Blue, which is said to contain treasures beyond a man's widest dreams. A simple, carefree fisherman Sagar (Sanjay Dutt) holds key to the location of the ship, given a diving expedition with his dad when young which resulted in a tragedy. His good friend, rich playboy Aarav (Akshay Kumar) desires that Sagar would come to his senses and make them both richer, but to Sagar it's a secret that he would bring to the grave.

Enter Sagar's reckless brother Sam (Zayed Khan) who's being pursued by thugs all the way from Thailand for a sum of 50 million dollars that he owes, and you know just what the solution is for our reluctant Sagar. As mentioned the film got made through the stringing of action sequences one after another, with room for some romance between Sagar and Mona (Lara Dutta, and Sam and Nikki (Katrina Kaif in a short supporting role), but the much touted underwater action scenes turn out to be nothing more than a drop in the ocean, much of it against faceless thugs who seem to appear quite conveniently to challenge our testosterone filled trio.

There's a nice twist to the story about families which gave the weak story some sense, but alas this was too little too late, as the finale was one hurried affair that seemed more like a haphazardly inserting a coda just for the sake of, damage having already been made by the uninspiring action and plot. If only it had taken time to further develop the characters beyond their cardboard caricatures, which would have made it all the more palatable in terms of story, rather than to stick its guns to the action which were cobbled from films made in the West.

Great Movie..

[virajjoshi · 8/10 · 6 October 2019]

I don't know why this movie has such a low rating... This movie is worth watching...

Blue: nothing but eye candy and great visuals..

[rajandey · 7/10 · 16 October 2009]

Just got back from the theatre. I was excited about Blue. There was a big hype around Blue, as it is one of the most expensive Bollywood movies ever made, it has a wonderful star cast,Oscar-winner A.R.Rahman's music, Kylie Minogue, great publicity.

I thought Blue would have a rocking story apart from all the bikes, explosions and underwater diving. Of course there is a story, but it just doesn't live up to anyones expectations.

Blue has some plusses though, it has been shot very lavishly, I am always afraid of weird looking bollywood action scenes, Blue doesn't have those. Blue has excellent action scenes, first-rate stunts, awesome camera-work (Especially under water!).

Go see Blue if you are okay with seeing only great visuals and stunts. The movie is not bad, the story is just bad, everything else is awesome.

I rate this movie 7 out of 10 because of the following things : - Akshay Kumars awesome flawless acting as a negative role. - Sanjay Dutts performance. - Zayed Khan for once, doesn't go unnoticed, well done. - Katrina Kaif's hitting cameo. - Aaj dil gustakh hai, Fiqrana and Blue theme. - Superb actions and visuals.

More like Ewwwww!

[Sherazade · 1/10 · 2 December 2009]

Poo-poo! Yuck. Suck. Agh! I can't even begin to tell you how bad this film was. Completely horrible. Tried to copy the Dhoom movies and Race but failed horribly. The story does not take off until well after 1 full hour and by that time if I was watching it in theatres I would have left a long time along (and requested my money back), the editing was very poor(it looked all senselessly chopped together) and the acting was woeful. It was almost like they were shooting ads for different kinds of products (like look at what the ducati can do, Ducati 999 buy one today! Or Lara's line of bikinis, get yours today etc. etc.) Anthony D'Souza needs to apologise to everybody who saw this film.

I have finally figured out what the problem with Lara Dutta is, she is too comfortable in fluffy roles, she does not even try to challenge herself nor does she want to. And as for Kylie Minogue, I can't even begin to tell you how shocked I was to see her like that. I cannot talk too much about her because I know she just went through breast cancer treatment and only God knows what she is going through personally. I just did not expect to see her face all pulled back and botoxed up like Nicole Kidman. Do they think because they live far away down under we wouldn't notice the surgery and injections? The less said about her trying to dance like Beyonce(from her video of 'Upgrade you'), the better.

That aside, this movie was so shockingly lackluster, the only good thing about it was the song compositions by AR Rahman and the exotic locales of The Bahamas and Bangkok. Katrina Kaif, should have said no to her cameo(the minute she showed up I figured the stupid plot) but of course she thought the film was going to be a hit that's why she couldn't help herself.

a perfect disaster

[stockwithme · 1/10 · 17 October 2009]

Blue

Like akshay kumar has decided to beat his own record of giving consecutive CRAPS here comes another DISASTER .

Story has nothing new to offer , a group of criminals , younger brother trapped between bad guys and for his life elder brother goes for what he had decided not to do. A sexy girlfriend who was on gunpoint of bad guys and finally a fox like friend….

If it was not enough an international pop star's cold special appearance .

Performance ? yes nobody has performed because director's role was missing . Like akshay kumar has written his own pathetic dialogues . every time he opens his mouth to shoot pathetic dialogues if u see his performance zayed khan has done better than him in the movie. Sanjay dutt , why director had chosen him is a big question.. He was not looking in shape and not at all a deep sea diver . he was looking tired and FAT. Lara dutta had nothing to do accept to do a bikini song.

Stunts of B grade Hollywood movie would be better than this .and if one wants to see underwater marine world, he should see discovery channel but not this.

Biggest disappointment was from director's side. he has made it without any planning.

Total waste of producer's money and people like me who went to see this crap.

Heavily Disappointed

[tjsdshpnd · 5/10 · 16 October 2009]

Just watched Blue and sorry to say it did not live up to its hype at least for me.I mean there is nothing bad in breath-taking stunts, falling vehicles and scantily clad dames throughout, but there should at least be a soul of the film which is the story . The soul of the film is missing IMO. And whatever is offered is very much predictable. I mean if you are stunned by the twists in the movie, then you have not seen enough thriller movies. Even the movie Race had shocking twists than Blue. My college friends were all the time busy in predicting what will happen next and most of the times they were right.

Good things about the movie was the cinematography and the breathtaking visuals. It is visually a brilliant movie. The BGM was disappointing. Not expected from Rahman Sir. Akshay Kumar and Sanjay Dutt were the saviors of the movie. No one can beat Akshay in such roles. Lara was there just to shed clothes and be the damsel in distress. Katrina Kaif's Special appearance had more impact than Lara's main role. Zayed Khan did the same thing what he had being doing since his debut (Curse that day :(). I did not understand the reason for the Kylie song in the movie, They could have just done a promotional song with her that plays at the end credits. Overall, watch it for it's style, glamor, action - But if you are looking for good story, you will be disappointed.

Rating : 5/10

blue has taken bollywood to a completely different level

[impsony · 5/10 · 16 October 2009]

A must watch film for this diwalli.

blue is filled up with some breathe taking stunts which we generally see in Hollywood films.action sequences in the film got some make over from Hollywood films like Italian job. The story line of film is quite predictable and slow.

Brilliant performances by akhsay,zayed and lara saves the film,but the role of sanjay dutt didn't suit him.katrina and kylie stunts their role with a cameo.

a.r.rahman's music is the backbone of the film.

over all film does't disappoint anyone,and after a string of flops to akhsay and zayed blue proves to be a Saviour.

Out of the Blue !!

[bombayblue · 2/10 · 16 October 2009]

'Blue' falls in the category of movies you cannot make fun of. Because, the movie itself is a spoof. A wafer-thin plot, loads of action, crappy dialogues, and innumerable illogical twists & turns towards the end leaves one - What ? How ? Why ?

Sanjay is tense, Akshay over-confident, Lara glamorous, Katrina wooden, and well, Zayed needs to retire from acting. He can instead open a company 'Failed Starsons Pvt. Ltd.' with his cousin Fardeen. Maybe they can rope in Tushar Kapoor too.

Back to the movie, the cinematography is really good - credits to the location; and the portrayal of marine life is great, a first for Bollywood. From there, the movies goes down linearly.

A treasure hunt in the Bahamas ! Lol, it seems they lost the script while hunting for the treasure. The Director fails to realize that the only real treasure lost is the 100 crores of the Producer in making this movie. Nat Geo would have made a documentary with a better story in the Bahamas at this cost.

Give it a miss ! Don't spoil your Diwali.

good visualization

[azizbaghadia · 2/10 · 15 October 2009]

this two stars is only for good camera work and for techniques. this is among very less film which technically good. ladies doing nothing in this film except showing body. Sanjay and Akki looks alright SAM has no proper platform and also he needs to re-establish him. there are loop holes in script and also poor direction. story is not gripping enough and first half is almost wasted. in my opinion guys can enjoy because of Lara's exposure, some can also enjoy the location, views and scenery.

just watch if you are too curious to know how 1crore is spent in one min.

A major disappointment....

[namashi_1 · 4/10 · 16 October 2009]

Anthony D'Souza had everything going for him... Budget wise, Stars wise, Music wise, but despite all these cherry's... he fails to make a convincing fare. The script is a complete mess.

The first hr is very slow, the film doesn't move. Songs come up, including 'Chiggy Wiggy'. The second hr picks up, with the climax {which is the only proper Under-Water sequence in the film} standing out. However, the twist in the climax doesn't create any impact.

A R Rahman's music another sore point. One just doesn't get the feeling of the Legendary Music Director's genius in here.

Performance wise: Akshay Kumar is strictly okay. Sanjay Dutt is as usual, though he's looking very fat in the film. Zayed Khan is bland. Lara Dutta looks amazing and does a fine job. Katrina too looks gorgeous, as ever in a cameo appearance. Rahul Dev is good as the menace. Kabir Bedi is wasted.

On the whole 'Blue' disappoints big time.

just watch it

[sandeep_acharya3 · 4/10 · 18 October 2009]

While most movie critics have done their job of dissecting blue to be a directorial disaster and having a weak story line, what they have actually done is to benchmark it to a typical Bollywood movie.

How many of the present lot of directors would think of having the lead star without a heroine for the entire length of the movie, and go all out to make a movie that we would love to have but only if offered by a Hollywood director not from a Indian director.

While Indians have liked Jaws and Titanic, National treasure was a big hit, no one questioned the logic behind the story or any of the scenes, but, when a Indian director does international quality work, everyone sits up and puts in their two bits of opinion.

A great man had once said– Opinions are like belly buttons– everyone has one.

In BLUE the underwater sequences are beautiful, the bike races world class, the actors especially Lara and Akshay look stunning and very different from their earlier movies.

Overall the movie is visual treat and you can sit back and enjoy the scenic beauty of Bahamas. The only negative of the movie is perhaps its end which is not much convincing to me but overall its a good movie .

As a movie buff all I can say is every movie is special, you got to go figure for yourself and stop being a football of other people's opinions.

Thank you D'Souza for the great visuals!

[jerrel100 · 8/10 · 11 December 2009]

I don't understand all the negativity and bad reviews of the self-proclaimed movie phd's aroundhere.

It seems that these criticasters went to the movie to compare it scene by scene with Hollywood ones. Next time these guys see an Indian actor riding on a horse, they will conclude that that particular scene or perhaps the whole movie is a copy of a Hollywood Western.

And so what if it is inspired by Hollywood movies? Finally, it's the result that counts. I like this movie because of it's great picturization! And Yes, the story could have been better, but it's not that bad eighter. Nevertheless, I've seen a good composed story and enjoyed with a lot of popcorn. High standards of cinema are achieved, despite the thin storyline. The last motorbike chase is really awesome. It's stunning composition generates a huge adrenaline boost for the viewer. And the underwater scenes where accompanied by such a nice music score. Yas Raj should learn from this movie how to use background music. A.R. Rahman has proved his versatility as music composor: he has produced very beautiful music for this movie. This man is an Artist! And Kiley's performance is super diva!

The minor point in the story line is the anticlimax at the end. Akshay as a nice villain who needs to be hugged and his motive to save the family honor, disappoints big time. But thank god they spoiled only these last 5 minutes of the movie. I would rather see a more creative plot with a edge of my seat, mean, dirty, rude and crude result.

Despite the lack in content, but due to it's high visuals and powerful action scenes this movie has repetitive value, so I will watch it again. The time for ''Pyaar ke Bokhaar'' (love fever) movies has passed, it's now time for movies like Dhoom, Don and Blue!

Worth a one time watch fun movie Hot lara dutta

[advocategs · 7/10 · 18 October 2009]

Dear Friends Blue is a full time pass movie so leave your critical mind at home and just flow with the fun thrill and comedy involved in the movie. The start of the movie is pretty thrilling with some nicely directed races. The general canvas of the movie is very grand and pleasing to the eye. Kylie Minogue really sizzles and this was the best song (chiggy wiggy)i liked out of the sheer naughtiness and a very catchy tune. The acting by all the actors is merely average and they are not entirely to blame for it as the story only did not allow them to put forth something special. But a special mention of Lara Dutta she just sizzles the screen with her bikinis and carries herself with a lot of sensuality. She is I think one of the most seductive Heroines of the Hindi cinema right now. Also i want to urge all the visitors of IMDb to right comments and at least vote so that our views can help each other. All in all if you have 2 hours i would suggest you go and watch this movie its worth one time watch at least. Regards

Worst Diwali Movie of decade

[dps_patel · 1/10 · 18 October 2009]

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.

Blue beaten blue n black (lots of Spoilers here)

They had at least some plot that a Manmohan Desai or Subhash Ghai would have shot into a catchy movie but, instead of shooting it, they spoke it in last 10 minutes of the film. So you get the story as Sanjay Dutt speaks about his dad, Akshay speaks about his dad, Gulshan speaks about his partnership with Akshay, and you wonder that they couldn't have run out of money (the costliest film), they didn't run out of time (less than 2 hours. When interval happens at 1 hour, I hear several gasps of arey, interval ho bhi gaya), they couldn't have date problems as none of the personalities is really busy, they why the heck they didn't shoot it.

So, it is about a treasure hunt. If you think you might be able to remember that Titanic itself was about a treasure hunt actually, the blue diamond, but you have almost forgotten that part is the ultimate tribute to Cameroon that this treasure chase was running just as a thin line in background while one of the most finely told love story unfolded on the screen.

Kat being wifey of Akshay brought a lot of laughs from the audience, as if they had stopped counting the plot goof-ups, but we do wonder why at all Katrina accepted to do this movie for such a wafer thin role. Zayed knows she is working for Gulshan, She already knew that Zayed is going to Bahamas, still he puts all blond jokes to shame by dropping a voice message to her cell telling her that he is in Bahamas, for Gulshan to hear, and even then feels safe hiding there and showing surprise when gulshan reaches there.

Bahamas is near Mexico and Cuba, how does a ship coming from UK to India reach their is the biggest unrevealed mystery of the film.

Akshay's character portrayal is utterly confused. he was a good friend to begin with, though you wonder how can someone just spend his entire life befriending Sanjay Dutt just for the treasure, while womenising greedily, but leaving him at being the real manipulator, the real villain would still have been consistent and had brought some twist, but then he comes out to be the grandson of the captain and gives entire treasure to government to clear family name and even puts the 20% award legally received from government to Sanjay Dutt. What the heck is happening.

It also didn't become clear why Gulshan breaks to tell Sanjay Zayed about the secret partnership he was having with Akshay. And the allegation that Akshay wanted to keep entire treasure for himself also didn't stick as Askhay didn't want that money at all.

Further, if Akshay had just told Sanjay in the very beginning that he wanted to find the treasure and give it to the government to clear family name, there is good possibility that Sanjay would have agreed to do so. Then the movie needn't have to be made.

And when Gulshan tells it, Sanjay just believes him forgetting his old friendship with Akshay. It seems so odd.

When Akshay supposedly dies in the see, they didn't even search for his body, nor for his bike under the sea, nor even inquire about what happens to Akshay's business and property, after all, Sanjay was an employee of Akshay.

And why Akshay had to remain hidden from them for 3 months at the end has been provided no reason.

And After Gulshan got killed and Akshay supposedly died, why didn't Sanjay and Zayed and Lara try to bring the treasure for themselves. Sanjay and Zayed were unemployed now and Lara needed some money, or they themselves could have given the treasure to the government. Why Sanjay Dutt had not provided the treasure details to the government all his life has also not been told.

If entire thing was just a make believe to trap Zayed to force Sanjay to reveal the treasure, then it looks a sickening waste that so many real guys get killed in bike chase in New York and Bahamas chasing Zayed and so many vehicles got destroyed and lives of the people in those vehicles too.

Akshay and Sanjay look more like fathers to Lara, Katrina and Kylie, thus the body display scenes of ladies didn't really fume. Zayed was coolly young but it is surprising that with a spoilt single brat life he was supposed to be living, how come he gets so much captivated by Katrina (She looks elder and quite fatty to Zayed, sorry Kat fans) in 12 hours to behave like being in love. And then he was left without any partner in the visual treats of Bahamas. Why did they make Akshay flirt with Kylie when they could have made Kylie a mate for Zayed till the end of the movie.

The songs didn't add to the film, but they didn't hinder the film either. Songs go unnoticed. Yaar Mila Tha is not there. I couldn't figure where at all it could have been put. The entire lyrics, the feel of the songs, the situation, doesn't fit on any character at all in the film. Film didn't have any emotion-intensive scenes at all, so no specific song was really needed for it. The great emotions that ARR had so laboriously put in some songs really served no purpose for the film.

Chiggy Wiggy happens just like that, it deserved a big build up, but no. They just visit any hotel, just spot one of so many a girls who happens to be Kylie, and the dance starts, and then Kylie disappears from the film. Such treatment will scare away all other foreign celebrities from bollywood.

Glitter and sheen of fake gold

[AvinashPatalay · 22 December 2009]

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.
