‘Blue’ (Movie Review)

An innovative film that deserves to be lauded

Cast: Sanjay Dutt, Akshay Kumar, Zayed Khan, Lara Dutta, Katrina Kaif, Kylie Minogue

Director: Anthony D’Souza

When the makers of a film proudly proclaim their product to be at par with their Hollywood counterparts, one is bound to be sceptical. More so because “Blue” is an action film, that too set underwater, which is not just a first in Bollywood but also a rarity in Hollywood.

So does “Blue” set new standards for Bollywood action movies? Does it actually get into the underbelly of the sea and show a world hitherto unexplored? The answer is yes.

Let’s put it this way – “Blue” may not be the mind-blowing commercial action thriller that you would have ever seen. However, it certainly is the most innovative attempt that deserves to be acknowledged and lauded.

Action is truly the USP of the film and keeps the momentum going for “Blue” due to which one doesn’t quite miss the presence of a solid storyline.

From first till the last frame, it’s the amalgamation of action and an unknown world (under the sea) which brings in a novelty factor.

For those hunting for a storyline, “Blue” actually begins and ends at the basic synopsis level. Mr. Richie Rich Akshay Kumar wants a treasure to be explored and entices his employee and friend Sanjay Dutt with tempting offers.

Dutt is reluctant to take that dive into the sea even though his girlfriend Lara Dutta and brother Zayed Khan do present him enough reasons to take the plunge. Eventually he relents and the journey of “Blue” begins. Simple.

There are five key action sequences that keep the pace up for the film. Each of the three bike sequences featuring Zayed become better and better and in fact his introduction a la ‘Fast and the Furious’ is something unique for an Indian film.

The boxing ring sequence featuring Sanjay and Akshay does hint of “Broken Arrow”, though it works in establishing their characters. Most importantly, the entire underwater hunt sequence is a breathtaking affair.

Anthony D’Souza has a strong eye for visuals and that shows. Technically, whether it is camerawork or sound, “Blue” bears an international feel. Whether it’s Sanjay or Akshay, the revelation about their past isn’t quite hammer strong, even though convincing.

Moreover, even though the film is a multi-starrer, one does expect Akshay to be on the forefront. However, for a change, a film featuring him does allow equal screen space for other actors as well.

As for Lara and Katrina Kaif, their presence is required to make the film look good and in that aspect, they do well.

In a nutshell, “Blue” is made for those who want pulsating action, innovative stunts, glamour and some unbelievable moments that defy logic.

It mainly caters to the youth that just want some non-stop action in those two hours while keeping James Bond movies in mind.

The kind of films where bikes are meant to race through traffic, cars are meant to explode, women are meant to bring on a glamour quotient, villains are meant to be suave, action is meant to belong to never-seen-before variety and technical aspects are meant to be superior to the best.

High budgets do not assure the success of films, and here’s the proof!

blue is the most eagerly awaited movie of the season.its budget and its star value makes it one of the awaited movies of the season.blue has a new story to tell.the screenplay is engaging but in parts.the 1st half is good while the 2nd half is just average.dialouges are nice.bckgrnd music is awesome.action is one of the reasons to watch the movie.underwater sequences are one of the reason to watch the movie.camera work is excellent esp in the underwater scenes.music is nice.direction by duebtante anthony is superb.he is a talented filmmaker.blue has 4 main characters but the best out of the 4 is definitly akshay kumar.akki is the best of the lot.he has the streak of mischief and at the same time maturity in his acting.sanjay dutt is okay.zayed khan acts well.lara dutta is good and also looks ravishing. rahul dev is good.katrina kaif is looking fantastic.her acting is okay.kylie is just there for a scene.kabir bedi doesnt hve much to do. overall,BLUE has a screenplay which is not so engaging but still makes for a decent watch bcoz of good action good performances and superb underwater scenes.

BLUE, the most awaited movie of the season is here. Blue has everything in its favour, a big starcast, costly stunts, gripping music & big canvas. Blue has a new storyline with some great twists and turns and a great thrill to watch. Screenplay is good with some good twists in the seconds hour. However, the climax could have been better. Dialouges are good at places. Action is deadly. The bike chase sequence of zayed khan is jaw-widening. Underwater sequences are a treat to watch. Background scroe is fantastic. Music is gripping. 'Blue theme' & 'Fiqrana' r the best of the lot. Camera work is again ravishing. The movie bestows a royal throughout which adds to the richness. Direction by debudant director Anthony d'souza is fine for a newcomer. He has the potential to make qualitative cinema in future. Sanjay dutt is alright in his respective role. But the real scene stealer is definitely the action king Akshay kumar. The actor enthralls ur with his performance. His comic timing, action sequences n the dramatic portions r a treat to watch. Zayed khan srpings in a pleasant surprise. Despite two towering personalities, he makes his presence felt. Lara dutta acts well. She also sizzles the screen. Rahul dev is competent. Katrina kaif's speciall appearance is refreshing. She looks hot. Kylie minogue raises the star quotient. Kabir bedi is hardly there. Overall,BLUE is a new experience for the audiences with some thrilling action sequences, amazing underwater sequences and bravo act by the khiladi kumar.

Blue a wasted Big budget film of the year. Wha happen to our story writers...who knows ?? Akshay looks tried to be over stylish, sanjay looks tired, lara is just show two piece model and Off course one of the producers Zyed got some good action scene. But one should watch this movie just for the Action, dont expect anything
