Third movie in a week, but the consequence was no better than what I had with the other two. Blue has been washed up and deserves to go down deep, failing the expectations it had built with the promos and the cast.
This movie has been claimed by media reports, to be the most expensive Hindi film ever made, with a very strong host of stars including Akshay Kumar, Lara Dutta, Katrina Kaif, Sanjay Dutt, a guest appearance by pop star Kylie Minogue; and also the crew members like composer AR Rahman.
But what is the end result of all this money and talent? An incredibly daft underwater thriller.
The plot essentially involves a coveted treasure, but the way it has been put into the story is lethargic. Akshay Kumar is rich, but obsessed with finding the treasure lying in a sunken ship called Lady in Blue. Sanjay Dutt, who is considered the only person in the world to unearth the treasure, is reluctant to even talk about the ship or the treasure. So Akshay puts up a plan around Zyed Khan (Sanjay Dutt’s brother) to get Sanjay in for finding the treasure. Lara Dutta is into the movie probably as an Eye-tonic, and there was no need to Katrina at all.
In the absence of a sane screenplay, we are subjected to some burnout action sequences and bike chases (those who have seen Torque, would notice the extremely close resemblance of the scenes). For most part of the movie, nobody goes near the ship, but when they eventually do, they find the treasure with such ease, that you wonder why nobody else did it before them.
The dialogues are juvenile and with a low IQ. The casualness in the conversations fails to induce depth to the cinema. And the so-called suspense about Akshay Kumar’s gray shade in the role can be easily anticipated and judged in the beginning itself.
For those who still want to watch the movie, should stay tune for – an astonishing cinematography at the beautiful location of Bahamas; the serene beaches and authentic aquatic life; dazzling and sexy Lara Dutta in the first half of the movie, and some nice songs to keep you awake. And of course, the bike lovers would love the Ducati.
