Blue - Hindi Movie Review

What is the USP of Bollywood’s latest offering “Blue“? The prompt answer to that would be underwater shots, great action sequences and Kylie Minogue. The international “Showgirl” makes her debut [as a musical guest] in to the Bollywood scene with the underwater action caper, which is the bigest novelty of the film.
Apart from that, “Blue” most certainly has an international feel to it, as it has promised throughout. It includes some of the best shot underwater sequences that has ever graced the screen. Even pre-release, a lot of hype had been created about the venture because of its claim of being India’s first underwater action flick.

Blue Movie Review | Blue Movie is is kick ass

Blue, the most awaited movie of the year - with its canvas as huge as the ocean - comes alive on screen this Friday. Like every biggie, this one also comes with the baggage of monumental expectations.

Let me keep it short - you haven't watched anything like this on the Hindi screen before. Never ever!

Anthony D'Souza puts his skills and the financial resources to best use. Blue is not merely a stunning looking film, it's also a well-structured film. Most importantly, it's a solid entertainer that packs in so much in those 1.58 hours.

Blue is set in the sun-soaked white sand beaches of Bahamas. Sagar [Sanjay Dutt] is a simpleton, while his friend Aarav [Akshay Kumar] is a rich, ambitious businessman.

Sagar's brother Sameer aka Sam [Zayed Khan] has inadvertently managed to rankle the mafia in Bangkok [Rahul Dev]. He flees Bangkok and arrives in Bahamas.

If you're a die-hard moviegoer, you'd draw parallels with a lot of international projects [especially The Deep] that were set in the ocean. In Bollywood, flashes of the Dharmendra-Jeetendra starrer Samraat cross your mind instantaneously, but comparing the two is akin to comparing chalk and cheese.

Blue grabs your attention from its opening titles itself. The marine life, which you may've watched on National Geographic Channel or Animal Planet, comes alive in all splendour at the start itself.

The story is uncomplicated and Anthony D'Souza garnishes it beautifully. If the aquatic life keeps your eyes wide open, the action sequences are sure to make your jaws drop to your knees. The bike chase at the start, yet another chase subsequently, the chase soon after the interval [atop a running train] is simply astounding.

On the flip side, the climax could've had more impact. The villain's track looks clichéd, but you tend to overlook the minor aberration since the film never falls prey to mediocrity.

Anthony D'Souza is a director to watch. This film has style as well as substance. Also, it requires courage and conviction to think out of the box and most importantly, execute the material with panache. There's not much scope for music in an action thriller, yet A.R. Rahman's score suits the requirements. The Kylie Minogue track, Chiggy Wiggy, is already popular. Sanju and Lara's romantic track, Aaj Dil, is sensuous. The song at the end credits, Fiqrana, has a lot of energy.

Sound design [Resul Pookutty] is fantastic. Action scenes [James D Bomalick and R P Yadav] are a treat and, in fact, one of the mainstays of the film. Dialogues [Mayur Puri] are effective, while the screenplay [Anthony D'Souza and Jasmine D'Souza] is well thought-out, especially towards the second hour.

Sanjay Dutt carries his part well, although he looks very well-fed in some scenes. Akshay Kumar steals the show with a sterling performance. Zayed Khan is highly competent.

Lara Dutta has never looked so good before. you can't overlook Lara's small but significant contribution to the film. Katrina Kaif [special appearance] looks gorgeous and performs exceedingly well.Rahul Dev is first-rate. Kabir Bedi is hardly there.

On the whole, Blue has style as well as substance. The film has everything going in its favour, right from its incredible star cast to the superb action scenes to the hitherto unseen marine life to the tremendous hype and hoopla. At the box-office, Blue will strike like a hurricane in the festive week. It should set new benchmarks in days to come.

Final word? Go, grab a ticket, if you haven't booked one yet. This under-sea treasure hunt is a kickass film. A must-see for all those who love adventure flicks.

“They were all rumors and only rumors. I am not a part of ‘Raavan’. I was initially a part of ‘Raavan’ but Mani sir thought he couldn’t do justice to my role… as to whatever he had promised me would definitely be in conflict with the actual story of the film once it is shot, ” said Bipasha adding, “So he took a call instead of being in an embarrassing position later on. He decided to tell me that and amicably we decided that it should not be done…hopefully we’ll work together soon. So now there’s going to be no Mandodari in the film.”

She cons people to join the gym by lying because by the looks of it, nobody wants to join it.”
