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.
