Blue Hindi Movie Review | Blue Movie Review
Director: Anthony D’Souza
Cast: Akshay Kumar, Sanjay Dutt, Lara Dutta, Zayed Khan
Storyline
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.
STARDUST VERDICT
Akshay Kumar, Lara Dutta and Katrina Kaif sizzle in this stylized adventurous marine thriller and should be able to attract viewers to theatres during this Diwali week. A good fare.

Blue is the perfect example of a good 100 crores going down the drain (sau karod paani mein daal dena). Sure the film promises some brilliant visuals and underwater images never seen before in Indian films thanks to one of the finest underwater cinematographers in the world (Pete Zuccarini). But sadly the credit list literally lacks the mention of a screenplay writer.
The scene opens in post-independence era of 1949 when a ship from Britain to India is bringing back its long looted riches. Strangely as per goofed-up geography, the shipwreck happens in Bahamas (that figures nowhere on the course of voyage). The treasure lies deep inside oceans untouched for more than half a century.
The scene opens in present-day Bahamas with good-friends Aarav (Akshay Kumar) and Sagar (Sanjay Dutt) fishing and fighting together. The latter addresses the former as Sarkar for being filthy-rich. But the former more aptly addresses the latter as Sethji (not for his possessions but perhaps his paunch). The fatigued seth with a potbelly pet romances a bikini babe (Lara Dutta) half his age.
Sagar’s brother Sam (Zayed Khan) is estranged from him for strange reasons. He races bikes rapidly and romances babes vapidly. Fleeing from mafia men, he returns to Big Brother house. By interval point you only relish the sight of fish but sadly get to see no meat in the plot.
In absence of a sane screenplay, the viewer is subjected to burnout action sequences and bike chases. By the time the oceanic treasure-hunt initiates in the climax, you see blue since the film is ‘in deep water’. Sadly the authentic aquatic life is put to no active use as even the sharks seem to be harmlessly herbivorous. Rather the regular hero-villain combats are replicated in the oceans to no groundbreaking effect with the marine life playing passive spectators to the proceedings.
Mayur Puri’s casual conversational dialogues sans any cinematic significance and the minimal background score fail to induce depth to the drama. The supposed suspense in the narrative is almost obvious from the start. A R Rahman’s musical score is plain passable this time. The art design by Narendra Rahurikar is decent. Laxman Utekar’s cinematography is fascinating as he captures the Bahamas beaches beautifully in his lens and uses effective close up frames on the cast. Designer Rina Dhaka deserves special mention for styling Lara Dutta at her sexiest best in those white, red, pink and bejeweled bikinis.

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.

Blue suffers from a dull script and inane dialogue, and is cursed with characters that are as shallow as the waters they paddle. 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 .How can you,even when you notice even the sharks are swimming peacefully around them, oblivious and uninterested even when underwater brawls result in blood being spilt
I’m going with one-and-a-half out of five for director Anthony D’souza’s Blue; beneath its flashy exterior, it’s one dead fish. Watch it strictly at your own risk.
Blue?
