Blue,
one of the most anticipated
movies of the year has finally
hit the screen. Akshay Kumar,
Sanjay Dutt, Lara Dutta, Zayed
Khan and Katrina (spl Appearance)
are all geared up to entertain
you. But will they? Ashtavinayak
after the Kidnap and Luck debacle
was expected not to come out
with another high budgeted action
thriller but they ended up making
the mother of all action movies
in terms of budget. This stylish
underwater thriller is made
at a budget of 95 crores, the
highest in Indian film industry
till now. Will this high priced
risk payoff?
The movie is about a 60 year
old treasure which has been
lost in transit from Britain
to India near the Bahamas. Aarav
a rich businessman in Bahamas
is always behind his friend
Sagar who works for him about
the treasure of the Lady in
blue. Sagar has a secret and
he is not ready to share it
even with his wife Mona and
his brother, Sam. But when Sam
gets into trouble with a mafia
gang and is being demanded a
pay off of $50 million in two
days, all hell breaks loose.
Sagar now has to come out of

to save his brother. What's the secret?
Can Sagar save Sam's life? Is Aarav the
man who seems so perfect is actually perfect?
Find the answers in a theatre near you.
The first time director, Anthony D'Souza
has come up with a nice concept and even
though his amateurish direction comes to
fore in many scenes, he does pull it off
all together. Many underwater scenes with
minimal to no dialogues have been taken
brilliantly, and the work they have done
in almost all the chase sequences, especially
the bike sequence in Bahamas, is worth mentioning.
The movie's climax is half baked. If only
the climax is treated properly, the movie's
impact would have been much better. Apart
from that, there are few effects which confuse
you and the abrupt song inclusion in the
narrative doesn't help either. But this
movie is not to put your brains to work
but to give you a theatrical experience,
which Indian action movies have yet to capitalize
on.
Technically the movie is brilliant with
spectacular camera work by Laxman Utekar,
especially the way the underwater sequences
were shot. Never before seen stunts underwater
is a joy for any action lover. Though Rahman
fails to create his usual magic in the music,
which still is hearable, he has taken the
background score to the next level. Editing
is done stylishly with fast cuts which make
this 1 hour 54 minutes movie go rapidly.
Special effects and visual effects are one
of the highlights of the movie as it takes
the graph of the movie to new heights.
Akshay Kumar enjoys his work and his amazing
screen presence scorches the screen. Sanjay
Dutt is brilliant as usual but has minimal
expression needed in his palette this time
around. Lara Dutta oozes sensuality and
her trimmed look goes well with the bikini.
She has no scope of acting. Zayed Khan again
overplays his role but fits the character.
Katrina Kaif has little to do but does that
with confidence and her outfits looks amazing
too. Kiran Bedi has no-role to rave about.
Overall a wondrous experience that has to
be cherished. A roller-coaster ride which
is sure to win big bucks at the box-office.
Please catch this movie in the theaters
which possesses high end sound quality and
enjoy the marvel of motion pictures.
Verdict:
Cherish-able theatrical experience
