I
hated this movie so much that
I wanted to write a review to
prevent others watching it in
the cinemas. Blue is a movie
about a group of Indians searching
for a sunken vessel which had
highly valuable Indian artifacts.
The story line is wafer thin
and predictable in the first
place. Mishmash of national
treasure need from Speed and
Pirates of Caribbean
Secondly it is a mishmash
of scenes from different Hollywood
and regional Indian cinema.
For example the action sequence
at Sanjay Dutt's hut is a copycat
from the famous Bad boys. I
enjoyed the action sequence
and chasing scene on the train
and I was laughing because I
have seen the same scene in
a YouTube video which is tagged
as a funny and mind-blowing
Balakrishna’s action stunt
(famous Telugu star). Has anyone
not heard about a word called
originality? And where did the
truckloads of money go?
Dialogues lack nativity in the
film. It looks like famous Hollywood
movie dialogues mixture. I wonder
why script writer didn’t
use English when writing Lara
Dutta’s help call from
the boat. I’m pretty sure
Bahamian Coast guards would
not understand Hindi.
The biggest logical loophole
in the movie which I didn’t
understand was why on earth
the lady in the Blue has to
travel all the way to Bahamas
when she was supposed to be
travelling in between England
and India. Where is the geography
folks? I’m pretty sure
the captain would have heard
something called Suez Canal.

There are two types of movies - one that
makes you emotive (love, pain, sorrow, humor
and enjoyment) and second one which makes
you think. Blue belongs to second category
which makes you think that anyone can make
good couple of or even four films with the
budget of money invested in Blue.
Final verdict: Blue is
better to be sunken
