Blue (2009)

Simply A Masterpiece

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Absolutely Fantastic

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

I don't understand all the negativity and bad reviews of the self-proclaimed movie phd's aroundhere.It seems that these criticasters went to the movie to compare it scene by scene with Hollywood ones. Next time these guys see an Indian actor riding on a horse, they will conclude that that particular scene or perhaps the whole movie is a copy of a Hollywood Western.And so what if it is inspired by Hollywood movies? Finally, it's the result that counts. I like this movie because of it's great picturization! And Yes, the story could have been better, but it's not that bad eighter. Nevertheless, I've seen a good composed story and enjoyed with a lot of popcorn. High standards of cinema are achieved, despite the thin storyline. The last motorbike chase is really awesome. It's stunning composition generates a huge adrenaline boost for the viewer. And the underwater scenes where accompanied by such a nice music score. Yas Raj should learn from this movie how to use background music. A.R. Rahman has proved his versatility as music composor: he has produced very beautiful music for this movie. This man is an Artist! And Kiley's performance is super diva! The minor point in the story line is the anticlimax at the end. Akshay as a nice villain who needs to be hugged and his motive to save the family honor, disappoints big time. But thank god they spoiled only these last 5 minutes of the movie. I would rather see a more creative plot with a edge of my seat, mean, dirty, rude and crude result.Despite the lack in content, but due to it's high visuals and powerful action scenes this movie has repetitive value, so I will watch it again. The time for ''Pyaar ke Bokhaar'' (love fever) movies has passed, it's now time for movies like Dhoom, Don and Blue!

Touted as the most costly venture of Hindi Film Industry, "Blue" releases on this Diwali weekend to make the most of the Festival season. With tremendous hype in the air, fresh visuals on the screen and never before underwater action for the viewers, the movie had all the ingredients of becoming a blockbuster before its release. But now after going through the watery experience of 2 hours in the theater, I can only think about the huge amount of money spent on such a weak and baseless project.It really doesn't feel nice to write negative reviews about a project in which a lot is on stake in monetary terms. But what can be done, if the movie itself doesn't provide you anything positive or worth praising to rave about. Though, it starts off quite well with a brilliantly shot sequence where Akshay Kumar and Sanjay Dutt drive out a Shark from their underwater net. But after that, the movie goes on sliding on a never ending downwards slope sinking towards an unknown destination.Revolving around a conspiracy to reach a hidden underwater treasure, "Blue" has a completely uninteresting first half, with nothing appealing for the viewer related to its main theme. In fact if you simply skip it off and start watching the movie after its intermission, then you miss nothing but only a few chase sequences and two hot babes, Katrina and Lara Dutta. Apart from this, the main plot of the movie actually unfolds after the interval, when the three men are set to go for the treasure hunt. So, it all comes down to the last 30 minutes of the flick, where you desperately start waiting for something very exciting to happen related to the hidden wealth and bloody sharks.But unfortunately or rather very irresponsibly nothing happens even in the concluding moments of the movie and its climax simply leaves you confused and annoyed. There is no excitement felt as the treasure is found, there are no bloody games played with the sharks as shouted in the promotional campaign and there is not a single thrilling moment in this so called never before underwater thriller. Yes, there are breathtaking undersea shots worth watching and there are well conceived high quality actions sequences too, but…… Where is the content to win over the viewers? Where is the famous charming spell of Akshay Kumar and Sanjay Dutt? Where are the Sharks, heavily promoted in the T.V. campaigns? Where is the excitement which should be there in a treasure hunt movie?Besides this, the Kylie Minogue song is clearly added deliberately, which though sounds nice to the ears but has got nothing extraordinary to offer. All the chase sequences featuring Zayed Khan before and after the intermission are only there to add more glamour and gloss to the project. And as always the two gorgeous ladies feature in the movie as there can never be a Hindi Film without any hot heroines to set the screen on fire.Talking about its performances, there is neither the actual Sanjay Dutt in the movie nor the real Akshay Kumar. In other words you can only find some glimpses of their famous charisma on the screen in few particular scenes here & there. And the most annoying dialogues are where Akshay addresses Sanjay Dutt as "Seth Ji". I really couldn't find anything interesting or entertaining in this unique way of calling him "Seth Ji". May be the writers found it fresh & new, but this was earlier used by Mallika Sherawat in one of her movies too. On the other hand, Zayed Khan, surprisingly shines in his side role and Lara Dutta simply sizzles in her revealing outfits. Lara is undoubtedly looking more glamorous and different than any of her earlier releases. Both Katrina Kaif (in special appearance) and Rahul Dev have done justice to their short and usual roles.Musically, A. R. Rahman comes out with a few melodious numbers in the soundtrack, out of which "Chiggy Wiggy" has been already made famous by an extensive promotional strategy. Otherwise I think with Kylie Minogue being there for him, Rahman could have belted out something more exciting & sensational for her. Moreover, it was sad to see the finest song of the movie, "Fiqrana" being played as a music video along with the end credits.In short the best part of the movie is its Cinematography and that's it. The film simply fails to impress in any other department completely and only one man gets all the blame and he is the debutant director Anthony D'Souza. With such enormous amount of resources available at his disposal he should have given more stress on the story, script and content of the movie to ensure its box office success. But ignoring these essential elements of cinema, he focuses more on the look and feel of the project, which has never been the Box-Office success mantra ever. He surely has got the talent to deliver and may come up with a winner next time, but with "Blue" he can only expect the least.

Without a shadow of a doubt this is one of the worst film of the year. I never believed it would actually top such title as "Kambakkht Ishq", "Love Aaj Kal" or "Chandni Chowk to China" but it did. The plot and the script is very poorly written with some dialogues being straight lifted from well known movies.I am not going to divulge the plot because it is so simple with one twist in the end. After watching the first 30 minutes you will be able to tell what is going to happen for rest of the movie. But I have to say the cinematography was good, i think that was only good thing about the movie.In conclusion I would like to say the script is poorly written with equally bad plot, its delivered very poorly by the cast with many dialogue and continuity errors which are obvious to the audience during the run of the movie. The only plus point is you get to see Lara Dutta in bikini which she looks wonderful in but not the acting!

Dear Friends Blue is a full time pass movie so leave your critical mind at home and just flow with the fun thrill and comedy involved in the movie. The start of the movie is pretty thrilling with some nicely directed races. The general canvas of the movie is very grand and pleasing to the eye. Kylie Minogue really sizzles and this was the best song (chiggy wiggy)i liked out of the sheer naughtiness and a very catchy tune. The acting by all the actors is merely average and they are not entirely to blame for it as the story only did not allow them to put forth something special. But a special mention of Lara Dutta she just sizzles the screen with her bikinis and carries herself with a lot of sensuality. She is I think one of the most seductive Heroines of the Hindi cinema right now. Also i want to urge all the visitors of IMDb to right comments and at least vote so that our views can help each other. All in all if you have 2 hours i would suggest you go and watch this movie its worth one time watch at least. Regards
