Last night I have watched much hyped movie of the season…sorry of 2009 – ‘Blue’.Till the release, the buzz is everywhere, online, offline, radio, TV, everyone are talking about that movie.

100 crore budget, shoot in Bahamas, underwater movie, hollywood crew, perfect casting, AR Rahman music – everything worked in favor that movie. One more buzz was that the movie is only 1 hour 57 sec.
When the movie released one week back, when critics shattered that movie, I thought thats their view. I thought of exploring it myself and went ahead to watch it last night.
After the movie is over, I had no expression in my face, not that yuck factor I got, when I watched ‘Tashan’. I thought why… then I found myself that I was in deep love of that movie (promos; thats the fact), before its release.
I found these 3 reasons why you shouldnot watch the movie:
- Can any Indian movie audience, watching all those drama, masala, senti…etc genre movies spare a movie without story. Absolutely not… BLUE HAS NO STORY….at all. The movie is absolutely a collection of 4 songs, 3 fights, some scenes involving designer clothes, great locales, champagnes, great babes…thats it… you really dont know when the movie started and when the interval came.
- Despite the ‘thinner-than-a-wafer-thin-storyline’, if you expect some good performances from any of the casting, you are terribly disappointed. All the actors acted putting flat face in the movie. Sanjay Dutt is in his worst form his career ( I was his fan some years before). The overweighted man has no life in his performance. For Akshay Kumar, it is another movie to party and freak out ( not act). He is totally sleeping in the movie. I dont want to talk about other actors… even a great actor like Kabir Bedi is totally wasted. He has no single dialogue throughout the movie.
- 100 crore budget, 1hour 57 minute movie, you will be really enthused to find out what’s there in that movie, sorry disappointment again….
Now the only 2 factors that you might consider to watch this movie
- If you are a fan of Hollywood high-adrenalin rush movies like The Fast and the furious stuff, some scenes of this movie are a definite treat to you, especially the chase scene in Bahamas is really superbbb… a bike chase of almost 6 minutes, which starts in a busy town, takes you to the woods, farm lands, rail tracks surrounded by amazing locales. Only few can visualize such master piece, thanks to the hollywood cameraman.
- Never ever Indian Cinema will bring you that amazing underwater experience as Blue… I can put this black and white. Right from the beginning (infact from the titles).. you will be enthralled by that underwater beauty.. again thanks to the cameraman..
Now I am leaving the decision to you.. Back to work…!!
