story: It has often been seen that the more hype a movie creates before release, the worse it turns out to be afterwards. To some an extent, the same holds true for ‘Blue’ as well. Seriously, the 100 crores spent on the movie could have been put to a much better use, while saving the audience from wasting their money on multiplex tickets as well. What ‘Blue’ suffers from most is the lack of a strong story and good screenplay. In the absence of these two, even the breathtaking visuals and brilliant underwater images by Pete Zuccarini seem to wash out.Anthony D’Souza has taken many cinematic liberties as well. For instance, the treasure buried deep in the sea come from a ship that had sunk in 1949, while coming from Britain to India. Now, the confusion is how did Bahamas (where the ship sank and the treasure was lost) come in the sea route between Britain and India (any guesses?). The slick action sequences and engaging bike sequences surely keep the audience entertained for sometime, but the basic lack of screenplay has an impact here as well and the movie fails to sustain the thrill.The background score of ‘Blue’ is not as winning as a film of its genre should have. The dialogues and musical score are okay, with nothing exceptional. However, the cinematography surely makes you fall in love with Bahamas. The worst part of the movie is that the ‘climax’ suspense seems to be obvious right from the very start. As for performances, Akshay Kumar should seriously start paying some attention to the kind of films that he signs and his character in them. Sanjay Dutt is good, but needs to get back in shape (the paunch looks horrible). Zayed is okay, while Lara Dutta looks hot! In short.
