Few minutes into the film, after very good credits where they show the aquatic life, the desperation starts that when will the sea shots come, as the main focus is on them, thats what has been as real promotion so far. But they just dont come, and when they come, you know more or less that there is nothing new. Surely, they would have gone through immense work to do that much only but why promote it then as a film on hidden treasure in sea that much as they did.
Story is about 3 ppl, Aarav(Akshay), Sagar(Sanjay) and Sam(Zayed). Aarav is always keen to go deep inside the sea to get the treasure but only Sagar can help him who knows a lot about the treasure but something is stopping him to help Aarav. Sam, brother of Sagar is a overconfident chap who ends up in a mess with Rahul Dev. Circumstances make all 3 go for the treasure hunt. What happens after that .. well watch that urself ..
Performance wise Akshay was superb in almost every frame, but again in vain.
Sanjay Dutt was simply misfit in this role, he never looked impressive in any scene what so ever.
Zayed Khan was okish, his bike chase sequences were the good ones and to some extent his conversations with katrina.
Katrina, what to say of her dialogue delivery, same crap but good thing was, she looked so gorgeous. Her looks are to die for in the film.
Lara Dutta, she never looked so good to me than this film, probably actresses were used as glamour quotient in this film. She hardly has dialogues in film.
Kylie was fine in 1-2 dialouges she has.
Rahul Dev was nice.
Direction was just about fine. Cinematography without a doubt was the best part of the film. Dialogues also were quite good at places. Camera work was interesting, specially the chase sequences and the train sequence.
Also, the sound used during the sea shots were impressive, and specially the background used during the introductory scene of Zayed, that was very good.
What was the main and biggest flaw of the film, its Screenplay. You have got such a brilliant starcast, a idea of subject that's not been made yet in bollywood and still you end up making such a big mess of it, its just ridiculous. What do you say when a film of 2 hours at various points makes you feel bored or uncomfortable. Screenplay was simply terrible.
Climax was not appealing either and ofcourse, the sea shots except for the visual treat had no other impact at all.
Songs were just used for the sake of like chalo we will put song here as we need to use this song chahe kuch bhi ho . Blue theme song is damn badly used. Aaj dil gustaakh is just about tolerable in terms of picturisation. Chiggy wiggy is the perfect one in that terms. Bhula tujhe was probably the best song of the film(not audio wise). Wonder how they would had used udit song if it had been there.
Overall, Blue falls way short of expectations. Another Akshay film that promises a lot but delivers nothing at all.
