Blue
Oct 20th
| Director Anthony D Souza movie Blue has set a new trend in Hindi film industry Bollywood with some stunning underwater photography. Said to be over Rs. 100 crore in budget, Blue doesn’t really able to justify the mega budget it has been allotted. Akshay Kumar plays a role of a rich man living in the Bahamas who loves his lady and the good life. He plays the flirty cool dude with a hidden agenda with amazing natural ease.
He befriends Sanjay Dutt, a fisherman/diver who lives in a sprawling designer bungalow and flaunts a glamorous wife (Lara Dutta). There are vague references to Dutt’s dark memories about a sunken ship. On the other side, Dutt’s brother Zayed Khan gets arm-twisted by some goons in Bangkok so he lands up in the Bahama’s, leaving his girl (Katrina Kaif) behind. The characters live in a world of item numbers and stunts with bikes and jacuzzis on them. And Lara Dutta frolics in the sea looking like male fantasy personified, before she is kidnapped by Bangkok baddie (Rahul Dev) out for revenge. In the first half, the director takes you through sunny Bahamas and Bangkok, and tries to establish a relationship of sorts between the lead characters. The much talked about treasure hunt, which was allegedly at the heart of this film, comes and goes before you can say ‘Blue’. Akshay Kumar wears some cool suits (designer Narendra Kumar Ahmed) and sports a grey goatee. Sanjay Dutt who wears sunglasses looks great in the fight scenes. Zayed Khan gets to ride some hot Ducatti motorbikes and exchange very strange, stilted dialogues with Katrina Kaif (“special appearance”). The film has some cool songs portraying Lara Dutta & Kylie Minogue in hot sizzling dresses. |
