Review:Bollywood's New Movie Blue


Starring: Akshay Kumar, Sanjay Dutt, Lara Dutt, Zayed Khan, Katrina Kaif
Director : Anthony D’Souza
Musician : A R Rahman



‘Blue’ is touted as Bollywood’s first underwater, action adventure thriller. Directed by Anthony D’Souza , the movie is inspired from Hollywood flicks like ‘The Deep’ or ‘Jaws’, but it is not a copy.

A treasure lays buried deep at the bottom of an ocean. There are many people who want to get there by risking life, be it theirs or someone else’s. 'Blue’ is touted as Bollywood’s first underwater, action adventure thriller. Directed by Anthony D’Souza , the movie is inspired from Hollywood flicks like ‘The Deep’ or ‘Jaws’, but it is not a copy.

The film is about a lost treasure, which three friends try to find undersea. Akshay Kumar , Sanjay Dutt and Zayed Khan play the respective roles.

Sagar (Sanjay Dutt) and Sam (Zayed Khan) are brothers, who find a friend in Aarav (Akshay Kumar) - a manipulative and scheming business-tycoon. Mona (Lara Dutta) is Sagar’s love-interest in the film and Nikki (Katrina Kaif) is a free- spirited individual with an ulterior motive. As emotions run high and motives run deep, the dark side of human nature lays bare. The characters grapple; initially with sharks, and then with their own pricking conscience as greed & betrayals take over and threaten to destroy their very existence. With adrenaline pumping action sequences and death-defying stunts, BLUE has a stunning visual quality, quite unique from that of its contemporaries and has all the potential of becoming a land-mark film in Hindi Cinema.

That’s not all, the fast paced racy action has been executed by action director James Bomalick who had set our pulses running with ‘The Fast and The Furious - Tokyo Drift’ earlier.When you’ve got such a stellar cast and crew, can the music be far behind? This all-round action packed grandiose has none other than Oscar winner A R Rahman composing the tracks for the film with the winning combination of Resul Pookuty engineering the sound. And just when you thought you’ve got the best combination, the icing on the cake comes in the form of International pop-sensation Kylie Minogue who has performed a special number in the film along with the leading cast of the film!!!

This movie apart from stunts of Akshay Kumar would also be known for a near death accident as survived by Akshya when during an underwater stunt scene being survived when surrounded with sharks hit his head but managed to escape though bleeding profusely. Watch some exciting shooting pictures of Blue in Bahamas.

Set in the Bahamas & Bangkok, the film revolves around the complex relationships shared amongst the lead characters and their search for a lost treasure.
