USER REVIEW: Blue (2009)
October 17th, 2009 - 4:44 am ICT by Sampurn Wire ( 7 comments )
While most movie critics have done their job of dissecting BLUE to be a directorial disaster and having a weak story line, what they have actually done is to benchmark it to a typical Bollywood movie.
How many of the present lot of directors would think of having the lead star without a heroine for the entire length of the movie, and go all out to make a movie that we would love to have but only if offered by a Hollywood director not from a “desi’ director.
While Indians have liked Jaws and Titanic, National treasure was a big hit, no one questioned the logic behind the story or any of the scenes, but, when a desi director does international quality work, everyone sits up and puts in their two bits of opinion.
A great man had once said– Opinions are like belly buttons– everyone has one.
The so called critics are making comments more on a personal front with some critics giving it bad reviews only because their competitors have raved about it or because they share a bias or loyalties as you may call it to certain producers.
In BLUE the underwater sequences are beautiful, the bike races world class, the actors especially Lara and Akshay look stunning and very different from their earlier movies.
Overall the movie is visual treat and you can sit back and enjoy the scenic beauty of Bahamas.
As a movie buff all I can say is every movie is special, you got to go figure for yourself and stop being a football of other people’s opinions.

A pathetic movie without any proper plot and they tried to sho dat it is a suspense thriller but actually the suspense was clearly indicated before it was opened…..
Producers claim dat they have spent 100 crores on this movie but i guess they spent around 50 crores just to give away to stars and nthing else….

I agree completely with this review. It is an excellent movie with great visuals and stunts. Akshay has done a very good acting job. Lara locks awesome, Raul does an excellent job and Zayed and Sanjay are great too.
This movie was created to take Bollywood cinema to the next level.
Most people just don’t understand what it takes to shoot a real movie in a real location with real sharks!
Not just a silly comedy in a backlot with no story what so ever. bad stages, sets and no continuity.
Blue is a great adventure film. Bollywood should take is as an example to make better movies and produce movies with international quality.

hey lucky or whatever ………….just want to say that film is just for fun….we know in real life” it won’t happen”…it is just like reading comics but some hypocrite like you think that movie has to link with us. what do you mean by plot….you hypocrite, if you want to see plot and today’s world ……..don’t watch movie look into the mirror…you will see the real jackass with all plots and whatever..movie is just for fun where you go and watch for 2 0r 3 hours…talk little and back to your own world. thats how we live in developed country….the problem of developing country is that you think you are always low and small compare to anything for example compare to any actors,,,compare to movies…compare to cricketers…bullshits have you born or did your mother give the birth to impotent who can’t do anything by himself but worship cricketers, actors…jesus…you sick basters…you don’t have your own identity…they are doing their jobs ….just their jobss…assshole..do your own
