Blue review on blue blog

I used to wonder how jobless people are to write blogs on movie reviews, but after watching Blue I can understand how desperately you want to get your frustration out and warn as many people as possible not to make the same mistake as you did! That is spending 150 bucks for a movie with bad review and watching as if you own the theatre! I generally manage to get myself entertained by not so good movies which even include movies like maine pyaar kyun kiya (which was intolerable by many). But Blue was too out of the not so good movies league, my inexcusable mistake after the disastrous Home Delivery!

The movie starts with the introduction of all the characters, old Sanjay Dutt as Sagar with Lara Dutta as a babe girl friend (considering I cannot recall her name, you should be able to judge her role) and friend cum boss Akshay Kumar as Aarav. Sagar and Aarav seem to share a friendly bonding and Aarav wants Sagar to become rich to say bbye to his troubles and get settled with his hot girl friend. Now enter Sam (Sagar's brother) who is a bike rider in some far remote place (no mention of name). Sam gets into trouble working for a mafia and has to run away to his brother leaving his chick (Katrina) back whom she had known only for a day and was madly in love. The mafia manage to find Sam, kill his chick, threaten him for his life, kidnap Sagar's chick, blow off his house and so the whole family is on road. This forces Sagar to accept Aarav and Sam's long pending request of the treasure hunt for "Lady in Blue" burried under the oceans! They take the journey, get the required money (not all), throw it on the mafia's face and before they can walk away they are threatened to go back and get all the money or loose the girl. So they go back, only to realise later that this was a big plan by Aarav himself! Dont worry it is a hindi movie and Aarav is the hero. So the story that is later revealed goes like.. Aarav's grand father was getting this Indian treasure from Britain to India after independence, where on way it was drowned due to heavy storm. But he was rather accused of having taken over by greed and thereby removed from Indian Navy. So he wanted to find the treasure and take revenge from I wonder who! That brings it to the end with a dialogue indicating a sequel of it is in planning(wonder if the producer will dare to take it seriously after the response to this one)

It is not just the plot that is weak but also the cast. Zayed Khan has done nothing apart from bike riding. Though the first scene reminds you of fast and furious but after some more boom-boom you are forced to close your ears. Sanjay Dutt is looking horribly old and fat and makes you wonder how he managed to get a hot chick (or how can any sensible person pair them as gf-bf)

The only decent part in the movie are the songs which are a welcome change from the predictable and repeating scenes. For the guys, it might be a treat to watch parts of tanned Lara Dutta. The song Aaj dil gustakh hai is worth listening to, though it made me wonder if Blue Film would have been a better title for the movie!
Oh forgot one thing, Katrina turns out to be Aarav's wife and was involved in the plan! (hindi movie :))
