Reflections from the pensieve

I shall start with a dialogue of the movie, Lara Dutta is tryin to call up the coastguards in Bahamas, following a scuffle on the yacht. she says and i quote, "May day Mayday, Coastguards, humein help ki zaroorat hain". period. Reaction: all of us exclaim, "Bahamas...... hindi". Blue has really globalized Hindi taking it to as far as Bahamas. Kudos Kudos. So that my dear friends pretty much sums up over a 100 crore disaster from the debutant director Anthony. Set in a scenic Bahamas the movie drives you crazy with its exaggerated pyrotechniques where every bike truck seems to be full of explosives and start off even if you scratch one of them, average acting (please leave out Zayed Khan i m not considering his acting, i mean this guy is so chillaxed that he loses 50 mn $ worth bag that too of a mob and is walking as if nothing happened somebody please tell him he has to act also apart from riding the bikes), stunts are boring save for a few (esp the one where the bike crashes into the train thats a good take), and stupid screenplay. The positives starts with the Chiggy Wiggy, an item number which stays divine until Akshay yanks off a Punjabi number, the scenery and and..... nothing else. Sanjay Dutt looks out of place i mean his body (you should read what Masand has to say about his looks), Lara Dutta has nothing to wear save a two piece most of the time, Akshay Kumar looks good but lacks the punch (this would be his hattrick action disaster movie after Chandni Chowk and Tasveer), Zayed Khan... why m i even talking about him, Rahul Dev looks okie dokie and Katrina Kaif why was she there in the movie???? What is the movie all about its about a treasure that Britain wanted to ship back to India God knows why which gets capsized and the captain is courtmartialed cause the army thinks cause he s the sole survivor he sank the ship and has hid the treasure, man our army had such bad communications that time i tell u that they couldn't figure out a storm i guess. So the captain commits suicide and guess what Mr Akshay Kumar is the grandson of the chastised captain trying to salvage the family's pride (which is only revealed in the end) So he befriends Sanjay Dutt tries to convince him to find the treasure who does not cause he and daddy went for diving and daddy gets trapped in the treasure and dies. sad yaar very sad. so Akshay decides to get Zayed into the act by tagging a gangster Rahul and ofcourse his own wife Katrina who happily agrees (what crap), so our man Zayed is all caught up in mob and police and asks Dutt sahab for his help, the trio go down and "bingo" go straight to the treasure "as if it was in his backyard", Masand. Common Mr Dutt you could have told the Indian govt they could have saved you all the trouble but no you wanted to dig it out with your friends so let it be. Anyways the movie ends with some underwater fights and above yacht ones, and man you should watch the climax where our friend Akshay dives down with his bike, yes yes into the ocean with his bike, i thought given the awesome script our man would ride his bike on the surface of the ocean and get to the coast, but alas i my dreams crashed and our man survives the ocean with the air from the tube, yeah bike tyre tube, somebody please tell him thats not oxygen that he s breathing. Gosh if only they had put some sense in the story it would have been so exciting. As one of my very good friend said, "If you think Monday blues are terrible/horrible.....then watch "BLUE"", IP rights Mythreya. and so does another one ""BLUE".... India's most expensive comedy", IP rights Arun. So as Masand concluded "watch it at your own risk". and i end the quoting something from the movie "Sabse bada nasha hota hain risk", :( sadly we took the risk and have a bad bad hangover.
