Most awaited big budget movie movie,BLUE, which showcases the novelty of underwater beauty and action sequences is no way near the expectations.
The film only follows usual bollywood storyline and execution is also below average. Camera, music and sound are the areas which give relief to the audience from boredom.

storyline:
The story takes place in picturesque locations of Bahamas. Sagar, a sea diver (sanjay dutt) and Aarav (akshay) are friends and Mona (lara dutta) lover of Sagar.
Story takes a turn when Sam (zayed khan) flees from Bangok and reaches Bahamas to avail help from his elder brother Sagar. Then villian Gulshan (Rahul Dev) follows sam there too.
At last Sagar and Aarav decides to search the hidden treasure, which was left abandoned in the sea after a ship wrek in 1949, to help/save sam.

Presentation:
The film starts with title cards showing the beauty and marine life inside the sea, which was amazing. The story moves in a slow pace and the viewers never feel any tension or punch during the story development. Songs placed here and there in the movie are good to hear and nice to watch, but all of them are totally unwanted in the story.
Next thing which is worth mentioning are action scenes. The bike chasing sequence in bahamas (through road and rail) is amazing and thrilling. Also underwater expeditions too are interesting.
We should thank the cinematographer Laxman Utekar and sound designer Pookkutty for capturing the under water beauty and sound marvelouslly.
Actingwise, nobody delivered performance which is worth mentioning. Akshay is boring as usual and Sanjay had nothing to do. Lara's underwater bikini scenes were watchable. Zayed khan was good compared to others. Katrina and Kylie Minogue were also there in film (special appearance).
Blue can't thrill you if you expect something high. Technical depatments are the areas where we can find some excellence and freshness.
So,try to get audio and video songs of movie and watch it. If u still want to see the film, wait until DVD's are out.

Verdict: Below average.
