The Story in Brief (No Direct Spoilers): The movie starts with the titles and the song Rehnuma (Kaatil Adaa) plays in the background. The pre-interval portion moves at a very sluggish pace and only introduces all main protagonists in the movie. Initially the movie delves on the friendship of Akshay (Aarav Malhotra) and Sanjay Dutt whom he affectionately refers to as Saitji. Akshay prods Sanjay to embark on the search for the sunken ship called Lady Blue. However, Sanjay has some emotional past link with the ship that he gets angry whenever he hears Akshay speak of it. The movie then introduces Lara Dutta as Sanjus wife Mona in the song Aaj Dil Gustakh Hai. At the end of the song Lara and Sanju talk of his brother Zayed Khan (Samir). The movie then shifts to somewhere in a city and introduce Katrina Kaif, Zayed Khan and Rahul Dev. Katrina challenges Zayed for a bike race with Rahul and Zayed defeats Rahul. Seeing his talent in high speed biking, Katrina and Rahul offer Zayed a job of delivering highly riskly parcels within a time limit. On his first assignment, Rahul informs the police and police bikes join Zayeds tail. In the ensuing chase Zayed looses his parcel worth 50 million dollars. Rahul threatens Zayed with death and Zayed escapes to the Bahamas to meet his brother. In Bahamas, Zayed is welcomed back home. Akshay is particularly overjoyed to see Zayed and gifts him a Ducati bike. They also enjoy at a night club and we get to see the Chiggy Wiggy song and the song BLUE one after the other. The movie moves to the interval after one more argument between Akshay and Sanjay on the ship "Lady Blue". After the interval the movie really caches place with Rahul Dev landing up in Bahamas asking for his 50 million dollars. Akshay and Zayed then tries to convince Sanjay on recovering the treasure from Lady Blue and returning the money. When even Lara is threatened by Rahuls men, Sanjay agrees and the trio embark on the journey into sea to find the sunken ship. The song Bhoola Tujhe is played out during the journey. The rest of the story is about finding the ship & overcoming Rahul Devs thugs. The song Fiqrana is pictured on Akshay and Zayed and is shown during the end credits. The Actors: Zayed Khan has got the glamorous role among the lead actors. He has a stylish introduction and most of the fantastic action sequences are filmed on him. He evens has Katrina paired with him. The scenes of him and Katrina are really great. They do make a great pair. Sanjay Dutt has the next best role. As the caring protective and morally good brother Sanju does a fantastic job. Lara Dutt is great in Bikinis swimming around in the water. Akshay Kumar has a kind of side role. He has shades of grey in his role and his main objective is to convince Sanjay to go for the treasure. He doesn't have any of the meaty action sequences or fights filmed on him and this is a big let down to fans like us. He does have one of the underwater fights. But with a mask on, you dont see much of Akki in that fight. He doesn't have any solo song either. Rahul Dev was menacing as he is meant to be. Katrina Kaif looked cute and did her role well. Kabir Bedi is completely wasted in the short role without even a line to speak. The Script: As usual in Hindi films, the script is the major let down. Especially the climax. The climax looked so weak that it undid a majority of the impact that the technical effects had on the audience. The ending was so simple and there was no great stunts in the end to culminate the movie. The movie just ended abruptly when u were just getting ready to enjoy the fun. Also a major flaw in the script was the attempt to make Akshay look like a really good guy. It spoilt all the fun. The Direction & Stunts: Hats off to Anthony D'Souza. For the first time in Hindi cinema I have seen 100% perfectly filmed stunts. The stunts were so realistic that it is really a proud moment for Hindi cinema thanks to James Bomalick who was the special effects technician of Hollywood blockbusters such as Indiana Jones, Fast and the Furious, The Mummy, AI, Babel, Minority Report etc. The technical side is the highlight of this movie and Anthony has carried the movie well on his shoulders with the help of Bomalick. Dont know who has done the real good job. The chase where Zayed is chased by cops on Bikes is filmed so well, that it gave u the impression of a Hollywood flick. Even the bike chase in the woods was done well. There are two bike chases in the movie. I think Bomalick was using much of his "Fast & The Furious" ideas ! Photography Laxman Utekar and Pete Zuccarini have done a wonderful job picturing the sea, ship wreck and the Bahamas bringing the marine world live to the audience on the front benches. Hope it impresses them !!! Music & Sound Music by AR Rahman and Sound by Rasool Pookkutty was good. The sounds of the ocean and the bike chases were amazing. Overall As I said before, the pre-interval portion of the movie moves on at a very sluggish pace. Nothing much of the story is introduced here. Only all the lead actors are introduced one after the other. Spanning just around 2 hours, BLUE overall is movie with amazing visual effects and fantastic action sequences. However, the movie is let down by its weak script which doesn't give much scope to any of the lead actors, especially Akshay Kumar. I wonder why the movie is so short. Maybe they were aiming for a release in the USA? The movie could have been a tinge longer giving more time for the climax and some more scope to our lead actor Akshay. After all Akshay is the one actor with the biggest star value. He definitely deserved a better role. Anyways, I dont feel let down as I felt after watch CC2C. If people clap and appreciates the stunts, the movie may become an average grosser, but it needs to be seen if the movie can recover its huge cost. I would rate the movie in the category of Dhoom 2 and since Dhoom 2 was a huge grosser I hope the same for BLUE too. However, I am skeptic. My rating *** ( 3 stars out of 5 )

Blue is all gloss, no soul which insults the genre called action-adventure and its a shame that Taran Adarsh gave such a trashy film 4 ratings. Was Taran bought by Ashtavinyak or did he lose his senses to rate so highly of a crappy film?

I'll make it very simple. I watch movies for entertainment, not find flaws or criticize it and after the 120 mins of BLUE was over, all i got was loads of entertainment. As simple as that. Blue lacks on script, all right, but never through the course of the movie i was bored. The photography is mind boggling with some gr8 scenes [The Blue theme, the bike races, the underwater sequence, etc]. Blue is a must watch. People looking gor unnecessary logic need'nt waste time. The movie will do good without them, I'm sure. Grow up buddies. A Johny Depp or a Vin Diesel would've walked away with accolades from the same movie by all you people only. Hollywood is hollywood, no doubt, but we are'nt that bad.....ARE WE????

I can say onething these guys who are either biased or like opposition in Parliament that whatever the ruling party brings the things on the table WE WILL OPPOSE.. and they are doing the exact same things here. 90% of them who says it is bakwas or waste of time, believe either they never watched or didn't get tickets or belongs other group (Opposition in Lok sabha). But, people are not fool like you guys, it has already proved in it's very firstday that other two films with equal big star casts are looking mole infront of Blue, and compare to the success rate, other two even can't stand from Sunday onwards. Please, don't bark here, better wait to your Gay movie comes and then shout.

can watch. Not as expected Hmm hmm dgud action movie. Akshay was very good. He is an action hero. Hope After Wanted and Blue, next action movie with Sallu and Akki. Two best action Heroes in Bollywood. Dhoom 3 could be better with them rather than Srk and Saif.

One of the most disgusting movie, Big shame on a senior editor like taran adarsh to misguide the readers , sir either you stop lying or taking this business seriously. Movie undoubtly brilliantly shot, but a good body cant carry without a soul , Hats of to the producers who backed for such a project. either they where deaf when the movie was narrated or they had excess of money. Big let down. 1 star.
