Blue was promoted as India's first underwater action adventure besides being the most expensive film of all time.
What's not: When a film is just over two hours long and still seems burdensome, you know something's wrong with it. And it's all because of a lack of a tightened script and a novel screenplay. At the end of it, Blue comes across as a bunch of good-looking scenes put together, devoid of depth or emotion. Anthony fails to even establish any connection between the characters be it Akshay-Sanjay or Sanjay-Zayed or Lara-Sanjay each relationship seems superficial. Sanjay's refusal to go look for the treasure drags for far too long. And his reasoning is not even convincing. The loopholes are far too many that's why all the multiple bike chases, babes prancing in bikinis, blowing houses, guns and Kylie Minogue have limited impact. There's no emphasis on the dialogues too Akshay's repeated 'sethji' and 'sarkar' routine gets on your nerves after a while. Katrina's guest appearance makes no impact.
What to do: Watch it if you're a die-hard action fan and don't care much for sense or story.
