The only reason i did not expect anything when i went to watch Blue was because i realised that all along the makers and promoters of the film talked about everything regarding the film except its content and story!!
It was the costliest Magnum opus in the history of Indian Cinema!! It was India's first under water film!! There were killer sharks and dare devil stunts!! International pop sensation Kylie Minogue was making her first appearance in a Hindi film! Lara Dutta- the female 
lead- learned swimming in three months for this under water adventure flick! An entire house was blown apart in a sequence!! A trailer truck carrying Mcguils was to fall lopsided on an expressway in one of the sequences!! Phew!! Phew!! Phew!!
lead- learned swimming in three months for this under water adventure flick! An entire house was blown apart in a sequence!! A trailer truck carrying Mcguils was to fall lopsided on an expressway in one of the sequences!! Phew!! Phew!! Phew!!You see what i mean? The film had all of the above and it looked fantastic but as i have always believed a little moderation of the above 'cool' elements and subsequent attention to the 'age old' screenplay would have caused no harm!!
The film is about a treasure that is on board a sunken ship. Akshay K wants the treasure and only Sanjay Dutt- a very paunchy, old and unfit guy on the island- the best under water diver around can get it for him!! Sanjay Dutt has never looked so bad in any of his films before! wonder how Mrs. Dutt allowed it? Zayed plays Sanjay's young and hot blooded broth
er...Lara is there because she has to be there as an element! Nothing happens till the interval. For a film as short as under two hours they could have done without an interval and people may have not realised that the first half was completely uneventful but alas the economics of popcorn!

They did make more sense!
Why are we getting carried away with the western style at the cost of content, I fail to realise but of course The whole thing is that ki bhaiya....
But even then the masses don't care who Kylie Minogue is!!! Why then??
