Well, Its not the worst movies ever made But definitely not worth a second watch. Pathetic Performances, Almost No Storyline, Good for Nothing Script. On the positives, It has some kick ass action sequences and ammazing under water photography. Go only if you have nothing much to do this weekend. And restrict yourself to the normal seats, dont waste money on the Gold/Premier Class.
First things first, The movie has almost nothing on the substance front. One line story, Bad performances, Stars who dont fit in characters, no script, no direction, almost nothing. What it lacks there, it compensates on the style front. Lara Dutta in her usual cleavage flaunting best(or should i say breast.. hehe), Classy action sequences, Kick ass marketing with all the hype around it being the most expensive movie ever made(although i couldnt understand WHERE that money was spent), Decent background score etc.
Plot : As already established, its about a treasure hunt with a few twists and turns (The bad part is that the hunt itself lasts for 15-20 mins and the build up to the hunt stretches almost 1.5 hours) and honestly i was not impressed by nothing there.
Performances: Not a single name comes up. Akshay kumar anyways is only known for his action sequences (although in Blue i dont even remember a single one from him) and not his acting prowess. Sanjay Dutt should take a break from action movies and concentrate on stuff like lokhandwala. He in his 50+ looks such a miscast that its almost pathetic. And Top that with her pairing with LARA.. I mean dude.. get a life.. Zayed khan: No comments. Lara Dutta: Does her bit in those tiny winy bikinies.. (Hey.. what else you expect from her). Katrina : Yeah, she is there too in a couple of sequences. NOBODY impressed.
Music: A Couple of tracks are nice but i doubt if you take 'em with you after the movie is finished. Background score is kick ass. Those chase sequences have some really ammazing background score. Full points there.
Technicals : Okay, THIS was the only saving grace for the movie. The phoren cinematographer captures the underwater shots ammmazingly well. The lighting, the colours, everything just perfect. I think for me he was the actual hero for me. Honestly speaking, I think the director was too bored to direct the movie so he just gave some extra money to the action coordinator who did a pretty good job in most sequences (specially the earlier chase sequences, which became repetitive later on though).
Positives: Hmmmm.. Action Sequences, Cinematography and Ishtyle Quotient
Negatives: No story, Pathetic Script, Bad Performances
Overall : Only style no substance. Watch only if you dont have anything better (or as i always say "Less worse") to do. Got some extra cash to spare. And you dont really bother about storyline, script, performances and like a movie for ammazing marketing and hype!!! ;-)
Feel-O-Meter: 5/10 (2 each for action and underwater cinematography and 1 for sheer scale and bravado)
