Blue(s)

Lord....why?

That was the overwhelming sense of self depreciation that I felt as I made my way down the alleys after catching Blue. It makes sense to pump 100 crores into a spectacle that was devoid of any storyline and featured nuggets like:

What do you think when 5 armed gunmen attack you?
1. Run for your life
2. Hide
3. Put on your shades

Yes Sanjay Dutt, the most obese version in recent history, did in fact do that. Limp dialogues and Lara Dutta being treated as the rich man's Neha Dhupia didnt help matters. She's present to shake her booty on the song "Aaj dil gustakh". She does have a fabulous body and well, that is about it. Almost no dialogues were given to her. Kylie, the oldest version yet, lights up the screen with her chic jiggy wiggy and then that is about it. Zayed Khan, in his tackiest hairdo yet, is an add-on that is just about as irritating when the Nachos guy announces that he can only serve up the chilli dip cause he has run out of the salsa dip. Katrina is passable and before I start dissecting the ridiculous salt and pepper goatee of Akshay Kumar let me just say that this movie is only saved by the breathtaking camera work. Please give it a miss, thats 100 crores that the producer will never see back.
