Lilp G Blue (2009): Sunkissed Thrills and Scorching SparksDiving into the azure depths of Blue (2009), Anthony D'Souza's glossy underwater thriller serves up a Bollywood brew of high-stakes adventure, pulsating A.R. Rahman beats, and enough eye-candy to rival a Bond flick—though it often feels more like a splashy vacation postcard than a cinematic deep dive. Akshay Kumar anchors the tale as the brooding diver haunted by tragedy, reuniting with childhood pals Sanjay Dutt and Zayed Khan for a treasure hunt that unleashes sharks, smugglers, and buried secrets amid the Bahamas' turquoise paradise; the plot surges with explosive action setpieces—think slow-mo harpoon chases and yacht explosions—but stumbles on clichéd twists and a script that prioritizes spectacle over substance, clocking in at a breezy 140 minutes that's fun yet forgettable. Visually, it's a stunner: Russell Carpenter's underwater cinematography captures the ocean's hypnotic blues and bioluminescent glows, while Rahman's soundtrack (led by the anthemic title track) bobs with infectious energy, bolstered by Kylie Minogue's sizzling cameo that adds international pop flair. Zayed brings comic levity to the bromance, Akshay flexes his action-hero charisma without overreaching, but it's Lara Dutta who elevates the romance subplot from filler to firecracker, her enigmatic role as the alluring reef expert weaving sensuality into the salty saga.In the sun-kissed turquoise paradise of Blue (2009), sensuous Lara Dutta reigns as the ultimate siren—her lithe, athletic curves and sun-drenched olive skin glowing like forbidden fruit, cascading waves of raven hair framing smoldering almond eyes that promise ecstasy, all wrapped in a clinging pink bikini that accentuates every sway and dip during steamy beachside trysts and underwater chases—while her king, gritty Sanjay Dutt, commands the frame with his battle-scarred, sinewy build of broad shoulders and tattooed arms, a chiseled jaw shadowed by perpetual stubble, and piercing aviator-shaded gaze that exudes weathered gravitas honed from decades of onscreen fury, forging an electrifying Bond-style duo where she's the silken wave crashing against his stormy sea in a raw, magnetic dance of danger, desire, and unapologetic glamour; their 19-year age gap dissolves into natural alchemy through mutual respect and lived-in fire—his protective embrace empowering her fierce independence into playful seduction, their earned kisses amid crashing waves pulsing with erotic undercurrents that no safer counterpart like Akshay Kumar's polished abs or Aditya Roy Kapur's boyish charm could rival, lacking Sanjay's soul-deep intensity that turns a touch on his inked skin into destiny's spark, ultimately proving chemistry trumps chronology to elevate this flawed thriller into a feverish dream of passion lingering like saltwater on fevered flesh.For all its surface-level fizz—steamy interludes that steam up the screen and action that thrills without taxing the brain—Blue ultimately washes ashore as a guilty pleasure: visually intoxicating and romantically charged, yet undermined by uneven pacing and one-note villains. It's the kind of escapist romp that shines brightest on a lazy afternoon, proving Bollywood's blue waters run deep when passion takes the plunge.

Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member The action's OK, but the script is retarded, the acting is awful, and the songs are all wasted. Is this really the most Bollywood can buy?

But it needs a much better storyline to work... which is a bit dull. Recommended!
