The most awaited movie of the year “Blue” with its canvas as huge as the ocean, comes alive on the Hindi screen this Friday. Like every biggie, this one also comes with the baggage of monumental expectations. With tremendous hype surrounding it, the inescapable question that crosses your mind is, will “Blue” live up to those colossal expectations?

“Blue” is set in the sun soaked while sand beaches of Bahamas. Sagar (Sanjay Dutt) is a simpleton, while his friend Aarav (Akshay Kumar) is a rich, ambitious businessman.

Sagar’s brother Sammer aka Sam (Zayed Khan) has inadvertently managed to rankle the mafia in Bangkok (Rahul Dev). He flees Bangkok and arrives in Bahamas. But the dangerous men reach Bahamas too. Sagar is the sole person who can wrestle with the ghost of his dead father.

If you are a die-hard moviegoer, you would draw parallels with a lot of international projects (especially The Deep) that were set in the ocean. In Bollywood, flashes of the Dharmendra - Jeetendra starrer ‘Samraat’ cross your mind instantaneously, but comparing the two is akin to comparing chalk and cheese.

Anyhow “Blue” grabs your attention from its opening titles itself. The marine life, which you may have watched on National Geographic Channel or Animal Planet, comes alive in all splendour at the start itself.
