Bollywood and Glamor go hand in hand, and the statement does not need any proof. But apart from glamor, one more thing that has the privilege of companionship with Bollywood is, CRIME.
Crime and Bollywood have now become synonyms of each other. So many actors till date have got into some kind of anti-social incidents. The industry got the first JHATAKA in the form of Sanjay Dutt. The son of the most reputed duo in the filmy duniya, Nargis and Sunil Dutt. Sanjay was arrested under the TADA for owing AK-47 rifles, in 1993. He is still fighting for his innocence in the Supreme Court.

But his contact with crime has another history!! Sanjay Dutt got into drugs while still in high school. His mother’s death due to cancer worsened Sanjay’s drug habit. Sunil Dutt then sent him to a rehab center in Texas. After attending a rehabilitation program in the United States, a sober Dutt started working in films again.

Another famous actor who followed Sanju Baba’s footsteps is Salman Khan. Became notorious with the hunting of Black Buck in Jodhpur, while shooting for Hum Saath Saath Hain. The irony is that except Salman Khan everybody else who was involved in hunting act is now out of any legal effect, but Salman is the only one who still bearing the consequences and that was not the end. After few years he was found guilty for driving his car through a footpath causing the death of 1 person and injuring 4 people. In between the two, there was the Aishwarya-Vivek episode that brought Salman in the lime light, of course for the bad reason.

Firoz Khan’s son Fardeen was arrested while buying drugs in May 2001. Though he came up with apologies and said sorry to all his fans. FANS?? Anyways lets not get into that.
Last but not the least, how can we forget Shiney Ahuja?? One morning everything became not so shiny for the actor. His maid accused him of raping her. He was arrested and then released after few days. But the case is still on.
Not only males but the female actors of the industry have also became the part of this dirty game.. Mandakini, Monika Bedi are the prominent names.
There are so many other examples too..  seems that fame has its own drawbacks!!

Review:

A treasure lays buried deep at the bottom of an ocean. There are many people who want to get there by risking life, be it theirs or someone else’s.

‘Blue’ is casted as Bollywood’s first underwater movie, Directed by Anthony D’Souza , the movie is inspired from Hollywood flicks like ‘The Deep’ or ‘Jaws’, but not a copy.

The film is about a lost treasure, which three friends try to find undersea. Akshay Kumar , Sanjay Dutt and Zayed Khan play the respective roles.

With a budget of almost 100 crores, making ‘Blue’ one of the most expensive movies made in the Indian cinema.’Blue’ kick starts with a song shot under water which almost gives you an experience of deep sea diving as you get a closer look into the marine life. Two minutes into the movie and there you go, a shark scene executed by James D Bomalick with Akshay and Sanjay, probably the first and last, which is quite disillusioning because that is the only stunt you get to see with sharks as in the remaining film they seemed to have depicted well fed sharks who quite surprisingly did not bother to attack any human beings around them. What happens next, throughout the movie is a phase of events, which leave you unfazed and get out of the theatres as quick as you can.

‘Blue’ is a story of Sagar (Sanjay Dutt) who works with Aarav (Akshay Kumar) for his fishing business in Bahamas and is also a deep sea diver who knows the Pacific Ocean like the back of his hand. The movie is for the treasure in a sunken ship lady in blue, which is the sole motive of Aarav’s existence and the reason behind that, is revealed only in the climax. All is going fine in the life of Sagar and his girlfriend Mona (Lara Dutta), when his younger brother Sam (Zayed Khan), who is a rebel and had run away from home five years back finds himself in a soup in Bangkok and runs back to big bro Sagar for help. Well, nothing new and novel about the story, but the crux is that whilst you are watching the movie you realize that the screen play is very weak and so is Anthony D’Souza direction. The story could have been made into a suspense leaving some space for the audience’s imagination, however a bad screenplay by Mayur Puri, breaks the backbone of ‘Blue’.

While Indians have liked Jaws and Titanic, National treasure was a big hit, no one questioned the logic behind the story or any of the scenes, but, when a desi director does international quality work, everyone sits up and puts in their two bits of opinion.

A bad story is further affected by bad dialogues, again by Mayur Puri. Akshay Kumar looks hot and his dressing sense is quite good too, while Zayed is at his usual best, the bad boy look, Sanjay disappoints as he looks haggard and completely unfit for an action movie, while the surprise in the movie is sizzling Lara sporting four to five different and colorful bikinis and looking hot and irresistible. While Rahul Dev (Gulshan) is average and Katrina Kaif(Nikki) who has just a cameo in the movie, looks wild with her looks and breaks out from her delicate image. It is not that the movie has no ups, of course! it is a visual treat as it has some excellent cinematography by Laxman Utekar who captures the beautiful city of Bahamas in a scenic manner and the underwater sequences are worth a watch. Especially, some awesome underwater stunts by all the four actors. In terms of action outside water, ‘Blue’ fails, with some draggy long bike chases and races. The bike chase between Akshay and Zayed is quite long. All underwater stunts and antiques are excellent and quite fresh for an Indian audience, all credits for the efforts taken by the actors performing them and by underwater cinematographer Pete Zuccarini.

The music of the film is average and does not sound like A.R. Rahman’s work.

What is commendable about the movie is the guts to attempt such a movie in Indian cinema, the execution of the under water sequences, the stunts by the actors and capturing the beautiful marine life on camera. But on second thoughts with no story and screenplay in place and unlively performances with no emotional connect with audience. Two stars for the efforts by everyone involved with ‘Blue’.

You must be thinking what?? Guys I am talking about humare filmy stars campaigning for the elections…. Yeah! Everybody from Salman Khan to Amir Khan to Sanjay Dutt is busy marketing for the candidates in the elections.. And I guess many more will do the same, if given a chance..

The Bollywood stars and the Politicians have become so involved with each other that who is over taking what, has become a matter of discussion..

Actors becoming Politicians and Politicians moving towards the silver screen is becoming common now-a-days!

This has gone to such an extent that, apne Amar Singh ji ka house had been converted into a set, for uncle Dev Anand’s upcoming venture….

But the question is, would all this really help the country to witness a government, which would really work for the benefits of the people..????

Would anybody go to cast his vote to a deserving candidate, only ‘coz Amir Khan has told him to do so (on Television)?

Would people really vote for the deserving candidates or will they go for the ones, whom their favorite actor is endorssing??

All these questions might remain unanswered for years and years, but if the common man really wants to get out of this confusion then it is necessary to follow only one rule, i.e., “Dikhave par mat jao, apni akal lagao”
