[arr] Blue Movie Revew | 3 Songs wasted in the movie | Conversation with Rahman
Hey All, It was really a happy day for me yesterday and also a sad day. I have got an exclusive chance to chat with Rahman where Rahman participated in an event with two other Musicians for a one and half hour conversation show. The show was like Meet and Greet Rahman where hardly 50 persons were present. The venue was Emirates PAlace Hotel, Abu Dhabi where Blue premiere was also screening. Ive posted this in the group and ive also got more than 10 passes with me for the show. But the mail got in the group late, so people couldn't drive in and come. In an exclusive chat with fans, I got more than 10 minutes to have conversation with him, A short description Me : How can you include a Tamil song in a Hollywood Movie, Sir ? ARR : Its like Music is a Global Anthem, and it hasnt got any Language barriers. The directors had belief in me, so I could experiment anything I want. :) Me: How would be your feeling like, you had put more effort in a movie and the directors waste those songs and also the movies goes flop in Box Office ? ARR: Yeah it hurts and it happens. We never knew the movie will be a hit or flop when we are doing the music. And yeah failures is a part of life but that balances my life and my career. Me : Have you checked rahmaniac.com ? ARR : No, am yet to do that :P Me : Which is your favorite musical instrument ? ARR : Now its African Mont..something like that ( I dont remember the name ) After the conversation he gave me an autograph and left the hall where the show happened. Later met up Akshay, Lara, Antony, Zayed, ARR in the Red Carpet of the premiere. Harldy some Arabs were there, and they dont even recognize the stars. In the premiere, when ARR walks in he got a Stand up Evasion and was treated most beautifully than any other stars. The movie was OK but it had no importance for songs.

I doubt that.. finally I realised the track when the electric guitar joined... at one point of time they started playing Mausam Escape WOW!!! that was a BIG surprise for crowd.

[arr] Kylie Minogue takes India by storm
http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/hollywood/news-interviews/Kylie-Minogue-takes-India-by-storm/articleshow/5126789.cms India is already doing “Chiggy Wiggy” with Kylie Minogue, although the film “Blue” for which she delivered it is yet to be released on October Kylie Minogue (Reuter Photo) More Pics 16. Kylie’s meaningless cacophony “Chiggy Wiggy” in collaboration with Oscar winner A.R. Rahman (Slumdog Millionaire) has become a chartbuster and household word in India, a signature line for “Blue”, set-up new trend for Bollywood music, and taken up plenty of column inches. Tipped by its leading star Akshay Kumar as “most dangerous film ever” and by media as the “most expensive film in the history of Bollywood”, underwater thriller “Blue” also stars Sanjay Dutt, Katrina Kaif, Lara Dutta, and pint-sized Grammy winner Kylie Minogue as herself. This is Kylie’s first silver screen appearance after “Moulin Rouge!”. Shot in Bahamas and Thailand, its cinematography has been handled by Pete Zuccarini (Pirates of the Caribbean), action scenes by James Bomalick (The Fast and the Furious), and sound mix by Oscar winner Resul Pookutty (Slumdog Millionaire). Rahman was quoted as saying: By working with Kylie, I was able to create something truly unique for fans-the music fuses the cultures of mainstream pop, Hindi, and Bhangra. Acclaimed Indo-American statesman Rajan Zed has welcomed the West-East musical collaboration this film and Kylie offered and invited other world composers to explore joint ventures with India’s musicians. But in the mad rush, India should not forget its rich music heritage which went back to pre-BCE Hindu scripture Sama-Veda, and includes Dattila (190 AD), Amir Khusrau, Naik-gopal, Puramdaradasa, Tansen, Pundarika-vitthal, Govind Dikshitar, Ramdas, Venkatamakhin, Tyagaraja, Pandit Bhatkhande, etc., Rajan Zed, who is president of Indo-American Leadership Confederation, said in a statement in Nevada (USA).
[arr] Re: Releasing the Raavan Track List!
I'm sorry Murthy, I did not know that Gopal was doing it for fun. I really thought it was a genuine news on the first instinct of reading it. I thought the same when the fake Blue list and the Aish singing in Ravana news came out. And believe me, maybe for many of you, it was fun, (guess you must have known Gopal's true intentions) but all these fake news spreading around the group was just not funny to me... Nevertheless, my outburst on Gopal was truly uncalled-for. I should not have jumped to conclusions without knowing his true intentions. I have apologized to him personally but I believe that I owe an apology to the rest of you as well. But on a lighter note, I wish to request that in future, a notification be included in such similar posts.

Vince Vaughn came to me much before the Oscars. He just saw the movie and he became very emotional and he said: I want your music for my next film! I was contemplating whether to accept the movie or not. Then after the Oscars, I went and saw the movie. I felt that it wasn't a musically sympathetic movie but it was a comedy. And nobody would ever think that a person who did *Slumdog *would do a comedy next. And I just wanted to experience the whole process of Hollywood. It was a great experience. Vince Vaughn and Malin Akerman in Couples Retreat: Vince became very emotional and he said: `I want your music for my next film!' *What makes it a great experience?* You know just the opportunity to go and work in studios where *Mary Poppins *and *Star Wars *were recorded, it's a great feeling. Also, it was fun working with Vince and with the director of *Couples Retreat*, Peter (Billingsley). He's a new guy and it was good. But *Couples Retreat* the film has been very poorly received there and the reviews say your music has been under-utilised It is a comedy it's not a film where there were extraordinary musical situations. It's also a complicated movie about four couples, who all have resolutions. And some of the score, which is significant in the film, is licensed stuff like Ennio Morricone's *The Good, The Bad and The Ugly* . I know that this would happen but I had the opportunity of doing a great CD. And the CD is being liked by everyone. *Of the work that has been offered to you in the West, are they all asking for aSlumdog-like score from you?* No. Because they would never want to repeat the same thing. I am in a very extra-ordinary situation where I can do songs and I can do background scores. I have not been typecast like He's a background score guy or He can only compose songs. So, I have been trying to expand on that. Even in * Couples*, I have done three songs and then I have also done the background. Dave Stewart: He is a dear friend... we are trying to put up a band together. *Do you have a wishlist of producers or directors you want to work with?* No, I don't want to have a wishlist. Because some things look very small in the beginning and they become bigger in the end. Like *Slumdog*. And some things look very big at the beginning and end up really small. So I don't have any wishlist. *Was Slumdog ever small?* Honestly, I would have never sent the score to the Oscars. The makers did. I composed the soundtrack in three weeks flat and didn't think that it would go on to do what it did. *Do you think it was all because of that one song, Jai ho?* When I saw the film, they had put another song (Shankar Ehsaan Loy's *Aaj ki raat *from*Don*) and all that dancing was part of the film. At that time, it looked like a mockery of our song and dance. But when they used it in the end credits with *Jai ho*, it looked really nice. See, *Jai ho *became *Jai ho *because it was apt for the film, not because it was a great song. It was the right song and that's why it worked out so well. Kylie Minogue: She was very fast... it was all finished in three hours! *So, you haven't given any brief to your Hollywood agent?* He is always surprised by my decisions. He said: It's (*Couples*) a comedy! Don't do a comedy! I said, why not? So, it goes like that. *How do you plan to balance your work here with your work there?* It's difficult choosing. I want to keep that little chain of interest of

The movie is much predictable and it hasnt got any extra ordinary thing where people has given the hype to. More over I was eagerly looking in for the BGMS, but it harldy had no BGMS. The Lady in Blue BGM was awesome. But no other. I personally felt that this movie hasnt influenced ARR much. So the movie doesnt also deserve the songs from ARR. They want it big and they have added in ARR. Rehnuma : Played in the Opening Credits Blue theme : Same as in the promos Chiggy Wiggy : Same as in the promos Bhoola Tujhe : Came at the right time.

Re: [arr] Fwd: Chennai concert
are u implying the fact that if ARR is to be within Tamil industry he couldnt reach higher because Tamil industry is not as exposed and well known as Hindi to the world? Do not underestimate Tamil industry like that. If ARR wanted to, he could have done it. Thats ARR's capability and Tamil industry can give a great way as well. Perhaps it would take a little longer compared to now, but u cant say IT WONT happen! ARR's talent cant be hidden. Somehow they would have noticed him and he STILL would have reach Oscar! ps : Yuvan Shankar Raja has won the Best Composer for the album 'Raam' (a Tamil album, note this) at the Cyprus International film festival. though its nothing like Oscar and what not, he manage to fetch a Tamil album an overseas award. :) --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, ravi ravis...@... wrote: if only one can understand the pain involved with the work done by another there would be no room for arguing on basis of language and any other matters.

watched it the other day. i am glad that ARR didn't do it. it is a very average film, certainly AG's weakest, and a potential flop. it started off good but became boring and boring with each rashee. furthermore 3+ hours film with 12-13 songs is too much. and it would have been very painful to see ARR's 12-13 gems going wasted, double of what was wasted in Yuvraaj or Delhi 6. Sohail Sen did an okay job but nothing special. also he sounds too much like SEL. to me ARR's decision of not doing this film was very right. and i must say he should be careful of AG's film next time. this guy's work is becoming more and more mediocre with each film. - Jahanzeb --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, V S Rawat vsra...@... wrote: It is a different kind of thread, so please allow me.

So I don't have any wishlist. *Was Slumdog ever small?* Honestly, I would have never sent the score to the Oscars. The makers did. I composed the soundtrack in three weeks flat and didn't think that it would go on to do what it did. *Do you think it was all because of that one song, Jai ho?* When I saw the film, they had put another song (Shankar Ehsaan Loy's *Aaj ki raat *from*Don*) and all that dancing was part of the film. At that time, it looked like a mockery of our song and dance. But when they used it in the end credits with *Jai ho*, it looked really nice. See, *Jai ho *became *Jai ho
Re: [arr] Blue Movie Revew | 3 Songs wasted in the movie | Conversation with Rahman
Thanks for providing the timely feedback. It puts things in a correct perspective. Katrina and Lara don't enthuse me any more :-( :-), so I would never have bothered to see this film (such films) but for it having music by our man. So, I am going to see its FDFS tomorrow morning in any case and would post my own feedback by afternoon. But yeah, a secret hope was building up that maybe they have made a good movie, but what you said repels such hope. -- Rawat On 10/15/2009 1:02 PM India Time, _mohammed sajin_ wrote: Farzad, After reading ur mail I can feel, what a big opportunity I had missed. :( I am 'praying' ur comments about the movie would not be true.

I have got an exclusive chance to chat with Rahman where Rahman participated in an event with two other Musicians for a one and half hour conversation show. The show was like Meet and Greet Rahman where hardly 50 persons were present. The venue was Emirates PAlace Hotel, Abu Dhabi where Blue premiere was also screening. Ive posted this in the group and ive also got more than 10 passes with me for the show. But the mail got in the group late, so people couldn't drive in and come. In an exclusive chat with fans, I got more than 10 minutes to have conversation with him, A short description Me : How can you include a Tamil song in a Hollywood Movie, Sir ? ARR : Its like Music is a Global Anthem, and it hasnt got any Language barriers. The directors had belief in me, so I could experiment anything I want. :) Me: How would be your feeling like, you had put more effort in a movie and the directors waste those songs and also the movies goes flop in Box Office ? ARR: Yeah it hurts and it happens. We never knew the movie will be a hit or flop when we are doing the music. And yeah failures is a part of life but that balances my life and my career. Me : Have you checked rahmaniac.com http://rahmaniac.com ? ARR : No, am yet to do that :P Me : Which is your favorite musical instrument ? ARR : Now its African Mont..something like that ( I dont remember the name ) After the conversation he gave me an autograph and left the hall where the show happened. Later met up Akshay, Lara, Antony, Zayed, ARR in the Red Carpet of the premiere. Harldy some Arabs were there, and they dont even recognize the stars. In the premiere, when ARR walks in he got a Stand up Evasion and was treated most beautifully than any other stars. The movie was OK but it had no importance for songs. The movie is much predictable and it hasnt got any extra ordinary thing where people has given the hype to. More over *I was eagerly looking in for the BGMS, but it harldy had no BGMS. The Lady in Blue BGM *was awesome. But no other. I personally felt that this movie hasnt influenced ARR much. So the movie doesnt also deserve the songs from ARR. They want it big and they have added in ARR. Rehnuma : Played in the Opening Credits Blue theme : Same as in the promos Chiggy Wiggy : Same as in the promos Bhoola Tujhe : Came at the right time. It suited much. Fiqraana : End Credits Yaar Mila tha : Not in the movie Anyhow the movie is Average. Hope youl enjoy some Katrina, some Lara and *not much ARR.* Regards --

[arr] Making my son sing was not planned: Rahman
Not one to give vent to his emotions, Oscar winner A.R. Rahman is pleased at the way his Hollywood venture Couples Retreat has been received. The great challenge for Rahman was in bringing the spirit of the island which couples visit on holiday. He was happy he had succeeded in creating music catering to movie's mood. It is one thing to compose a song for a Tamil movie but how did he manage the Hollywood flavour? Rahman said the idea germinated when the makers looked for some exotic stuff to go with the mood of the island's visitors. It was not too difficult, he said, as once the Tamil words were finalized in sync with the music. This is the first lyric penned by Rahman. Another first for Rahman was the marks allotted to his work. “They have a system to judge the inputs and have animated discussions if the track would be popular with audiences, an idea worth emulating in the Indian industry,” said Rahman. On his little son rendering the 'Nana...' number, Rahman said it was unplanned. It just happened when he was looking for a voice to suit the mood and music. http://hindi.galatta.com/entertainment/hindi/livewire/id/Making_my_son_sing_was_not_planned_31361.html

Re: [arr] You know you are a true Rahman fan when...
Highlighted my personal favorites! Super duper true stuff. It's like someone is telling me about myself! haha You have a peculiar taste in music, which does not necessarily have to match the taste of the masses.You have a good sense of melody and rhythm and can tell good music from average. You appreciate good music, regardless of who it comes from.You can go on for hours talking about Rahman when someone makes a mistake of asking you about your favorite music.You are never content and are always hungry and thirsty for more from Rahman.You have had many euphoric moments in your life.. connected with Rahman's music.You agree that an average Rahman song is better than the best most of the other can churn out.Regardless of how the World finds Rahman music, you think Rahman makes music just for your ears. You genuinely believe that Rahman somehow knows what kind of music you unconsciously crave and then magically delivers that to you.Your most prized collection in your entire music collection is your Rahman collection, whether it's in form of cassettes, CD's or hard-disk space on computer or ipods.You sometimes feel this bliss, a kind of feeling that you are in heaven, when listening to Rahman's music.If the World was to go back to using the barter system again, you wouldn't mind trading a 1000 non-Rahman songs for a single Rahman song.You share this special bond with Rahman which is impossible to describe in words, let alone explain it to others.Your friends/family fail to understand why you listen to music in a language that makes no sense to you, whatsoever. But, a few weeks later, you totally understand why your friends/family are humming/singing the very song they don't understand and were puzzled about you listening to it.You are part of the Rahman Yahoo! Group or Orkut A R Rahman fans Community and visit it at least once a day.You take pleasure in new group (community) members arguing with likes of Gops and Vijay, when they come out with some Rahman info/news.You are tired of new member joining the group and inquiring about and referring to the fake Ekyam Satyam. You too hope to listen to the real one someday, if it exists somewhere.You can talk to any other Rahman fan and connect with them instantly.You have a deep desire to meet Rahman in person, and know deep in your heart that one day your dream will come true.You have thought of it many a times and tried to come up with a plan of what you would do? How would you react? when you actually meet Rahman.You can find the challenging task of solving a complex problem rather easy compared to the daunting and difficult task of coming up with your absolute top-10 Rahman favorites.Any criticism of Rahman is hard for you to digest, because most of the time it comes from people that haven't heard enough of Rahman and yet have no problem talking about him.Your blood pressure tends to rise when an average listener sings praises for other MDs(especially Anu Malik, Harris J, and the more recent and annoying Himesh).When it comes to R.D.

Re: [arr] Fwd: Chennai concert
I slightly have a different view. Rahman is not the same to others as he is to us. People who pay hefty prices and travel all the way to have a good experience should be treated with that experience - Good ambience, Pyrotechnics, good mix and performance. We might think that ARR is doing us a favor through his music. But, for a non-ARR fan (in the sense of dedicated yahoo group type fan) that is not the case. They are buying an experience and if it fails, it affects the reputation of the provider. I am not saying ARR is responsible, but any failure from any of the musicians, singers, organisers, crowd managers, anybody, its ARR's reputation at stake. There are way better event management groups and I seriously hope ARR signs with the best.

Perhaps it would take a little longer compared to now, but u cant say IT WONT happen! ARR's talent cant be hidden. Somehow they would have noticed him and he STILL would have reach Oscar! ps : Yuvan Shankar Raja has won the Best Composer for the album 'Raam' (a Tamil album, note this) at the Cyprus International film festival. though its nothing like Oscar and what not, he manage to fetch a Tamil album an overseas award. :) --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com arrahmanfans%40yahoogroups.com, ravi ravis...@... wrote: if only one can understand the pain involved with the work done by another there would be no room for arguing on basis of language and any other matters.

It's like someone is telling me about myself! haha You have a peculiar taste in music, which does not necessarily have to match the taste of the masses. You have a good sense of melody and rhythm and can tell good music from average. You appreciate good music, regardless of who it comes from. You can go on for hours talking about Rahman when someone makes a mistake of asking you about your favorite music. You are never content and are always hungry and thirsty for more from Rahman. You have had many euphoric moments in your life.. connected with Rahman's music. You agree that an average Rahman song is better than the best most of the other can churn out. Regardless of how the World finds Rahman music, you think Rahman makes music just for your ears. You genuinely believe that Rahman somehow knows what kind of music you unconsciously crave and then magically delivers that to you. Your most prized collection in your entire music collection is your Rahman collection, whether it's in form of cassettes, CD's or hard-disk space on computer or ipods. You sometimes feel this bliss, a kind of feeling that you are in heaven, when listening to Rahman's music. If the World was to go back to using the barter system again, you wouldn't mind trading a 1000 non-Rahman songs for a single Rahman song. You share this special bond with Rahman which is impossible to describe in words, let alone explain it to others. Your friends/family fail to understand why you listen to music in a language that makes no sense to you, whatsoever. But, a few weeks later, you totally understand why your friends/family are humming/singing the very song they don't understand and were puzzled about you listening to it. You are part of the Rahman Yahoo! Group or Orkut A R Rahman fans Community and visit it at least once a day. You take pleasure in new group (community) members arguing with likes of Gops and Vijay, when they come out with some Rahman info/news. You are tired of new member joining the group and inquiring about and referring to the fake Ekyam Satyam. You too hope to listen to the real one someday, if it exists somewhere. You can talk to any other Rahman fan and connect with them instantly. You have a deep desire to meet Rahman in person, and know deep in your heart that one day your dream will come true. You have thought of it many a times and tried to come up with a plan of what you would do? How would you react? when you actually meet Rahman. You can find the challenging task of solving a complex problem rather easy compared to the daunting and difficult task of coming up with your absolute top-10 Rahman favorites. Any criticism of Rahman is hard for you to digest, because most of the time it comes from people that haven't heard enough of Rahman and yet have no problem talking about him. Your blood pressure tends to rise when an average listener sings praises for other MDs(especially Anu Malik, Harris J, and the more recent and annoying Himesh). When it comes to R.D.

[arr] Review - DNA reviews Blue - Blue is BLAH ...
So start the negative reviews http://www.dnaindia.com/entertainment/report_film-review-blue-is-blah_1299450 *Mumbai: ** Film:* *Blue* (U/A) *Director:* Anthony D'souza *Cast:* Sanjay Dutt, Akshay Kumar, Zayed Khan, Lara Dutta and others *Rating:* * http://www.dnaindia.com/img/1299457.jpg javascript:prev();http://www.dnaindia.com/img/1299457.jpg javascript:next(); Anthony D'souza, director of *Blue*, said in an interview that it was important to keep the running time of the film under two hours (1.57hrs to be precise) so that the audience didn't get bored. D'souza couldn't have got it more wrong. Blue could have easily been shorter, or even not have been made at all. Okay, agreed that India hasn't seen an action film of this scale before. The canvas is huge, the cinematography pretty good and the making slick. Money has been spent like water and that's the closest the film comes to its theme. But even as *Blue* tries to emulate every Hollywood film in the action genre, it hardly matches up to any of them. It instead ends up, embarrassingly, like a poor B-grade film from the west. *Bad Boys* anyone? Nope, this one's just bad. If you've seen the promos, you roughly know the plot. It's another matter that even after the film ends, you don't really know what the plot was after all. Way back in 1949, the British decided to return some of India's jewels back to the country and dispatched them on a ship called Lady in Blue. The vessel sunk, untraced, in mysterious circumstances and its contents remained lost. Now businessman Aarav (Kumar, addressed annoyingly as Sarkar) wants to find the 'treasure' the ship carried and can only do so with the help of friend-cum-employee Sagar (Dutt, addressed annoyingly as Sethji). Everything else pertaining to the plot is incidental and as pointless as the premise of the film itself. Director D'souza needs to know that an action film needn't necessarily have close-up shots of a woman's cleavage and derrière repeatedly and pointless gun firing and chase sequences. It definitely should not have lengthy verbose scenes, especially when the film rests on such a flimsy plot in the first place. You pray for the story to move on, but Gulshan - played by Rahul Dev - mouths dialogues like* Apnanapan hai* and such others at a leisured pace, while scenes seem repetitive. And after all that talk about the 'treasure hunt', all that the actors do in the end is dive into the sea and its right there waiting for them. How in hell did no one else ever get their hands on all that gold! Among the 'jewels' you take back home with you is Akshay Kumar saying *Hamein treasure hunt pe jaana hoga* - or something to that effect - like it's a trip to Lonavala and back. For the actor himself, the film is a new low. Every time you step in to watch a Kumar film now, you are expecting something nonsensical, but you hope it at least entertains you in the bargain. After disappointing you every time in his last - we've lost count now - few films, this one just makes you hope that he'll finally realise that a film also needs a script! Sanjay Dutt looks bloated, and no effort goes into ensuring that the paunch is somewhat hidden. He, however, puts in a decent effort. Zayed Khan is as far from being cool as the amount of effort he puts into looking it. Lara Dutta provides the appropriate eye candy to save the film from being a complete washout. It's not that a film like *Blue* needs an Oscar-winning script or even scenes that justify the action. Most escapist entertainers of this variety rely on a racy script that keeps you on-the-edge and breathtaking action that blows your mind away. This film, sadly, has neither. So what's the point, you say? Here, it seems like the idea was to make the Hindi film industry's 'costliest' film, make a lot of noise about it, get people in theatres during the holiday season and have a 'Hit' on hands. Hopefully, the next time, all that money would be used to make something that's at least worth watching. This one isn't. Except, if you're looking for a spoof. -- -A http://viewsnmuse.blogspot.com

[arr] ET reviews Blue movie
Movie Review: Blue 16 Oct 2009, 0731 hrs IST, Gaurav Malani, ET Bureau Print EMail Discuss Share Save CommentSingle page view Text: Director: Anthony D'Souza Cast: Akshay Kumar, Sanjay Dutt, Lara Dutta, Zayed Khan Rating: ** Blue is the perfect example of a good 100 crores going down the drain (sau karod paani mein daal dena). Sure the film promises some brilliant visuals and underwater images never seen before in Indian films thanks to one of the finest underwater cinematographers in the world (Pete Zuccarini). But sadly the credit list literally lacks the mention of a screenplay writer. The scene opens in post-independence era of 1949 when a ship from Britain to India is bringing back its long looted riches. Strangely as per goofed-up geography, the shipwreck happens in Bahamas (that figures nowhere on the course of voyage). The treasure lies deep inside oceans untouched for more than half a century. The scene opens in present-day Bahamas with good-friends Aarav (Akshay Kumar) and Sagar (Sanjay Dutt) fishing and fighting together. The latter addresses the former as Sarkar for being filthy-rich. But the former more aptly addresses the latter as Sethji (not for his possessions but perhaps his paunch). The fatigued seth with a potbelly pet romances a bikini babe (Lara Dutta) half his age. Sagar's brother Sam (Zayed Khan) is estranged from him for strange reasons. He races bikes rapidly and romances babes vapidly. Fleeing from mafia men, he returns to Big Brother house. By interval point you only relish the sight of fish but sadly get to see no meat in the plot. In absence of a sane screenplay, the viewer is subjected to burnout action sequences and bike chases. By the time the oceanic treasure-hunt initiates in the climax, you see blue since the film is 'in deep water'. Sadly the authentic aquatic life is put to no active use as even the sharks seem to be harmlessly herbivorous. Rather the regular hero-villain combats are replicated in the oceans to no groundbreaking effect with the marine life playing passive spectators to the proceedings. Mayur Puri's casual conversational dialogues sans any cinematic significance and the minimal background score fail to induce depth to the drama. The supposed suspense in the narrative is almost obvious from the start. A R Rahman's musical score is plain passable this time. The art design by Narendra Rahurikar is decent. Laxman Utekar's cinematography is fascinating as he captures the Bahamas beaches beautifully in his lens and uses effective close up frames on the cast. Designer Rina Dhaka deserves special mention for styling Lara Dutta at her sexiest best in those white, red, pink and bejeweled bikinis. The introductory action sequence of a shark attack has been credibly choreographed by James Bomalick. But after a perfect startup for an underwater adventure, the action takes the regular 'road' until the climax while the adventure isn't scripted thrillingly. Blue has munificent footage of marine world which has been stunningly shot by underwater expert Pete Zuccarini (Pirates of Caribbean). But the conventional storytelling doesn't elevate its outcome beyond the visual brilliance of a National Geographical documentary. Akshay Kumar is decent. Zayed Khan isn't bad but doesn't go beyond his regular self. Sanjay Dutt looks dreary and uninterested. With a perfect toned body, Lara Dutta looks desirable and adds grace to her liberal beachwear, not looking one bit vulgar. KatrinaKaif gets no scope. Rahul Dev is regular. Kylie Minogue's item number comes out of the blue. Director Anthony D'Souza deserves applause for testing water with entering an entirely new territory, not attempted before this side of Pacific. The logistics of such filmmakingare extremely demanding and he hasn't compromised on the standards. But his storytelling certainly lacks the finesse which could have made this project a more entertaining fare. Blue doesn't glue you to the seat. Rather its corniness can make you see red. http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/news-by-industry/media-/-entertainment-/entertainment/Movie-Review-Blue/articleshow/5129873.cms
[arr] CR movie review - the music is memorable
On the other hand, the music is memorable; it’s the first American film scored by last year’s “Slumdog Millionaire” Oscar-winner A.R. Rahman http://susangranger.com/?p=4668 Also check out this random comment from RT website: you gotta pick Sajna by A.H. Rahman from the movie Couple's Retreat. I had to download it the minute I got home from the movie! Now I HAVE TO plan a trip to Bora Bora!!

[arr] Khalid Mohammed reviews Blue movie - In Shallow Waters
http://passionforcinema.com/blue-movie-review-in-shallow-waters/ Blue Cast: Sanjay Dutt, Akshay Kumar, Lara Dutta, Zayed Khan, Sharks, Bahama butts Direction: (not much of it) Anthony D’Souza Rating: One star..and that’s being generous Sharks, there go those shucks! Ulp, excuzee, pardon, sowie. Shucks there go those sharks! And hey, they’re smooth-as-slate grey. Their teeth aren’t visible (must be senior seatizens). Plus every guy who owns a scuba-diving suit swims past them, happily, as also past National Geographic-like anemones, crayfish and fish life with silver fins. Fin and games? Forget it. As soon as the credit titles of Blue,directed by former adman Anthony D’Silva, are over, you’re already seasick. A couple of reels later, you even want to cry out loud, “What on earth are you guys doing? Do you take us for ninnies?” Absolutely contemptuous of the audience’s intelligence, this one has more ‘action’ of sorts on terra firma, than down there 20 leagues under the sea. Strangely, ceaseless footage is expended on Zayed Khan riding a designer bike zippily through the expressways of Bangkok. Squawk. Next: Vroom, this Dhoom-addicted dude strikes up a multi-million dollar debt, all because he took a fancy to this Smiley (Katrina Kaif, vapid) wearing a diamond lipling. Meanwhile, you’ve been subjected to a heap of weird information. ThatKabir Bedi stepped out of the sea in 1949, wearing a freshly laundered naval officer suit. Then poof, he vanished like Aladin’s genie. Meanie. Many many many many many years later, lobster fisherman Sethji (Sanjay Dutt, paunched out) and his buddy, Aarav (Akshay Kumar, in a Sam Tytlerish goatee) are upto some fearsome faltugiri. They box in a ring. Ping. And Sethji’s wife—or live-in gal (Lara D) – mumbles something about oceansful of cash to research marine life. Expensive, expensive. Got the drift? It’s difficult to since the screenplay (if there was one),and the shot takings are conceptually as shallow as the powder-blue sea. A hurricane is announced but never shows up disappointingly. Every thing is all too childishly easy. When crisis calls, Sethji just takes off for an interlude of treasure hunting.Yippee do. For sure, the hunteroos organised at college annual functions are much more demanding. Out here a ship that holds costume jewellery is quicky detected in a ruined hull (a nude mermaid statue looks freshly sculpted though). After a frown or two, roguish Rahul Dev and his oriental dakus are banged-banged to extinction. And if you think this is a spoler, it isn’t. Much more pop con is to follow. Hellow Akshay Kumar, predictably, hogs the end credits. Surely, Kylie Minogue who does a Chiggy Wiggy at the outset could have been brought back for a Tickly Wickly? Essentially, this Blue movie (!) is awfully directed – disjointed, senseless shot taking and tiresomely lit like the time Sethji and Aarav converse at a dark oceanfront near-replicating a scene in Omkara. Shots through champagne and wine glasses are hilariously retro. Ditto those sudden pans to women’s butts which you thought had ended with Ram Gopal Varma’s posterior past. The editing is either too senseless (a gunfight through walls is insanely amateurish) or tempo-killing like the song sequence over a listless montage and flashbacks. Unfortunately, Akshay Kumar engages in anti-women dialogue once again after Kambakt Ishk, asking smarmily, “Can I ride you?” He’s also racist, comparing a session with a black and a white woman to plonking piano keys.Besides, couldn’t he have been prevented from saying “blew” instead of “blue”? Zayed Khan is not worth remarking upon. Lara Dutta is purely decorative, her sex appeal outdone by all the beach blondes and brunettes the camera keeps salivating over. As for Sanjay Dutt, arguably this is his career-worst. Bottomwhine: Blue is one bloomer of a movie. Don’t even think of all the crores spent on this kiddish enterprise. That’ll just leave you with one helluva sinking feeling.
[arr] Blue movie review - An innovative film that deserves to be lauded
An innovative film that deserves to be laudedby Joginder TutejaCast: Sanjay Dutt, Akshay Kumar, Zayed Khan, Lara Dutta, Katrina Kaif, Kylie Minogue Director: Anthony D'Souza When the makers of a film proudly proclaim their product to be at par with their Hollywood counterparts, one is bound to be sceptical. More so because Blue is an action film, that too set underwater, which is not just a first in Bollywood but also a rarity in Hollywood. So does Blue set new standards for Bollywood action movies? Does it actually get into the underbelly of the sea and show a world hitherto unexplored? The answer is yes. Let's put it this way - Blue may not be the mind-blowing commercial action thriller that you would have ever seen. However, it certainly is the most innovative attempt that deserves to be acknowledged and lauded. Action is truly the USP of the film and keeps the momentum going for Blue due to which one doesn't quite miss the presence of a solid storyline. From first till the last frame, it's the amalgamation of action and an unknown world (under the sea) which brings in a novelty factor. For those hunting for a storyline, Blue actually begins and ends at the basic synopsis level. Mr. Richie Rich Akshay Kumar wants a treasure to be explored and entices his employee and friend Sanjay Dutt with tempting offers. Dutt is reluctant to take that dive into the sea even though his girlfriend Lara Dutta and brother Zayed Khan do present him enough reasons to take the plunge. Eventually he relents and the journey of Blue begins. Simple. There are five key action sequences that keep the pace up for the film. Each of the three bike sequences featuring Zayed become better and better and in fact his introduction a la 'Fast and the Furious' is something unique for an Indian film. The boxing ring sequence featuring Sanjay and Akshay does hint of Broken Arrow, though it works in establishing their characters. Most importantly, the entire underwater hunt sequence is a breathtaking affair. Anthony D'Souza has a strong eye for visuals and that shows. Technically, whether it is camerawork or sound, Blue bears an international feel. Whether it's Sanjay or Akshay, the revelation about their past isn't quite hammer strong, even though convincing. Moreover, even though the film is a multi-starrer, one does expect Akshay to be on the forefront. However, for a change, a film featuring him does allow equal screen space for other actors as well. As for Lara and Katrina Kaif, their presence is required to make the film look good and in that aspect, they do well. In a nutshell, Blue is made for those who want pulsating action, innovative stunts, glamour and some unbelievable moments that defy logic. It mainly caters to the youth that just want some non-stop action in those two hours while keeping James Bond movies in mind. The kind of films where bikes are meant to race through traffic, cars are meant to explode, women are meant to bring on a glamour quotient, villains are meant to be suave, action is meant to belong to never-seen-before variety and technical aspects are meant to be superior to the best. http://www.masala.com/15579-blue-movie-review

[arr] Re: Blue Music Topping Charts
Partially agree with it. Looking at my ipod, playlist count of Blue isnt impressive.. so for me, yes it is one of his least heard albums. Why? I'm not sure yet.. because even though I liked most of the songs (may be except Yaar Mila Tha), I dont really see myself listening to Blue after few (lets say) 3-4 years as I am still crazy about Meenaxi, Swades etc and can listen to them non stop for 5-6 hrs anyday. @ chart - nice to see Blue at # 1, but (IMHO) London Dreams at # 10 isnt fair. That album is much better than Khanna, Wanted, Dil Bole Hadipa, Wake Up Sid etc. --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, Vasu srinivas.bhu...@... wrote: Blue I would say least heard album of arr, i know few guys here will shout on me after this messege. many of us know that BLUE dosent have rahman touch @ all, but none will accept it jai ho arr --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, ichord purevibz@ wrote: http://www.naachgaana.com/2009/10/15/a-few-musical-myths/#comments This is how the chart for this week looks like: 1Blue (T-Series) 2Wake Up Sid (Sony) 3Whats Your Raashee?
