Director Anthony D'Souza takes BLUE to LA!
Sampurn, Bollywood Trade News Network
Director Anthony D'Souza along with A.R. Rahman have set camp in Los Angeles to get the mixing in place for their mega film BLUE. The makers of the film, which is less than a fortnight away from its release, are leaving no stones unturned to lend an international feel to the product which is touted to be the costliest ever to come out of Indian shores.
Says a source close to the project, "BLUE is huge by all standards and with the kind of technical finesse it boasts of, there was no way that any cost would have been spared during it's post production. The makers didn't hesitate at all to process the film's mixing in LA. As we talk, Tony would already have completed a substantial part of the film's mixing."
Rahman is known for being fascinated with the city of Los Angeles when it comes to recording and mixing of music. Even though he already has studios in Chennai and Mumbai, he is in the process of getting studios in Los Angeles (USA) and London (UK) as well. Since there is also an increase in his international assignments, it only makes sense for Rahman to have a worldwide presence through his studios.
Coming back to BLUE, the film is seeing an unprecedented excitement being built up around it. The advance booking at numerous leading multiplexes has already opened, even though the film is more than 10 days away.
Awesome song, terrible picturization!Quote:

Blue is an out-and-out commercial flick – a point to be kept in mind when listening to the soundtrack. Rahman seems to be having fun here, but nowhere does he compromise on quality.
The album kicks off with the Marmite track of the year, Chiggy Wiggy. Vocalist Kylie Minogue’s seductive style infused with Sonu Nigam’s bhangra works, but not instantly. But, given spins enough, the track will surely prove a big hit with fans of the pop princess.
The subsequent stylistic transition is abrupt, but sets the tone for the incredible fusion of jazz and classical Indian with tribal chants in Aaj Dil Ghustakh Hai. Sukhwinder Singh and Shreya Ghoshal excel here, almost outdoing one another in their vocal brilliance.
Fiqrana’s unpredictability bounces from soft rock to Qawwali, altering styles just as you try to categorise it. It’s an interesting track, yet it doesn’t quite take off.
007 and Destiny’s Child drop by to make their presences felt on Rehnuma and Yaar Mila Tha respectively – the music is original, of course, yet the inspiration is hard to ignore.
Yaar Mila Tha soon gives way to an Arabic beat with playful lyrics sung by Madhushree and Udit Narayan. The latter last appeared on the What’s Your Rashee? soundtrack, and it’s a pleasure to hear him again. Rehnuma, meanwhile, is a bona-fide killer track. Easily one of Rahman’s most impressive compositions, it has a James Bond-goes-jazz feel to it, with scintillating vocals by Shreya Ghoshal. Sadly, though, the talents of Nigam seem to fade into the background.
The title track is a powerful number, with Blaaze trading rapping for singing, performing alongside Raqeeb Alam, Sonu Kakkar and Jaspreet Singh. It’s an unconventional track which would sit easily on an Asian Underground album and another of Rahman’s fantastic theme songs.
Let’s just hope that the film matches up to this brilliant musical treat from Rahman, a fantastic follow up to Slumdog Millionare.

Kalaipuli Thanu buys Blue!
By Moviebuzz | Tuesday, 13 October , 2009, 12:26
Leading producer Kalaipuli.S Thanu whose recent Kanthaswamy was a hit, has gone and purchased the Tamil Nadu rights for the underwater action entertainer in Hindi Blue directed by Antony Desouza.
The film which cost Rs 100 crore to produce due to its state of arts under water sea bed scenes has a multi star cast consisting of Akshay Kumar- Sanjay Dutt- Katrina Kaif- Lara Dutta-Kylie Minouge- Zyed Khan and Rahul Dev.
The film has been completely shot in the white sand beaches of Bahamas and is an action adventure on a group of people looking for sunken treasure.
The film has India’s two Oscar winners AR Rahman and Resul Pookutty, the sound specialist coming together. The peppy numbers from AR Rahman, are topping the charts.
Says Thanu: “ I saw Blue, it’s awesome, never seen something like this in Indian cinema, and music by Thambi Rahman is fantastic. Depending on the availability of theatres I’m planning to release the film in 50 screens across TN from October 16. I’m sure people will just come for its spectacular 45 minutes under water sea bed scenes.”

Blue Movie Review
http://www.bollywoodhungama.com/movi...837/index.html
Roll out the red carpet.
Blow the conch shells.
Beat the drums.
It's time to pop champagne...
BLUE, the most awaited movie of the year, 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?
Write your own movie review of Blue
Let me keep it concise and to the point. You haven't watched something like this on the Hindi screen before. Never ever!
It requires courage, willpower, fortitude, vision and of course, the financial backing to accomplish a project of this magnitude. And debutante director Anthony D'Souza puts his skills and the financial resources to best use. BLUE is not merely a stunning looking film, it's also a well structured film. Most importantly, it's a solid entertainer that packs in so much in those 1.58 hours.
Final word? Go, grab a ticket, if you haven't booked one yet. This under-sea treasure hunt is a kickass film. A must-see for all those who love adventure flicks.
BLUE is set in the sun-soaked white sand beaches of Bahamas. Sagar [Sanjay Dutt] is a simpleton, while his friend Aarav [Akshay Kumar] is a rich, ambitious businessman.
Sagar's brother Sameer 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 bail him out from this crisis, but to save his brother, Sagar has to wrestle with the ghost of his dead father.
If you're a die-hard moviegoer, you'd 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.
BLUE grabs your attention from its opening titles itself. The marine life, which you may've watched on National Geographic Channel or Animal Planet, comes alive in all splendour at the start itself.
The story is uncomplicated and Anthony D'Souza garnishes it beautifully. If the aquatic life keeps your eyes wide open, the action sequences are sure to make your jaws drop to your knees. The bike chase at the start, yet another chase subsequently, the chase soon after the interval [atop a running train] is simply astounding.
Anthony's expertise comes to the fore in several sequences. One sequence that needs to be singled out is when Sanju narrates the tragic past, how he was responsible for his father's death. It's simply incredible!
Major portions of the film have been filmed in the ocean and you can't stop admiring and appreciating the enormous contribution of the underwater cinematographer [Pete Zuccarini]. The lighting in those sequences deserves special mention. Also, the underwater sequences, which feature aquatic life like puffer fish, stingrays and sharks, hold tremendous appeal. Cinematography [Laxman Utekar] is gorgeous.
On the flip side, the climax could've been more impactful. The villain's track looks clichéd, but you tend to overlook the minor aberration since the film never falls prey to mediocrity.
Anthony D'Souza is a director to watch. This film has style as well as substance. Also, it requires courage and conviction to think out of the box and most importantly, execute the material with panache. There's not much scope for music in an action thriller, yet A.R. Rahman's score suits the requirements. The Kylie Minogue track - 'Chiggy Wiggy' - is already popular. Sanju and Lara's romantic track - 'Aaj Dil' - is sensuous. The song at the end credits - 'Fiqrana' - has a lot of energy.
Sound design [Resul Pookutty] is fantastic. Action scenes [James D. Bomalick and R.P. Yadav] are a treat and, in fact, one of the mainstays of the film. Dialogues [Mayur Puri] are effective, while the screenplay [Anthony D'Souza and Jasmine D'Souza] is well thought-out, especially towards the second hour.
Sanjay Dutt carries his part well, although he looks very well-fed in some scenes. Akshay Kumar steals the show with a sterling performance. This would easily classify amongst his best works. Zayed Khan is highly competent. This, despite the fact that he's sharing the screen space with two hugely experienced actors.
Lara Dutta has never looked so good before. Though the story revolves around the guys, you can't overlook Lara's small but significant contribution to the film. Katrina Kaif [sp. app.] looks gorgeous and performs exceedingly well. The feminine charm [at the start specifically] would send the youth in a frenzy. Rahul Dev is first-rate. Kabir Bedi is hardly there.
On the whole, BLUE has style as well as substance. The film has everything going in its favour, right from its incredible star cast to the superb action scenes to the hitherto unseen marine life to the tremendous hype and hoopla. At the box-office, BLUE will strike like a hurricane in the festive week. It should set new benchmarks in days to come. In short, the business will be humungous.
Great! :2thumbsup:

Blue for Diwali
IndiaGlitz [Thursday, October 15, 2009]
Now we have another contestant to compete in the Diwali race. ‘Blue’ is flushing all the way from the North to spread the colour and refreshment to South. Know who brings ‘Blue’ to Chennai? It’s none other than our Kalaipuli S Thanu. So, along with ‘Aadhavan’, ‘Jaganmohini’ and Peranmai’ we will have this Akki starer to entertain Chennaiites this festive season.
Releasing this 16th, the film is one of the most anticipated Bollywood movies of the year. ‘Blue’ is tagged with a U/A certificate by the Censor Board. Directed by Anthony D’Souza, this under-water adventure-thriller includes Akshay Kumar, Sanjay Dutt, Lara Dutta and Zayed Khan. One gets to enjoy a bonus with Katrina Kaif in a cameo role here. The music is already making waves, thanks to AR Rahman and Resul Pookutty, who handled the sound.
WTF... Resulkum musickum enna sambhandam. .
Guys,
I read many reports that mention about "Blue" music not taking off with the public. Apparently, the songs have not become popular and this is not in keeping with ARR's music.
Do any of our fellow fans have any comment to make about this seeming lack of popularity of the songs?
Is it just media downplaying Thalaivar's music?
SunnyG.
yup ..except chiggy wiggy which became popular already ... we need to wait for the movie's success for the other songs..Quote:

Initial reviews claims that BLUE is disappointing. However, the BGM and sound editing are excellent.

The film has some cool songs, but a disappointingly weak background score. Maybe with the right kind of background music things would have looked up
Yoga (Thalafanz) watched it already and texted me.

ARR does project which excites him, and apparently these kinda films excites him... i duno y.... :?Quote:

I wouldn't even listen to the soundtrack of that film if it happens. :hammer:
Talk about squandering money 80Cr is the production cost. Folks, you guys have to see Sh$ face of Akshay Kumar live on NDTV inquiring box office status and a collosal list of his flops this year. This shameless "khiladi" recalls his 18yrs of such patches, but still survives. Producers maanga madayana irundha enna pandradhu?
Leave that aside, coming to ARR whats wrong with him really? Why is he still accepting such garbages? Seriously, Why restrict only film music. A film music have lots of restrictions. A movie/video can never do justice to his music. Thats rare indeed and a very few exceptional directors have done it in the past. Mostly Disaster! Take the recent "passage" & "Couples retreat" some best musical themes have been cruelly wasted. Thanks to "Musicman" & "BennyLava aka TV" for essaying it. Folks, the soundtrack is not for any common listener its an exclusive product for musical fans (who have followed and enjoyed ARR's style of music) It needs lot of attention and involvement to understand such depth of the music and the sheer variety of World music ARR have excelled in genre-wise, instruments and orchestration (Nana, tours of villa, Itenary, Meeting Marcel, Animal spirits, Undress etc..) He is born to innovate and explore the musical world and produce much more global sound. If I am a watchman in ARR's studio I would never let any of these bozos inside for discussion. He should stick to his own terms and work more on private albums rather wasting time with these p**gy wiggies. International collobrations is also a great idea. Comeon ARR, Time to say bye (not what some mean).
"With great power comes great responsibility"
i seen this after his oscar win!
money in films >>> money in private albums......he has reached a stage where KM conservatory, ARR foundation require money and he has to "earn"...........Quote:

most of the good movies that happen in bollywood and watever decent attempts happening in tamil are "low" budget movies and are done by guys totally alien to rahman......lets face the truth, until some of rahman friends or big production house make good movies like Jaane tu Jaane na, we would never see good movies from rahman's music.......we have to see Blue like crap, banal movies eating up rahman's panaromic scores.....
let me tell you - current hollywood is also not very promising.....we would see crappy projects there too......we can just pray that his music gets noticed by tarantino, spielberg likes and offer him a good package.....
i always knew this was going to be an utter flop... :(
hehe
