I consider myself a film buff, and watch lots of movies, and generally look more into a film than just a storyline. Granted it took 3 viewings of Matrix to understand the movie, but i was blown away by the trailer itself that i didnt mind going to the movie again and again.
I have always wondered why is that Indian movies especially Bollywood, try to imitate Hollywood and fail miserably in the process. We have our own USPs and within that limit we do possess a fantastic list of directors who really know how to tell a story interestingly and also provide the technical back up which makes a great film.
You might be wondering by now, just what the hell this guy is upto....Well, pardon me for all my thoughts given above because I happened to watch a movie called 'BLUE'.
How to make a bollywood movie like BLUE? You shouldnt accuse the director that he blindly copied from the movie 'Into the Blue'(slick editing-of the title by the way)
1. He takes the main plot of Into the Blue.
2. Creates 3 characters, Sanjay, Akshay and Zayed,
3. For Sanjay's scenes alone copies from "shoot em up"
4. For Zayed's scenes copies from 'fast and the furious' and torque
5. For Akshay's scenes copies from Hitch and Broken Arrow.
Wait a minute, we have Lara Dutta and Katrina Kaif(special appearence) here....whats the difference? Lara comes in a bikini and Katrina doesnt!!!!( i think it should have been given to Lara for special appearence!!!)
A word to the director...Hollywood movies do get released in India... and people go and watch them. Please try to get some obscure movie and copy it rather than hit movies!!!!!!!
