INMHO the reason for most of the movies/music falling short of the expectations of the people is due to the hype created by all the promos. These promos take the expectations of the people to the zenith and when the music or movie falls short of that expectation even a wee bit we are not able to tolerate. In the earlier years we never had such hype about anything .... and people enjoyed what they saw or what they heard... so why has it changed so much suddenly?

Somebody had said that the film raked Rs.6.5 crore on the opening day..But then you should know that the first day numbers are all because of the pre-release hype!! Also, the flops 'Kambakkht Ishq' had collected Rs.7.5 Crore on the first day, though it flopped!! Also, the film is worth nothing, I went to the film very excited as it was the first underwater film in India, but came out yawning.Lara Dutta's bikinis can't save the film, neither can Kylie Minogue with her Chiggy-Wiggy jig! And Katrina, she is great!! She proves it again to everybody even in her 7 minute 20 second cameo that she cannot act!! The so called action sequences for which, allegedly, crores of rupees have been spent are the only ones worth watching!! The great BG work by ARR makes it really interesting! Reul Pookutty's work is also commendable! Anthony also picks jaw-droppingly beautiful locations like the Bahamas! But the low IQ dialogues and the weak script make it a dim-witted thriller! Also, the Climax is inadvertantly hilarious!! You will be laughing at places where you should be glued to the screen!! All I say is Blue is totally washed up and is going to sink into the sea without a trace!! All those ones who said ARR makes a wrong choice in picking films is absolutely pointless, because doing such a film is a challenge and you should be appreciating ARR sir instead of criticizing him.. Well, it is not like I had many expectations from 'Blue', but it disappointed me! Anyways, I'm all geared up for Mani Ratnam's "Raavan" starring Abhishek Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Vikram and Shankar's "Endhiran-The Robot" starring Rajnikanth and Aish again!
