Its quite tricky to be in Akshay Kumar’s shoes right now. This year hasn’t been what he probably expected it to be.
A pretty safe film Chandni Chowk to China, given his 2006-08 stupendous success in the particular genre, was a box-office disaster. Then came Tasveer, which was expected to shut his critics, but was slammed critically and literally sank without a trace.
His last release was the controversial Kambakht Ishq, which again didn’t do as well as it was expected to. Certainly with the pre-release hype we expected a lot more, infact Love Aaj Kal, starring a much lesser star (box office pull) outgrossed the Akki film by a mile.
So what does this mean to the fortunes of BLUE, a mega-budget multi-starrer, with the responsibility of drawing crowds to theatres solely resting on Akshay Kumar’s shoulders?
Will BLUE work at the box office and provide Akshay his much-needed box office blockbuster? What do you think? Comments below
I saw the trailer of Blue.. I think it will be a good movie because it’s a new script, diving, sharks.. let’s wait and see.. if the script as well as the direction is good, then it will work at the box office for sure.. but it has to be an entertaining movie for the audience.. if it lacked all this.. then it won’t.. that’s what I think.. hope that this movie will work for Akshay Kumar this time.
akshay iz da stupid actor in bollywood….always does stupid kinda movies…it will also surely be a disastrous movie……………………………….for akki fan yet another day of sadness is abt to come…be prepared…
i think the movie is going to rock…. nd akshay will shut up all critics…yaar vo itni bdiaa comedy krtaa … par logo ko chaahiye kahaani abe kahaani ka kya karoge vo to har pic. mein hoti hai…. mst time paas pic. bnaat hai auir …par vhii criticcs……………..bull shit…….
Its always diff to predict action/thriller movies..its either hit or miss.
the trailer looks good but then i was blown away wen i saw CCTC trailer..
it shudnt b such tat at the end of the movie only sharks turnout to be entertaining…
lets c wats in store..hope the producer has done some study over the script before putting in 70 Crs.
Another flop. Lot of gimmicks and fluff, no substance, amateur acting.
at sndc ….
beleive it o not akshay is 1 of d best actor in bollywood …
his previous muvies have grossed more dan srk o salman …leavin amir n hritick …
nethin yew say….hez jus d best …even his flop muvies have succeeded to entertain d audiences
Well,trailer is good but i donot know whether this movie is going to be hit or not?cost of movie is big.Hope this is good movie.Finger cross
Fathiya:First,time i m seeing u thinking akshay will be good .since only movie u like of akshay ,according to me was singh is king……………
it will be sure block buster,
i wont say anything now.
just keeping my fingers crossed.
hope this time he rules th BO. and shut down the critics’s mouth.
btw the bike scenes looks like that of torque.
hopefully a blockbuster cuz multi starrers and sharks’
its new and never seen before
gd luck akki and the rest of the cast of blue
Even though for me akki comes sceond after Srk, i think it will be a hit not sure if it will be a blockbuster or anything. My name is khan will be a blockbuster, sure of that.
MOVIE WILL DEFINITELY BREAK THE RECORDS OF GHAZNI……..
KOI LIKHWALO CHAHE MUJHSE
Honestly, who could sit and watch that buffoon Kumar? So nerdy!
Ok 4 me is like what 1 of friend said action,trailer movies does not be predicted but, in other hand if this movie paid what he promise to audionce in the promo. He should be a big HIT 4 sure. A part from that i had a good confidence that the movie is going to break a record in his first week without doubt bcos of AKSHAY KUMAR power at the boxoffice. Wish them all the BEST.
it will be blockbuster of the year…. !!!! nd the movie will break the records of the 3 last years …
according to trailer of that movie and hype it can work at box office coz diwali movies always take good start but if this time 3 movies blue, main aur mrs khanna and all the best will release on a same date it can be dangoures of all these movies so one movie should stay back . seconed thing movie budget is 100 cr. it is very hard to get back all money and get some profit as well coz biggest hit ever is gajini total net profit world wide was 125 cr so it sould be bigger then ghajini.
Akki is best…nd he will rock dis diwali too.
I hope the movie works at the box office.
Its important to know that the actors have worked hard and even risk their lives for the movie.
Hope its becomes A Big Hit or even a Superhit. I’m not sure of Blockbuster because of its price.
This is not fair! Akshay Kumar is not only the actor in the movie. It also has Sanjay Dutt, Zayed Khan and Lara Dutta. Not fair to all burden to Akshay shoulder. If the film flop then the whole blame should be gone to the director.
akshay is king of bollywood and comedy and action. blue is action movie and it surely beat My name is khan.
akshay rocks and this movie will be the biggest hit movie in bollywood. SRK sucks.
Blue will be 100 % BLockbuster, because the story of movie has been writted by the bigget american writers.and also it stars the biggist stars like and Sanjay
i saw the trailer of blue so i think thhe movie is gud,i hope the movie works at the box office.
The trailor is looking good. Lara looks great in bikini shots. I hope this movie does well at the box office but its cost is the major problem. It will surely have to have a great first weekend and the 1st week collections should be somewhat close to Ghajini otherwise this movie is going to sink badly because of its huge cost.
Fahad
1. all stunts are what we have sees in the past as well in movies like torque
2. mission base movies don’s work in India
3. you can’t sell a movie on the basis of stunts
4. Akshay has give many flops (except KI , which can be consider as average movie) same for sanjay and Zayed also; i am sure this is goint to affect Blue’s opening
5. movie is realising in Diwali and Indian audience prefer family drama during Diwali season
6. the cost of movie is very high and there is heavy flow of movies after 16 Oct 09
all the above points are showing very negative future for Blue
Sudeep: thx for the answer about the word Raashee
About Akshay.. if u were following up all my comments, since I joined this website.. you’d hv known that I’m not a hater.. I actually like Akshay Kumar, but I didn’t like his old movies as well as some comedy he does.. the only comedy which pleased me was Singh is Kinng.. his role as a seikh, but there’re movies which I liked e.g. Bhool Bulaiya, Namaste London, Aiteraz, Waqt, Bewafa..
Fathiya:I have no prb with u Also…Only prb is I donot like SRK…….after the incident happened with katrina birthday party.i prefer salman more than Sharukh khan
but the question is that can this movie collect 100 cror in indian and 30 cror in overseas???? jab tak yeh target pora nahi ho ga movie hit nahi consider ki jae gi . issi liye yeh bahtar hai 15 cr main movie banao 25 cr ka busienss kare aur hit ho jae like new york or kaminey
we hope so pal…i think this time he will rock
