STORY OUTLINE:

Sanjay Dutt and Akshay kumar are good friends settled in the Bahamas. Akshay is a rich business man and Sanjay dutt, a fisher man/diver is a not so ambitious guy. Lara dutta plays the glamorous wife of Sanjay.

Zayed khan , younger brother of sanjay gets in trouble in bangkok after messing with some goons and returns to sanjay in bahamas for hiding leaving his new found love – katrina kaif .Meanwhile there are some references to Dutt’s memory of a sunken ship when akshay tries to instigate him for a treasure hunt of a long lost ‘Lady in the blue’ ship.

The goons come searching for Zayed in Bahamas and threaten to kill him if they do not get $50 millon. Akshay and Zayed try to convince Sanajy to go for the missing treasure but Sanjay is unperturbed and is reluctant to go for treasure hunt. The goons kidnap Lara dutta and Sanjay is forced to go for the treasure.

Sanjay , Akshay and Zayed spot the treasure and how they get rid of the baddies and the real reason for why Akshay is hell bent on going for treasure from the beginning forms the rest of the story line.

PERFORMANCES:

AkshayAkshay kumar is good in the role of a rich business man with a hidden agenda. He is at ease playing the character.

Sanjay Dutt looks old and tired in the movie.

Lara Dutta is uber hot and exposes liberally. She is spectacular in Bikini.

Rahul Dev impresses in his role as a bad guy and leader of the bangkok goon gang. Zayed khan has lifted his performance a bit from his previous dud acting.

Katrina kaif is wasted and her special appearance does not amuse the audience much.

THE TECHNICAL DEPARTMENT:

Action sequences by James Bomalik ( Die Hard 4, Mr and Mrs Smith) both on the ground and under water are stunning.

The Songs are visually good but the much anticipated number ‘Chiggy wiggy’ in which pop singer Kylie Minogue makes a special appearance is not at all impressive and she is wasted.

The under water sequences by Peter Zuccharini (Pirates of the Caribbean) are spectacular and visually appealing.

ANALYSIS AND VERDICT:

The Plot of the movie is pretty weak and appears to be a run of the mill beaten track. Of course, the movie boasts of stunning underwater photography and Lara dutta’s bikini show but that’s all it has got.Sanjay Dutt’s acting could have been better .The surreal world of Ducatti Bikes and Yachts is cool.It would have really helped the movie if the twists and turns are interesting but they become predictable.The climax is weak and unappealing.

On the whole ,You may watch the movie in leisure for the Stunning underwater photography, Lara Dutta’s Bikini and well shot action sequences. But you are at your own risk if you are expecting more.
