What's new in Akshay Kumar and Sanjay Dutt’s BLUE has firsts to its credit for its underwater has been a theme that is touched by the world o's BLUE


Akshay Kumar and Sanjay Dutt’s BLUE has firsts to its credit for its underwater has been a theme that is touched by the world of Hollywood on a regular basis

the Indian cinema has turned to it after a long- long time with BLUE. BLUE is the first full length feature film where the underwater forms an interesting backdrop for development of plot of the film.
Incidentally BLUE has other firsts to its credit, including a female star in the form of Lara Dutta also vying shoulders with her male peers underwater. Besides, BLUE is also the first film whose music has also been released on pen drives and micro scan discs, keeping in tune with the current penchant of the audience to listen to music through these days.



Also another first for BLUE is that its advance booking has been opened more than 10 days before the film is to be released and it would be interesting to observe whether this initiative ensures full house for a longer period.
While the fascinating frontiers of It indeed is one of the intriguing phenomenons of the Indian cinema that though India is blessed with one of the most beautiful and enchanting geographical expanses, they seldom are used as a theme to build up a story.

Keira Knightley to Make West End Debut in The Misanthrope


Keira Knightley is set to move from the big screen to the boards of London’s West End — she has landed a role in a play!




The British actress has bagged the lead role in a modern version of Moliere’s 17th century comedy The Misanthrope.

The Pirates of the Caribbean star, 24, will play a vacuous Hollywood film star who seduces a disillusioned playwright.

She will star alongside British actors Damian Lewis and Tara Fitzgerald.


The production — which will run at the British capital’s Comedy Theatre from December 17 until March 13 — will be directed by Thea Sharrock whose credits include the West production of Equus, starring Daniel Radcliffe and Richard Griffiths.

“It’s not a whim on her part. She’s absolutely ready to come into this vulnerable position,” Sharrock said of Knightley.

“I’m interested in working with her, to push her in a way that I don’t think she has been pushed before because although she has worked with amazing directors, film doesn’t work like that.”

Knightley is said to be “terrified but excited” about the play and has been taking voice and singing lessons to prepare for the role.
