This Diwali brace yourself for a joyride into the deep of the Pacific ocean. Yes, I am talking about Shree Ashtavinayak Cine Vision Ltd.’s upcoming action-thriller Blue Hindi movie. I just watched trailer of the movie t the official website of Shree Ashtavinayak Cine Vision Ltd. I do not know about you guys but one look at the trailer reminded me of two Hollywood movies- Into the Blue and Torque. Into the Blue(2005), starring Paul Walker and Jessica Alba, tells the story of buried treasure under the sea involving two friends and drug dealers. The movie also has a sequel titled in Into the Blue 2: The Reef. The motor cycle action sequences in the woods and jumping in front of the train are very much similar to what you see in Torque(2004), an action movie starring Monet Mazure and Martin Hedersen (Yes, the attractive William Darcy in Bride and Prejudice).
