Reviews

Gypsi Bates Pindari warrior, Prithvi Singh (Mithun Chakraborty) spent his younger days fighting against the British Rule. When his sons, Veer (Salman Khan) and Punya (Sohail Khan), come of age, he sends them to England to learn the ways of the British so as to fight them better. While there, Veer falls in love with an Indian princess, played by Zareen Khan. He returns to India determined not only to win her, but to overthrow her British-supported evil father (Jackie Shroff) as well.This action drama is an enjoyable one from start to finish. The plot is convoluted enough to be interesting, without being overly political. Most of the costumes, the Pindari in particular, look great, but the dresses of the British women always looked too flimsy and somehow inappropriate. The musical numbers were generally good, one tune particularly haunting, despite the fact that not all the songs or dances fit the time period. The action and fighting, with one exception, looked real and natural Chakraborty and Shroff were great in their supporting roles. Whether the fault of the actor or the script, Sohail Khan's role was too full of slap-stick comedy. Salman Khan played the hard warrior very well. Zareena Khan's role was minimal and somewhat two dimensional, but she certainly was lovely. Overall, it was an exciting and fun film and well worth watching.
sumanbarthakursmailbox Veer suffers from formulaic overkill. There is just so much contrived jabber-jabber you can take about defending your honour, about duty versus love, and about drinking the blood of the British. The film's director, Anil Sharma, may have touched a chord with a similarly jingoistic approach in his Sunny Deol-starrer Gadar: Ek Prem Katha, but in Veer the chest-thumping melodrama appears mechanical and excessive. The film, then is watchable for Salman Khan's arresting screen presence, his charming romantic overtures, and a degree of involvement from him that you haven't seen before. Unfortunately, what lets Veer down in the end is the fact that it overstays its welcome. At almost two hours and forty minutes, it's way more than you can handle on an evening out. It doesn't help that key parts are filled by weak actors like Sohail Khan, Puru Raaj Kumar and Aryan Vaid who rob the film of any shred of credibility it might have otherwise earned.Watch it if you're a die-hard Salman fan. It's an epic-sized period film with tacky special effects. Unacceptable in these times. From Cameron's Pandora to Anil Sharma's Pindhari, we've come a long way. The film's action is visceral with several blood-splattered slaughter scenes, but often runs the risk of coming off as ridiculous. A Gladiator-style duel ends with Salman literally twisting a man's head 360 degrees around, and there's another one in which he yanks out a rival's insides with his bare hands.The film also suffers on account of too many songs that don't take the narrative forward, including one in which Neena Gupta jiggles and wiggles and heaves her bosom suggestively at the entire Pindhari clan including her grown-up sons who dance along merrily.Much of the film's first half holds up because there's conviction even in the stupidity. You may find it hard to believe that one man can single-handedly fight an armed gang, but Salman and his director dive into the most preposterous scenes unblinkingly.
jerrel100 Why wasted so much efforts and time to throw more than 30 million dollars away, if they could throw all the money straight in the ditch and finish the job in just one second? Really, for me this movie is awful and lame. This is a perfect example of narcissist cinema. The central theme of the movie is not Veer but Salman Khan. So if you like to see a movie which highlights all angles of this icon, then this is your movie.People like me, who like to see a good developed character are curling their toes by witnessing this punishment. Salman is fully loaded with anabolics which block him even to try acting. Veer is king of looking dangerous with angry eyes, however I can't call that acting. The background music score is also terrible: throughout the whole movie you hear "ho ho ho ho ho ho". The stunts are so infantile: Mithun is getting wounded at the end by a small scratch and he yells like a woman giving birth to a baby. I think that this production is definitely not suitable for the westernized world and also not for Indians living in these sides of the world, due to it's logic, which irritates and hurts both eyes and ears. For me the enlightening part was just the appearance of the Dutch bodybuilder as a mad gladiator!Salman should continue doing movies like No Entry, wherein he plays a naive guy who is been fooled.Till today, in my opinion, Asoka is still the mature historical epic from Bollywood, produced in 2001.As for most Indian movies, I state that it's better to release special editions for the world outside India. By cutting redundant songs and some movie parts which has no added value to the main storyline, there will remain a better result to digest for the western viewers.
silvan-desouza In the 80's films like KRANTI(81) and MARD(1985) were huge hits even recently LAGAAN and GADAR created history but now people are fed up of such films which explains why VEER is floppingThe film seems like a poor cousin of MARD and KRANTI and mixed scenes of GLADIATOR and TROY which makes no senseThe film starts off well but the entire train robbery is the most hilarious and worst scene of recent VEER is made a KRISSH and made to do stunts to appeal to the masses(single screens)The film seems made just to please those b and c grade centers where even Mithun films are classicsThe film suddenly shifts to romance, to comedy and to some nonsense which results in a mishmash commercial potboilerDirection by Anil Sharma is bad Music is ordinarySalman gives it all but tends to overdo it and is too loud in many scenes Sohail is useless, why does Salman take him in his films no idea? The heroine Zarine seems a poor cousin of Katrina Jackie Shroff is okay while Mithun is good rest are ordinary
