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.
... View MoreI must say that the film is excellent. I believe there are much more Hindi films for which we have not heard that is good like this one. Yes, maybe the movie has something deja vu, but it's been a lot of time that i see a movie without sex and special effect which is quite entertaining. One of the best foreign films. My recommendation, see an American movie, and then see this one i believe that you will feel the refreshment. I must add that the music is excellent, and I'll probably buy a soundtrack of this movie. the only bad thing is that the movie don't have a happy end like i was suspected, but i think that's the Hindi movie stile.
... View MoreVeer is a good movie and its doing good as well but when i read the reviews in newspaper its was not that good reviews about the movies the media is not true at all the movie is very good and action, animation and the story is very good and its going good in small towns and metro's as well what i would recommend is to watch the movie once at least so go head and watch the movie thanks to one of the reviews in IMDb which said it was good movie so i watch its and it was indeed a very good movies now don't start comparing it to 3 idiots that a excellent movies, never the less one and only Salman Khan has done it once again so make time for this one.
... View MoreWhy 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.
