I ignored this film for so much time after hearing an interview from Salman Khan. In the interview it was revealed that this plot came in to his head the same time as his earlier movie Chandramukhi. He said it was not feasible in those days to make a film on this scale and now it was so he was pushed and helped in releasing his movie Veer.I was thinking 20 years thought must be out dated and pain too watch like a lot of films that get released in the wrong decade.On this occasion I was wrong it was superb, dialogue, delivery, cast and stylisation brilliant.The producer, director and cinematographer enhanced this film with their production a brutally honest depiction of a proud but violent tribe that started a revolution.Zareena or fat Katrina as some have labelled was used I was people have posted as Katrina dropped out and they used her body double, how a body double in not proportionately the same I do not know. Zareena did a satisfactory job but this film required someone who is known and loved in Bollywood.Brilliant film, cast and production. Unfortunately Katrina or another celebrity was not in it for a commercial point of view and would have been a blockbuster

I have just finished watching the movie and was truly entertaining. Salman khan dialogs ,emotions and fighting scenes were truly worth watching. The movie has a terrific romantic story. Mithun Chakraborty is good as always.It is Salman best work and shows that he can produce movies that r marvelous. I have not seen any fantastic fight and bravery that was shown in the movie. From the first scene to the last scene , the movie kept me as a glue to my seat. It's a mixture of love ,hate,anger and pride. Nothing stopped me from watching this film. Really, I enjoyed this movie.

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.

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.
