In Hindi with English subtitles.

Rated 14A. Hyped as Salman Khans magnum opus, and penned by his own hand, Veer is an anachronistic mashup that fails completely.

Played in all sincerity as an epic love story and a historical drama, this film lacks the one critical element of any period film: attention to detail.

The narrative of this film is disrupted at every moment with glaring illogical inaccuracies in the sets, the costumes, the music, and in the story itself.

The title character is played by Salman Khan as the musclebound warrior son of a Pindari leader who is charged from infancy with the task of avenging his fathers defeat by both the British and the traitorous King of Madavgarh.

We first meet the adult Veer as he and his companions loot a train whose cargo is Indian gold bound for England, a fitting task for any anticolonial hero.

However, the drama of the moment is substantially compromised by the fact that Khan is outfitted in modern leather pants and what can only be called a very pretty blouse.

Such gaffes litter the screen as Veer, with his brother Punya (Sohail Khan), travels to England as part of the infamous Macaulay education plan, delivers a few rousing antiimperialist speeches, kills countless British soldiers, romances an Indian princess (the daughter of his sworn enemy), and returns safely to India.

The music is a muddled mess of multiple genres, and the love story falls flat.

There are many gory battle scenes, and Khan displays his musculature in every frame.

But there simply isnt enough gravitas in the film to justify its ambitious claims.

Veer Salman Khan Hd 2010 Movie Will Surely

No matter what you say.This movie will surely ROCK at box office.

MUST WATCH guys.be your own critic otherwise you will miss out a masterpiece 63 41 Rating: 22 Maulik Jan 25, 2010 at 4:21pm Hi, I guess we need to patient for one week atleast for reasonable amount of audience to see the movie.

I think it is stupid to say the move ie a hit or a flop on day of release.

Even Maine pyar was slow in the first week.It picked up in the second week.

So it is better to wait and watch rather than jump to sillly conclusion.

If you think wanted was impressive then veer is ten times better what can you say this man surely does have the power of ten.

This epic movie is very different and new than other historical pictures and definitely worth a watch.
