I’m not a big fan of Salman Khan, nor do I feel the chubby Katrina look-alike Zarine Khan can act but you cannot resist catching a Bollywood flick living in this part of the country. The glamor just pulls you in. Salman Khan’s Veer is an epic story. A tale of love and a brave warrior. A tale that doesn’t leave you flabbergasted, a tale that can put you into depression.
I believe for most of you the review ended with the last sentence of the previous paragraph. But then you’re too keen enough for a big-ass review of Veer you’re reading this. So why doesn’t Veer work for Salman? Poor direction, pathetic screenplay, a story that’s more than just inspired by major period films and then a soundtrack that’s way too vague.
Apparently the story credits reveal Salman Khan wrote Veer by himself. I can bet Salman had seen too much of Gladiator, Troy and even Bollywood epic Kranti while writing the story for Veer.

I was more impressed with the Rajkumar Santoshi tag while a lot of girls were interested in the hair weaving chocolate hero Ranbir Kapoor (yes it’s true). My first mistake. So the entire campus is set loose by some insane time-table setting authority. Faridabad is flooded with bags-and-handbags-carrying crowd with a desperate look on their faces as they battle it out at the box office to get tickets. Cell phones became life savers as groups split to different multiplexes hoping to catch the latest show. If only the youth of the nation worked this hard the other way around. So we also decided to opt for a Faridabad multiplex itself. My second mistake.
