It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Salman Khan's lean phase was during this time of his career, despite ending his flop streak with Wanted in 2009. He continued to give flops and a disaster until Dabangg which was the start of his blockbuster period. Salman Khan is one of the finest actors in Bollywood but this film was not the right kind of film for him. He does much better in Masala action films like Wanted and comedies like Partner. He even did much better films in the 90s but films like Veer brought his career down.Veer was an extremely hyped up movie, people were excited because it was supposed to be the next Gadar(2001). Sadly, all that hype was for nothing and yes, many people got disappointed. The film did average in single screens but it failed to show any growth at the multiplexes. Even at single screens, the collections dropped and the film became a disaster. The story of the film is actually not a bad effort, but the handling and the flow of the story is not up to mark. The start was good and Salman's entry was superb. However, the forced comedy and the romance doesn't fit well with the story. The second half goes downhill, its like they had an average first half and a horrible second half. The second half of the film focuses on revenge and how it is executed in a poor way. The ending is hilariously bad, Salman Khan gets shot but dies after a long battle. It is so messed up and it doesn't make sense how Khan doesn't die. Plus, the typical Father Vs Son nearing the ending where Mithun and Salman are forced to fight is straight out of 90s movies.Direction by Anil Sharma is poor, he seems to be stuck in his Hukumat days. These kind of films would have worked if they released earlier but, the film had to release now.Salman Khan is not at his best here, he overacts badly in some scenes but acts well in the action scenes. Sohail Khan is horrible in this film, he overacts in everything from comedy to sorrow. Zarine Khan is good looking but her acting is poor, her expressions are not well timed. Mithun Chakraborty does a fantastic job, he is the life of the film. Jackie Shroff is average, he is the villain. The rest provide average support.On the whole, Veer is an average film at its best. It wasn't an awful film but it wasn't anything great either.

Salman khan is the writer of this movie & this time he Disappoints me. the story is set up in the era when British ruled India & the Indians wanted British to go back & leave India independent. the films starts well but in between looses the control.the script is a mix of many movies or novels.. Xenia,Mangal Panday,troy & some older stories from India...Salman Khan what is wrong with you...Mr Veer jokes,gets funny,gets angry in a second,falls in love with Zarine Khan(the fat princess). Mithun was over acting as usual,Zarine was cool,Jackie Shroff was trying too hard to be a bad guy but failing... the soundtrack of the movie is amazing...Ill give this movie 5/10...i hope Salman Khan realizes his mistake & let this be a lesson for those who jumps to make a movie without proper plan.

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

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
