I really liked the Salman Khan film "Veer", and actually was convinced the plot was quite original, until I learned as usual, it's yet another Bollywood version of an older English movie.The 1962 "Taras Bulba", starring Yul Brynner and Tony Curtis, tells the same story (with less typical Hindi family drama of course) between the Cossacks and the Poles, taking place in the 16th century: "The Cossacks of Eastern Europe join the Poles to rid the Turks from the Steps of Europe. In return for their aid, the Poles agree to give control of the Steps to the Cossacks. After the battle, however, the Poles back out of their agreement and force the Cossacks into the hills. Taras Bulba, a Cossack Colonel, raises his son, Andrei Bulba to learn the ways of the Poles so he can one day defeat them in battle. In his learning process, however, Andrei falls in love with the daughter of a Polish Nobleman. This twist causes Andrei Bulba to choose between the love of the Cossacks, and the love of a woman, and causes Taras Bulba to choose between the love of his son, and the love of the Cossacks."

Here comes a Gladiator! The Khan loves to strip of his shirt once again and he likes it, as the character demands it. But again, leather jackets, rugged clothing, weapon in hand and horses... could be well suited only for Akbar Roshan (referring to Hrithik) and not the Khans (Aamir Mangal Pandey Khan, Shah Rukh Asoka Khan and now Salman Veer Khan). Having look alikes does not make the Jodi Hit. Humne Hit Banadi Jodi only of Salman - Ash and not Salman - Sneha Ullal (no Luck at all) and now Salman - Katrina lookalike in Zarine (strictly not a bit of Kaif at all). But Salman thinks so! He penned the story himself! Inspired by watching all old films of his father's era, this period film of 1862 in 2010 reminds you only of 1970 films. Director Anil Sharma makes Salman do the Sunny Deol way. But does not work for today's multiplex generation. The film is outdated and reminds you of the films that were made in the early 70's and 80's with Dilip Kumar, Dharmendra and even Bachchan (Mard). Jackie and Mithun support him as pillars while his brother Sohail looks like a junior artiste in the film. This British rule film is VEERy Poor and with ham scenes here and there, makes you laugh though. The best example to get bored is to watch VEER. And I doubt there will be VEERy little audience in the complex to watch it!

Veer 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.

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.
