Review: Veer is a colossal disappointment!

Movie: Veer
Director: Anil Sharma
Cast: Salman Khan, Sohail Khan, Mithun Chakraborty, Jackie Shroff, Zarine Khan, Lisa Lazarus

At the outset, Veer drives home a few hard facts. (a) No amount of gloss can substitute for an engaging story, (b) not all directors are capable of pulling off a period film, and (c) no star - even the biggest - can infuse life in a comatose script.

Everyone's awaiting Veer with bated breath. The film industry will get another breather if Veer goes the 3 Idiots way at the box-office. The public will have one more fascinating genre to look forward to, if Veer appeals to them. But your hopes go crashing as reel after reel of Veer unfurls.

Salman Khan (who has been credited as the story writer of Veer) takes Taras Bulba, adds Gladiator, Conan The Barbarian, Troy, Titanic and even Kranti, (the end is a straight lift from the Manoj Kumar-Dilip Kumar starrer) and comes up with this khichdi which gets unpalatable after a point.

Veer is about a warrior and at the same time, it's a love story too. Sadly, neither does it evoke any patriotism, nor does the love story make your heart go dhak-dhak.

The writing (screenplay: Shaktimaan Talwar, Shailesh Verma) is so fragile that one is mentally exhausted by the time this marathon movie finally reaches its finale. Of course, Salman's star power tries hard to salvage the situation, but window dressing doesn't help if the store has nothing to offer.

Final word? You have to be a veer to sit through Veer. Colossal disappointment!

As the British enslave India with their devious divide and rule policy, kings and nawabs fall to their schemes and entrust their precious kingdom to the foreigners, except for the brave Pindaris, who prefer death to dishonour and will fight to their last breath to save their land.

The bravest, the toughest, the strongest of the Pindaris is Veer (Salman Khan). As Veer takes on the might of the British Empire, he also has to fight the conniving King of Madavgarh (Jackie Shroff) as well his own jealous tribesmen. At stake is his love for princess Yashodhara (Zarine Khan), daughter of his sworn enemy. At stake is his thirst to avenge his father's dishonour.

Veer has it all - great stars, opulent and majestic sets, adrenaline-pumping action scenes, but no soul (read script). The movie begins with a bang, but the moment the story shifts to London, it crashes!

Frankly, it's a screenplay of convenience. Salman meets the woman of his dreams within minutes of reaching London and that looks so unreal. You try to digest it and move on to the next scene and lo and behold, the damsel studies in the same college that our hero has enrolled in. Now that looks fake!

The sequence at the interval is interesting, although it remains a mystery how Puru Raaj Kumar gets to know of Salman's identity. At this point, Salman becomes a killing machine, slaughters more than a dozen people in the hostel campus (including a few gora soldiers) and conveniently escapes from London with a badly injured brother (played by Sohail). Now that is taking it too far.

The second hour goes on and on and on, emphasising on unfulfilled promises, seething anger and revenge, love and freedom and frankly, you are least bothered by now. In fact, you lose interest in the proceedings. Period. The climax is so long drawn and more of an anti-climax, while the ending is bizarre and unintentionally funny.

Director Anil Sharma fails to deliver. That's the bitter truth. The project had everything going in its favour, but alas, Sharma and his writers make a complete mess of the story. Sajid-Wajid's music is melodious, but why repeat one song (Surili Ankhiyon Wali) again and again?

The background score (Monty) is top notch. Gopal Shah's cinematography is splendid. Tinu Verma's action scenes are dynamic and in fact, the saving grace of Veer. The production design (Art: Sanjay Dhabade) give an authentic feel of the bygone era.

Veer rides on Salman's star power, but even his hardcore fans will be disappointed by this movie. Zarine Khan resembles Katrina Kaif, but wears one expression all through. Mithun is okay, while Jackie does his bit well. Sohail Khan irritates, meanwhile Puru Raaj Kumar and Aryan Vaid get no scope. Neena Gupta is as usual. The English actors are stereotype.

On the whole, Veer proves the age-old adage true: All that glitters is not gold. The film may open very well at single screens thanks to Salman's popularity and the hype surrounding the film and may also enjoy a healthy extended weekend, but given its exorbitant costs and poor merits, Veer will face an uphill task to recover costs. This one's a monumental disappointment!

Salman Khan's much awaited film Veer is now all set to hit the theatres. The film is slated for a January 22, 2010 release.

Veer is a grandiose period saga. The story of Veer is set in 1875. It was the period post the Revolt of 1857 when the British had established their control over most of India. But there was one clan that refused to budge under the might of the British Empire, the Pindari warriors.

Salman plays the title role of Veer, the warrior prince. The film is directed by Anil Sharma. Anil was not able to recreate the success of Gadar - Ek Prem Katha with his subsequent releases.

With Veer Anil hopes to better even Gadar. The film also stars Mithun Chakraborty. Mithun, the superstar of the 1980s, is now making his mark again in character roles.

Making their Bollywood debut with Veer are Zarine Khan and two foreign actresses, Lisa Lazarus and Gita Soto. Veer has been shot in Rajasthan and in the UK.

The film's starcast also includes Sohail Khan, Jackie Shroff, Neena Gupta and Aryan Vaid. The music has been composed by Sajid-Wajid.

Veer is also a love story, that goes beyond the borders. Veer is inspired from Taras Bulba, a 1962 film loosely based on Nikolai Gogol's short novel by the same name. Veer has been scripted by Salman Khan himself.

Veer's release date is clashing with Ram Gopal Varma's Rann, starring Amitabh Bachchan and Vishal Bhardwaj-produced Ishqiya.

Salman Khan, Kareena Kapoor are back

Most Wanted Salman Khan is back with another sweet and rather unusual love story in Main aur Mrs Khanna opposite Kareena Kapoor.

Though Salman and Kareena have done quite a few films earlier, but they haven't managed to create too much hype onscreen as a couple. However, come this Diwali the duo will be seen in debutante Prem Soni's much awaited and talked about film.

The film has been shot prominently in Australia and is based on the theme of love and marriage. Besides Kareena and Sallu, the film also stars Sohail Khan who plays the role of Kareena's husband.
