Veer

It was Marigold that sent me on my Bollywood quest. Although a American/Hindi hybrid - the acting of Salman Khan caught my eye ! And so began my epic journey to find/buy//or see everything that he has made. After watching him in Dabangg, Wanted, and Ek Tha Tiger. Veer was no disappointment either. The elements of this fantastic actor is evident in every movie - Veer is no less. What I love about Bollywood is they serve to entertain with acting, scenery, costumes, and most importantly music. This historical/period piece has it all. The action scenes were sometimes over the top...but that's what makes the movie good ! I loved the opulence and the tribal costumes. It really didn't matter if they were totally on point historically - they worked. History is filled with deception - Veer does not suffer and Salman Khan plays it like a man in love ! I watched this movie without subtitles yet I was able to follow and grab the essence of every scene. I didn't have to wonder when Veer's mother took off two gold bangles and gave them to him the intent - it was clear as a bell. No words needed. So I write this review based on the emotion and visual treatment of the movie. You don't know what you are missing...give it a try then, see the others you won't be disappointed.

Pindari warrior, Prithvi Singh (Mithun Chakraborty) spent his younger days fighting against the British Rule. When his sons, Veer (Salman Khan) and Punya (Sohail Khan), come of age, he sends them to England to learn the ways of the British so as to fight them better. While there, Veer falls in love with an Indian princess, played by Zareen Khan. He returns to India determined not only to win her, but to overthrow her British-supported evil father (Jackie Shroff) as well.This action drama is an enjoyable one from start to finish. The plot is convoluted enough to be interesting, without being overly political. Most of the costumes, the Pindari in particular, look great, but the dresses of the British women always looked too flimsy and somehow inappropriate. The musical numbers were generally good, one tune particularly haunting, despite the fact that not all the songs or dances fit the time period. The action and fighting, with one exception, looked real and natural Chakraborty and Shroff were great in their supporting roles. Whether the fault of the actor or the script, Sohail Khan's role was too full of slap-stick comedy. Salman Khan played the hard warrior very well. Zareena Khan's role was minimal and somewhat two dimensional, but she certainly was lovely. Overall, it was an exciting and fun film and well worth watching.

I have recently become an avid fan of Bollywood movies, in particular, the films of Salman Khan. This film is a spectacular epic in the genreof "El Cid", "Quo Vadis", "Lawrence of Arabia" and "Ben-Hur". It tells the story of a small group of people challenging overwhelming odds with themes of humanity,freedom, courage, family, loyalty, and love. The visuals are beautiful and the costumes and music are stunning and contribute to the story.Mr. Khan is an exceptional actor, singer, and dancer and now also proves himself to be capable of incorporating all his talents into wonderful,believable historic figure. I'm not sure of the acccuracy of the film, but it echoes any nation struggling for freedom. As I said, Mr. Khanis fantastic and I'm sorry the American public has not been more exposed to his films and especially this one. Not to be missed. I wouldpurchase this film in blu-ray, if possible, as it really comes to life!

"Veer" is a sprawling, action epic starring Hindi cinema's favorite action hero, Salman Khan. The violence and gore is reminiscent of "Gladiator", and the elaborate fight sequences centering on the hero-who-can-do-anything will remind you of Brad Pitt in "Troy". Of course, Salman can do something that neither Russell Crowe nor Brad Pitt can do - dance! But more on that later."Veer" opens in 1870s colonial India: various tribes and chiefdoms vie for power by collaborating with the occupying British. One of these tribes, the Pindari, are a rough bunch who live by a strict code of honor - a code that is often maintained through duels within the tribe itself. One thing the Pindari refuse to do, however, is collaborate with the British. When they are betrayed by a more sophisticated Indian chiefdom, they become even more entrenched in their hatred for the British and their Indian puppet-kings.Our hero, Veer, is born to the Pindari tribe after this great betrayal, and he is raised to be fiercely anti-British and physically aggressive. However, unlike his father, he is also raised to be educated so that he might one day match the cunning of the British. Veer is sent to England, ostensibly to join one of the schools meant to educate the "natives", but really to learn the ways of the evil occupiers.As one reviewer noted, it is true that this film portrays sections of society in rather black-and-white terms: the British are always evil; the Pindari are always fighting for what is right; and other Indians who collaborate are good at heart but unfortunately stuck with corrupt rulers who follow the British. This film suffers from what almost every other Hindi film suffers from: mediocre actors in the "white" roles. I've always been puzzled as to why this is the case, or where Indian studios find their white actors, but they never quite live up to their Indian counterparts in the acting department. So, be prepared for some stiff acting from the British actors.On the Indian side, however, the casting is superb. Mithun Chakraborty looks fantastic and entirely believable as the chief of the Pindaris; Jackie Shroff is also great as the corrupt ruler of the kingdom of Madhavgarh. Zarine Khan is beautiful and fits the role of a crown princess who is also being educated abroad. Her character is a bit more passive than I would have liked, but to be honest, this film is really not about the women. Salman Khan is, of course, perfect for the role (since he wrote it himself).The locations are stunning, particularly the shots of Rajasthan. It's the costume design that is strangely divided: the Indian costumes are magnificent, the British ones less so. The time period should be turn of the century, but the Western costumes seem to run the gamut from late 19th century to 1920s in style. It feels as though the costume designers weren't too sure about the Western outfits, particularly for women, and they're not as high quality as the Indian costumes.The music is pretty good - the opening song, "Taali", is a rousing number that features Mithun, Salman, and Sohail Khan with some good choreography. "Meherbaniyan" is a catchy song with some bagpipe-sounding elements. I particularly like the choreography for this one, because it's creatively structured around the fact that Veer is supposed to have an injured leg at this point in the story, so the steps are meant to highlight that Veer's dancing mostly on one leg. Very fun, and Salman's a great dancer. "Surili Akhiyon Wale" is the main love theme and it's very nice - especially with the fantastic Rahat Fateh Ali Khan on lead vocals - but it would have been better without the female English part.Overall, the story is a bit lacking in nuance, but if you're a fan of big historical epics, then it's worth watching. I was particularly struck by the amount of violence and blood, which I haven't seen very frequently in Hindi movies. Veer is a vicious, tribal character who also adheres strictly to his code of honor. His character is perhaps the most nuanced, as he wrestles with very violent rage alongside a desire to be humane.

I love the new condition of the item.

awesome

I enjoyed this film though not as much as I did Marigold and Bride and Prejudice. I think Salman Khan is a versatile actor. He can do romantic, comedy or action films equally as well. There is plenty of action in Veer

Well opinions do vary. I can honestly say that this was filmed in stunning visual style, with scenes ranging from a dusty desertsteam train line to London's Maritime Museum in Greenwich. Every detail looks authentic, down to the the blood & dust on the warriors'clothes. Great period costumes, decor & props immerse you into the atmosphere. Action scenes assisted by CGI to great effect if youdon't look too cynically. Visually it even beats Jodha Akhbar.Not intended to be historically accurate like a documentary, this movie entertains with an honourable moral. Salman Khan plays it withthe usual macho swagger mixed with a spoonful of charm & caustic wit. His love interest is the predictably demure Zarine Khan who wasadded just for ornamental value. She didn't get enough lines to prove her acting ability.It has scenery, action, atmosphere & romance to cater for most tastes, but just take it for what it is: great entertainment.

Video quality and audio are both good. Songs are well shot. Large sets , mostly original places. Good cinematography. Have to overlook a bit of overacting
