A Veeroic effort!

Love it or hate it, but Salman Khan’s Veer is one heck of a brave effort, something we would like to call a “Veeroic” effort.

At a time when comedies rule the roost in Bollywood, Salman Khan and co. opted for something distinctly different. A mixture of history, mythology and nationalism narrated with a fine balance of romance, comedy, action and the age old formulaic masala.

Also, Salman is a writer to watch out for in the future. He has great sense of drama and sets up the movie pretty well. The romantic portions were well-written and the dilemma of the princess – to choose between her kingdom or lover – was potentially a great plot for a thrilling second half, that it didn’t happen is the director and screenplay writer’s fault.

Sure, the film is not without its share of major flaws, but then its the effort we are talking about here, something both the media and critics for some reason have overlooked.

Quick recall, and history based films have always been risky, the mightiest of them have failed (Read SRK with Asoka and Aamir with Mangal Pandey). Spending 50 crores plus makes it even more riskier.

So purely for the risk and effort the makers have taken and the fact that the film has managed to do reasonably well at the box office, Veer deserves a mention as one of the first successful films of the year and the decade.

    Thanks indicine team for posting this article ….this is really brave to make such kind of movie especially with the past experiences in which heavy weights like SRK and AMIR were fallen and dispite all these facts VEER is doing reasonable business which is great for future of these kind of movies

    once again thanks agian to makes and salman for making VEER..hope 2 see this kinds of heavy movie in future.

    INDICINE, Check out this Video :-

    www(.)bollywoodhungama(.)com/broadband/video/Court-Martial/x1V8n124/3/Court-Martial-With-Salman-Khan-For-Veer-Part-1(.)html

    Someday back i wrote here that CRITICS are more harmful than PIRACY, and it should be to the Audiences to decide the final outcome of the movie.

    Same has been said by Salman in the above video.

    With Due Respect to 3 IDIOT’s Success, i feel that had it not enjoyed such fabulous Response from critics, it may not have turned out to be the BIG HIT now it is.

    Similarly for VEER, had not it been thrashed it would have done much better than what it has actually done given the HUGE BUZZ VEER was carrying.

    An opening of 7 crores (which in terms of DS) , is the 3rd HIGHEST EVER after Ghajini & 3I, is a testimony to it.

    I strongly Feel that REVIEWS must come after 1 WEEK, and let the audience decide whether a film is success or not. IT”S HIGH TIME NOW

  • imshocked reading this write up.. in that case why have you forgotton his earlier efforts … suryavanshi ..this movie is of that genre ..this is salman DRONA .u call this effort praiseworthy???? this is shattering…. and wrong reporting.. from no angle is this movie a craft worth praising.. the story just moves according to the writers pen.. how daft>>>!!!!. nothing is well executed here.. and what romance are we talking about.. salman merrily enters the princess castle and starts singing….is this your idea of romance>>?? where is the pathos of hum dil de chuke sanam???

    this film should reside amongst the worst of hindi cinema and you all are praising it???

  • Megha…
    Have you watch the movie or not? If yes, you will understand what the writer try to say…. I’m sorry, but the person like you put the good film went unnoticed. Try to do your own film… that you know how it feel to be condemnd and pull down.

    Just wanna say that, such a shame to the Indian ppl. They all praising film from Hollywood (which is the same avatar as VEER) but condeming their own epic. Shame shame shame

  • @Indicine
