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.

    Hina u r a true salman fan, heads off to u. salman will be proud of fans like u.. way to go..;) he he

  • @Zeeshan Dont worry veer will be above average or hit movie.This media cant stop audience to watch veerioc effort of veer.Salman Rocks

  • well answered Hina! 1 thing i would like to mention here that taran has defeated badly here, why?
    he said in his review that even his fan would disappoint but his fans are proud on veer and who were not his fans now ther are. We are proud on Salman that he has attempted that brave film that no1 could.

  • Prity:
    why u dont understand that we cant include overseas collections for hit and flop status. why u always try to put 15 cr overseas ????
    if a movie in overseas got 100 cr and in india only 10 cr then it means movie is disaster in india. so plz next time dont include overseas.
    and u said including overseas it will be 65 cr. so plz cut 15 cr from overseas it will be 50 cr and ur prediction is not true so it gona finish 46-48 cr maximum if u will thing 34 cr 1st week.

    Hina
    I know i am making more enemies on this site after Veer, because Truth is always harsh and i put true collections true predictions and true reviews which u guys dont like.
    plz never expect too much from any movie .
    even abt housefull i am thinking it will be around 55-60 cr maximum. i am not fool that . phod dia and tor dia karta rahoon.
    face the reality guys.
    but it is a big achievment for Mr Salman that his 3rd days and tuseday were on peak in single screne.
    next time may be batter. and plz dont worry abt Tom n Jerry it is Super Hit before release. and u will see at the time of Tom n Jerry who will promote more either u , rajib. Naveed, Afrid , so many more or Nauman.
    Debang is Eid release so also batter chance for it.

  • Azeem:
    i am agree with u that he did a good and brace attampt, but not successfull 100 % , so may be next time , life never end after one hit or one flop.last decade wasnt good enough for Salman but now he has learnt and may be next time we wont repeat his mistakes.
    same case with Akshay , now he is trying to get good scripts and reasonable budget.

    Zeeshan:
    i am agree with u , but 50 cr plus looks hard sicne Ishqiya on rules on single and double (multiplex) screnes both.
    same like DDD , Paa kicked DDD and now Ishqiya.
    why our super stars dont make a low budget movie with 10 , 15 cr , believe me 2nd day investment recover and every movie will get super hit / block buster status.
    beause all these movies has worth of 40-50 cr life time.
    15 cr main movie banao 45 cr ka business karo , BB ho jao and if movie is really very good that may be 70 cr and ATBB.
    kaisa ????

  • @Nauman ..Thatz better.N I have neva said phod diya on this site.My review was highly flattering coz I rated Veer as Die Hard Salman fan.N many non-Sallu fanz are also crazy about Veer like I was when I watched the Premier.But about business I can say nothing but can be optimistic only.Only problem for Houseful is T20 worldcup else it has everything in its favour ;)

    @Azeem ..Thankyou.I agree about Salman’s achievement through Veer.Even Faridoon on Bollywood Hungama has said that he has been amazed by the way Salman’s fan have supported Veer n criticized the critics.

  • Mr. Nauman! he has done 100% and acheived 100% but in eyes of haters like u and taran adarsh he is failed but who cares u both. We are 100% satisfied and proud on veer. It has some reason 1 is negative review from salman haters that effected it

  • Azeem :
    r u all right ???? avrage tag is 100 % ???? less than 50 cr life time is 100 % ??? less than 3 stars from every decent site is 100 % ????
    plz dont let ur salman down. he is a very good acter with good looking eyes and ideal body .
    so u think abt ur sallu that he has worth of only 50 cr ???
    shame on u
    i deserve 100 cr but more 100 cr he need to work very hard. and London Dreams was the movie who could get 100 cr but i dont know what happened with that . it was really sock for me when i found LD with Flop tag atleast it could be avarage . but…………..

  • Hina
    thx i think it is 1st time on Veer’s page that u are not against with me.
    i know u never said phod diya but all other fool people were trying to show that Veer broke all previous records .
    according to thier statement
    Veer is
    friday 30 cr
    saturday 40 cr
    sunday 50 cr
    weekend 120 cr
    1st week 200 cr
    2nd week 150 cr
    life time 500 cr
    believe me if any unknown person will read those comments he will think same which i mentioned above.
    guys plz
    be practical be realisteic.
    so now veer is over
    every thing is clear
    minimum Below Avarage and miximum Above Avarage.
    no flop no hit
    minimum 42 cr life time maximum 50 cr life time.
    thats it.
    my prediction from very 1st day is coming true.

    Hina i dont know why i am thinging abt MNIK is
    28 cr weekend 45 cr 1st week 18 cr 2nd week life time 80 – 85 cr.
    if RNBDJ can get 80 cr then every single movie can get 80 cr.
    what do u think ?

  • Dont be over smart here. I didn’t talk about business here ok. Salman made veer for him and for his fans.
    So don’t talk business and ur stupid pridictions.

  • @Nauman..If they are crazy so are you.Now again u r calling it below average when u know its heading towards above average tag n 50 carores means a hit.So use ur brain little bit.

    About MNIK no comments coz I won’t watch dat movie because of Kurbaan.I can’t digest the way Karan Johar has highlighted Islam in kurbaan n now in MNIK.But movie may do well coz of SRK n Kajol.I really got hurt by Kurbaan…Even though the movie was well made one but it played with my emotions.

  • Prity
    now u look like a good girl.
    now u didnt include overseas collections.
    i wish ur prediction should be true.
    Azeem:
    none of any actor makes his movies only for his fans , every movie makes for every one.
    and u cant stop to any one to watch movie.
    u said that Salman made Veer only for his fans.
    it means he hasn’t care abt other people. he wana give us a damn ……
    i told u before u r pulling down ur Salman. so plz dont put these stupid comments here.

    Hina
    i said minimum below avg if movie will perform very very very badly in next days.
    but according to me and other tarde pundits it is Avarage. and lets see that with 50 cr life time what tag Veer will get. we are not trade pundits and we cant give any final verdicts, we have to follow others.
    MNIK doesnt mattar good movie or bad ,but may be at this time they will show Islam in good manners.
    finger cross , just wait for 11th Feb

  • Hi guys

    I am loving this site, as if there is a war going on…………….

    Now ab veer. I think veer is doing well. According 2 boxoffice india veer was collected 31cr 4m 1233 screen and veer screen space 1300. So the collection will be little bit higher.

    2nd thing veer will end up with DS 26-27 so it not a ab-avg , it a semi hit because if jodha akber will be with DS 25 and Hey Babyv with DS 25. Then why not VEER be a semi hit atleast.

    3rd thing no site is updating collection 4m Pakistan and why not VEER be a semi hit atleast.
    3rd thing u guys know why no site is updating collection 4m Pakistan and 4m UAE???? because they if they do so then over all overseas collection will look litter better…………anti sallu bhai media.

    Nothing is lost yet…what u say guys

  • I m always will be fan of salman But Plz guys stop publising wrong boxoffice….2nd weekend just collect around 6 crs and it is 10 day earn is around 39 crs.So ,Stop telling nonsense.Veer is not more than avg/above avg.!!!!!! Be glad that Salman rocks in the movie…And PLZ stop telling lie…..Truth is truth so…No need to worry

  • @sudeep ..Thats the point I have been trying to make since morning.M glad u made a sensible comment on this page.

  • @hina
    if the collection is 39 it doesn’t matter and one thing is very much clear that veer is the first success of 2010 but the point is why there is deduction in the collection after declaring it then also after 5 days
