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.
SUDEEP you telling lie . Where are you getting this collections . Stop telling lie about salman ” VEER” .

hahhahahahahahhaha
Hina
dear
crtics alwys wrong
but they were same crics , who apreciate the wanted and ld. so plz dont teell some bad about critics.
boi is always giving correct information.
according boi veer is flop. accept that truth.
salman did great job in veer but director didnt. so plz live in reality.
forget about veer and concentrate on sallu’s next moviese
Adiii
i am agree with u but make sure it is not a flop it is avarage movie unless it will pick up from monday 2nd week and get avobe avarage status.
rajib halder are u mad ???
why are u talking abt gross amount.
govt tax kia tum apni pocket se pay karo ge ?
and DS not same for every movie. if heyy babyy , JA and other movies got hit status with 25 cr DS does it menas every movie need to get 25 cr DS ????
hahahah
poor guy.
and Hina u r decent and sensible person, u can tell to other sallu fans that plz dont put false collections.
it is 100 % sure that Veer’s 10 days collections are not more than 40 cr with 24 cr DS.
dont talk abt over seas , dont talk abt pak n UAE. because these collections wont go in distributer’s pocket.
@adiii ..So u r back in form.Let me clear you 4 the last time Veer is not a flop.Veer has recovered its money n has achieved alot its an avergae or above average fare n may be a semi hit.So stop pasting total nonsense stuff here.N abt MNIK not only Sallu fanz but also Akki fanz will give u a tough time on this site coz of ur obonoxious behaviour 4 Veer and DDD.M not interested in MNIK.I like SRK-Kajol chemistry n I know if it is a good movie it will do well at box-office.
@nauman ..Thanks 4 ur nice words abt me.But if u think Rajib is a fool here so is adiii.Both of them are in opposite directions but both of them are exaggerating alot one is calling it a flop other is calling it a blockbuster.Veer has been halted in business due to problems in Rajhastan territory.But still m looking 4 an above average tag atleast INSHALLAH.
Adiii
Veer ne phoda nahi ab tak , lekin sallu fans kahien tera sir na phod dain.
ziada larai na karo bhai kion ke 2 weeks baad srk ki bari hai
sab se bana ke rakh.
some people think their self very smart. and great trade pandits of bollywood.
the collection 4m Pakistan and uae will not to distributer pocket ,rather it will go some smart people’s pocket.
always DS share matters. i was just a trying to bring a compare between similar movies with similar budget with no hard feelings.
Veer still going strong

A film embroiled in controversy often sees more business than a film that’s not had one, what with audiences turning up to watch the film to

figure out what the controversy is all about.
And this seems to have worked for Veer too, the Salman-starrer period flick that saw better occupancy on Sunday, than the last week, in various cinema halls in Jaipur. The film ran into rough waters on Saturday morning when a representative group of the Rajput community, Karni Sena, protested against some dialogues used in the film that they feel are derogatory to Rajputs.
But apparently, after the protests on Saturday, Veer saw more footfalls on Sunday in at least some of the movie halls in the city. Says Vikramaditya Maitreya, unit manager of Inox Vaibhav, where members of Karni Sena carried out protests against the film, “We have registered nearly 30 percent increase in the occupancy on our shows on Sunday, after the controversy sprang up. But I would also attribute the higher footfalls to the weekend.” Adds Ujjwal Srivastava, manager of First Cinema, “Since Veer didn’t witness a great opening, we were expecting a dip of 20 per cent occupancy in the second week. But surprisingly, the occupancy has gone up by 15 percent on all our shows on Sunday. I would attribute this to the controversy and the protests surrounding it. I think people are intrigued about the issue and the scenes that led to the controversy.” But there are some who say that the footfalls have remained unaffected, post the controversy.
Ashish Sharma, team leader operations, Entertainment Paradise, opines, “The controversy hasn’t changed the level of occupancy at all because in my opinion, in case of films, the word-of-mouth matters a lot. As the film isn’t a runaway hit, even the controversy can’t attract the audiences at this stage. And new films are also on from this Friday, and people are thinking twice before buying the tickets.” Similarly Vishal Kapur, Chief Operating Officer (COO) of Fun Cinema observes, “Because of the ruckus created by the Karni Sena in our property, we had to cancel two morning show on Saturday. But police then provided protection and now things are back to normal. But the numbers don’t show any significant change in the occupancy. It is pretty normal.” However, on conditions of anonymity a source at Fun Cinema says, “Any publicity is good publicity. So this one has also worked in favour of the film and the occupancy has gone up because of increase in curiosity among Jaipurites about the movie. Usually, a film that has a slow start doesn’t see a rise in occupancy in the second week. But this has.”
@RAJIB,
i m in full agreement with u that these people doesnt have to do with any community or religion.They r jst doing that 4 cheap publicity.
all u srk fans this is for u. guys plz refer to channel ZOOM which reports that the prerelease reports of MNIK are very dissapointing.
MNIK is not creating any type of curiosity among audiance. Plz note that i m assuring you that MNIK will be a flop or at max. it will be an avg.
Its nothing but a copy of NEWYORK.
isn’t mnik a veeroic effort ?
NAUMAN uncle bhi , ADII KUTTE ki tarha pagol ho gaye hai aur pagol KUTTE ki tarha BHUK raha hai . Please provide some BISCUITES & DOCTORS for MENTAL treatment .
HINA I love you .
Salman rocks and sure shot above average or semi hit movie.Plz watch veer again nd again.
@Hina instead of salman Rajib is also your great fan :)
ADII kutte , Amish miya , Nauman uncle & MEgha Darling ko ” VEER” ki success se alergy hai . Isliye woh log abhi tak neend main sapne dekh rahe hai .
salman has golden heart.
his price is 25 cr
veer budget=25cr price+45cr cost=70 cr
bt wen sallu knew tht DS is profitable bt producer is loosing money
thn he cut 15 cr frm his price
so he is getting 10 cr only
so veer budget bcome 50-55 cr
ADDII , kutte ki aulad ko ELECTRICAL SHOCK ki sakt jarurat hai . Warna hum logo ko bhi woh pagal kar dega . Please provide some MEDICINE for him .
