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.

This film focuses on British rule in India and British alliances with Indian royalty. I'll start of with the performances. Salman Khan does his bit with typical macho swagger - his role is perfect for him. Newcomer Zarine Khan is good in her role, but I think that she could do a little better should she get a role allowing her to do so in the future. Mithun Chakraborty is good along with Sohail Khan in supporting roles, as is Jackie Shroff in his negative role. The story of the film is good and Salman Khan deserves credit for writing it. The story keeps you engaged and you may feel an unusual feeling once it is finished since you were absorbed in the goings on in the movie for just over 2 hours and a half. The music is great. Sajid-Wajid have done a great job. The two tracks that stand out are 'salaam aaya' and 'taali'. The action is also great.Overall: definitely watch it. I give it 8/10.

Salman khan is the writer of this movie & this time he Disappoints me. the story is set up in the era when British ruled India & the Indians wanted British to go back & leave India independent. the films starts well but in between looses the control.the script is a mix of many movies or novels.. Xenia,Mangal Panday,troy & some older stories from India...Salman Khan what is wrong with you...Mr Veer jokes,gets funny,gets angry in a second,falls in love with Zarine Khan(the fat princess). Mithun was over acting as usual,Zarine was cool,Jackie Shroff was trying too hard to be a bad guy but failing... the soundtrack of the movie is amazing...Ill give this movie 5/10...i hope Salman Khan realizes his mistake & let this be a lesson for those who jumps to make a movie without proper plan.

Five things about Veer are actually good, even very good: Jackie Shroff, Mithun Chakraborthy, the music, the visuals, and the basic idea. And that's about where it ends. I won't even start listing those things that are bad...Apparently, Veer was meant to become The Salman Khan Movie To End All Salman Khan Movies. Salman himself is responsible for the story, which supposedly took him no less than twenty years. The result proves that whatever one may think about Sallu, story-writing is definitely Not His Thing. It should be said, the first 30 minutes of the movie are promising and evoke high expectations, but all the rest is just one big and rather tasteless ego-trip. To such a degree that you can't even say this movie is about Veer at all... no, it is about Salman: Salman dressed up as a Pindari, Salman dressed up as an English gentleman, Salman dressed up as a gladiator, Salman dressed up as Highlander, Salman dressed up as an Indian prince, and of course, Salman in his trademark outfit, his naked muscled chest. The story appears to be completely subordinated to Salman, his poses and his costumes.The role of princess Yashodhara was obviously meant to be played by Salman's fiancée, but because Katrina had other obligations, he had to find replacement. And so he picked a débutante as his heroine, whose only asset appears to be a certain physical similarity to La Kaif. Mistake number 2, because "Zatrina" quite clearly lacks the talent, the acting skills and the charisma to pull off this one. Her screen presence irritates from the first to the last scene, even though the role wasn't a particularly challenging one anyway. In fact, the film would have been a lot better off without the whole obligatory love story, annoying even for Bollywood standards.Watching this movie, I got the impression that Salman hoped to create his own "Jodhaa Akbar" or "The Rising". But all he managed was creating his own "Dharam Veer" - without Dharam to that! Manmohan Desai's "Dharam Veer" is at least funny and absurd, however, Salman's Veer is not funny at all. If he would at least have added some humor the Veer character, things might have turned out differently, because Salman happens to a good comedian from time to time. But instead, he left the comedy bits to his brother Sohail who, although not a bad actor himself, is notoriously bad at comedy. And thus, the movie that was supposed to showcase all Salman's abilities as an actor, turns out more successful at showcasing his limitations. The feeling that remains is that this movie deserved to become something much better than it actually became: a major disappointment.
