Veer

Veer (Salman Khan) is a warrior from the brave Pindari tribe that is said to have sowed the seeds of the struggle for freedom in the late 1800s. He falls in love with Yashodhara (Zarine Khan), daughter of a king who has betrayed the Pindaris and aligned with the British (Jackie Shroff). The tribe actually manages to send Veer with his younger brother (Sohail Khan) to London(!) to find out how the British psyche works (!!), and lo and behold, Veer encounters the enemy king there (with whom his father has to settle scores). Veer’s love clashes with his loyalty to his clan, and so does the girl’s feelings for him. The second half sees scores being settled, the romance blossoming and intrigue and emotions coming to the boil in every sense as the issues go beyond internal feuds to the bigger one of throwing off the British yoke.Salman Khan’s story had potential, but suffers because it tries to be a love story, a freedom fighter saga and a right-versus-wrong action spectacle all at the same time, and the script unfortunately cannot rise to the occasion. It focusses too less on issues that are relevant today like our disunity and wastes footage on lesser issues and a lot of cliches.
