Veer Box Office – Salman ‘Flop’ Khan Fails Again

When it comes to Bollywood star Salman Khan, the transaction course is clearly mapped out in advance – Trash for Cash.

Salman’s trash for your cash.

Trash.Guaranteed, when it comes to Salman ‘flop‘ Khan’s movies.

Trash, Redux
Folks, true to form Salman Khan delivers another dud in Veer.

What’s new, eh?

A lengthy bore, Veer is yet another Bollywood movie that ought not to have ever been made. The very idea should have been consigned to the trash-bin.

Alas, tis’ a cruel world we live in and, instead, we’re subjected to a mind-numbing 2 hours and 35-minutes of one of the dullest movies we ever watched on the big screen.

Pindaris – A Bheekari Story
Set in the late 19th century, Veer centers around the warrior clan of Pindaris who were supposedly a force to reckon with in parts of North India.

Veer (Salman Khan) is the son of a Pindari chieftain Prithvi (yesteryear disco dancer Mithun Chakravarthy), who was once treacherously deceived by the local King of Madhavgarh.

A treachery that cost the Pindaris the lives of 4,500 of their brave ones and the evil King his right arm.

Veer Box Office – Salman ‘Flop’ Khan Fails Again

Veer Review – Trash for Cash

Folks, a new Salman Khan movie has debuted and true to form this one too is utter garbage if you go by the critics.

Here’s what a sample of critics has to say on Salman’s Veer, which released in theatres today:

NDTV:

Veer…doesn’t weave it together with enough imagination or panache. This mega-scale love story has patches of power but mostly veers between being ridiculous and plain boring.

IndiaTimes:

You have to be a braveheart to watch Veer.

India FM:

Salman Khan [who has been credited as the story writer of VEER] takes TARAS BULBA, adds GLADIATOR, CONAN THE BARBARIAN, TROY, TITANIC and even KRANTI [the end is a straight lift of Manoj Kumar's Dilip Kumar starrer] and comes up with this khichdi which gets unpalatable after a point.

Entertainment and Showbiz:

Veer has everything…high budget, big stars, good camera works, well designed costumes. But it missed the main thing…Story!

Rediff:

Salim Khan, one of our most iconic screenwriters, deserves a better tribute than son Salman, credited for the film’s story, churning out this unbelievably hackneyed period disaster.

Director Anil Sharma has never been known for his subtlety, and here, sinking his teeth into the painfully melodramatic script, he goes at it hammer and tongs, taking one megabudget misstep after another.
