Story:
A
long drawn tale, the story is set on the backdrop of the British Raj
and while all kings and small rulers are snared by the British and
their kingdoms are taken, there is one clan who defy them. They are the
tribal clan of Pindaris who believe in death before dishonour and among
them is the fierce and brave warrior Veer (Salman). He stands against
the British Empire and not only that, he has obstacles in the form of
the Raja of Madhavgarh (Jackie), his own people, his love for princess
Yashodhara (zarine) who is the daughter of his enemy. Whether Veer is
successful in his battle or not forms the rest of the story. |
Presentation:
The
director has come up with a flimsy storyline and though the
presentation was good the narrative was weak. The script was spineless,
the screenplay was horrendous, the dialogues were alright. The saving
grace comes in the form of background score which is apt, two songs
which are neat, amazing cinematography and excellent action sequences.
Editing was required at many places, costumes were grand and art
department was majestic. Salman Khan did his best to infuse life into
the film but then his brand value alone could not suffice, Zarine Khan
was straight faced but she is beautiful, Jackie Shroff was good, Mithun
was okay, Sohail Khan was below average, Neena Gupta was regular, Puru
Rajkumar doesn't get much chance, the other foreign actors were
plastic.

Conclusion:
The
makers have come up with a mix of many Hollywood movies which are
warrior based and mixed it with the desi elements to give the nativity
feel. While the opening takes off brilliantly, the film starts
collapsing as time passes. By interval, it is gone. The second half
adds to the woes of the viewers with dragged sentiments and overdose of
climax. Overall, the film scores on the technical aspects and
production values but it fails miserably due to lack of a systematic
story and poor writing. Given the budget, it is hard for the film to
survive at the box office.
Bharatstudent Verdict: Weak and dragging, only efforts can be appreciated. |
