Veer

Words and phrases like “epic love story”, “sworn enemy”, vengeance and “high stakes” are thrown around by the dozen in the official website description of Veer.

And indeed, it is epic, with battles to rival Gladiator, and scenery that screensavers are made of. Oh, and did I mention a shirtless, six-pack bearing Salman Khan, who plays Veer? In battle? Mhh-hmm. For the guys, the debut of the gorgeous Zarine Khan as the princess who Veer falls ridiculously in love with should suffice.

Besides the love story, the script also offers up a dash of vengeance against the British Empire, led by Veer, the strongest of the Pindaris. A solid Bollywood offering that should blow the competition out of the water – at least for a while.

Rating: 4 outta 5.
