In the second installment whether it’s Akshay Kumar’s ‘ayye’ background soundtrack that plays whenever he appears on the screen or John Abraham trying to do comedy by acting effeminately, it’s painful to sit through the films where even the actors seems genuinely confused.

The series tries hard to be a situational comedy but the jokes are so lame and juvenile that if you were convinced to laugh at them at least once then it’s a given that your comical sense are not fully developed yet. People in India or Indians around the world go to the movies as a tradition every weekend and they pick a film whichever manages to grab their attention the most. But who is to decide that his films are actually loved and enjoyed by people.

The resident crass comedy king of Bollywood Sajid Khan doesn’t give a hoot about what the critics has to say about his films as long as the audiences approve of them. He managed to bring together some big names in Bollywood such as Salman Khan, Mithun Chakraborty and Jackie Shroff but was clueless as to how to use them properly in the narrative which was full of potholes to put it mildly. Director Anil Sharma of ‘Gadar: Ek Prem Katha’ fame was clearly not in his element while making the film. ‘Veer’ was designed as a historical epic based on the Pindari movement of Rajasthan, India but it is neither fully engaging nor logical or grand enough to at least appreciate its efforts.

His look in the film reminds us of another of his disastrous turn in ‘Suryavanshi’ in the early 90s. ‘Veer’ is a complete torture package for your senses with added bonus in the form of the leading lady Zarine Khan’s extra body weight and Salman’s long hair. This Salman Khan starrer released in the pre ‘Dabbang’ era which means that the mere presence of Khan in a movie was not enough to set the cash registers ringing and rightfully so.
