An Anil Sharma film, Veer, starring Salman Khan, Mithun Chakraborty, Jackie Shroff and debutant Zarine Khan released across cinemas worldwide on 22nd January 2010. The film released 1,300 prints and in digital cinemas all over India and a further 236 prints overseas.
A spectacular treat for Salman fans, Veer has emerged a high grosser in circuits such as Rajasthan, Delhi/UP, Bihar, Gujarat etc. with single screens doing good business over the weekend, again demonstrating Salman Khans power to connect with the masses.
Nandu Ahuja, SVP, India Distribution, Eros International Media Ltd said, Audience reactions to Veer have been extremely heartening. With Salmans huge fan base in India and overseas, we were confident that Veer would be a huge draw. With the opening weekend followed by the Republic Day holiday teamed with Salmans star power, we are looking forward to the films positive run at the box office.
Veer is a saga of bravery and drama, treachery and love. Set in the nineteenth century, this is the story of a warrior clan, the Pindharis, who become sworn enemies with the King of Madhavgarh, Rajasthan after the latter betrays them, joining hands with the British for a full-blooded Pindhari slaughter. The bravest, the toughest, the strongest of the Pindharis is Veer who takes on the might of the British Empire, the conniving King of Madhavgarh as well as his own jealous tribesmen. Veer is a period drama with romance and action thrown in.
The movie is distributed globally by Eros International.
Looks like Salman Khan has touched a chord with the masses once again!
