Salman Khan’s latest flick ‘Veer’, wherein he enacted the character of a Pindari warrior opposite newbie Zarine Khan, rocked the single screen theaters of Rajasthan, Delhi, Gujarat, UP, Bihar and fetched a handsome amount of Rs 19.50 crore in net over the weekend.

The corresponding amount for Salman Khan’s last super duper hit action flick ‘Wanted’ was only Rs 17.25 crore, which makes ‘Veer’ a better preposition at the box office.



Sources from Eros International, the distributor of the flick, say that ‘Veer’ has grossed Rs 32 crore in India alone on the weekend and the holiday on Republic day must have boosted the figures further.

Salman Khan’s latest film, which had been released with around 1300 prints in the country, also brought in Rs 9 crore from the overseas territories. The good news for Salman Khan, director Anil Sharma and producer Vijay Galani is that the flick is still going steady at the single screen theatres in almost all northern states of the country.

Salman Khan starrer ‘Veer’ had everything going for it to become hit with single screen audiences and it has proved to be true. In fact, the grandeur and scale of the sets had the audiences asking for more. Then, Salman Khan’s look was terrific in the film and his acting skills fully matched his handsome look.

However, the main factor which went in Salman Khan’s ‘Veer’ favor at single screen theatres was the superb action sequences that had been executed by action director Tinu Verma with finesse. Salman Khan’s fabulous physique added to the magic of action sequences.

‘Veer’ is a period flick set in the nineteenth century of British India. A Pindari warrior Veer sets out to take revenge on British and treacherous King of Madhavgarh played by Jackie Shroff. Sohail Khan plays Salman’s younger brother, while veteran Mithun Chakravarthy enacts the part of Salman Khan’s father in the film.
