In this forest of interesting costumes, characters, plot twists, stunts and dialog, anyone hunting for a dull moment will come back to town empty handed This isnt the film you go into taking seriously, however, it is entirely possible to do so granted the sincerity with which it was made.The setting is all at once an Ancient RomanMedievalRococo period containing knights in armor, stage coaches, ships with cannons, zippers, laz-y-boy living room sets, and huge, jeweled clip-on earrings adorning the ears of the men.Due to the historical nature there arent any motorized vehicles to be found, none of the English-mixed-in Bollyspeak, and in the opinion of one viewer it could have used a disco ball.Our songs include an anthem of bromance and friendship between the heroes Dharam and Veer as they ride their horses across field and stream, make breakfast by the creek, and tease a passing princess.
Next is a colorful arena-filling gypsy spectacular rife with sweeping leaping moves by a Veer in disguise, as one of our heroines kicks in the sand and some midgets poke a caged captive to the beat. Dharam interrupts a vain princess bath to carry her out to the woods and we get what was probably the worlds first bondage-fetish bollywood number. With all this wacky stuff to look at, some things would be needed to keep the film from being just an empty, hyper spectacle. For example, when Dharam is offered a set of armor during a jousting competition he says an iron body like mine has no need for such jewelry and when Prince Veer dramatically enters a room by crashing through a glass window, he gives a little speech to the villain about why he just did so Also preventing emptiness is the distinctness of all the characters, and even the most minor of them are lovable in a way that would inspire you to collect action figures and wear catchphrase t-shirts if such things had ever been made. Only after viewing Dharam-Veer multiple times and with various people have I developed a few criticisms to display in the course of this description. The first is Dharams short tunic outfits that make no rare item of Dharmendra Deols manly thighs. Constantly exposed by variations of a short, skirt-like garb, his legs have an unrelenting screen presence which could unnerve certain members of the audience. The second would be the matter of some rather crude special effects in the form of animations, dummies and showing things happening in the reverse. These moments are seemingly unnecessary and elevates the kitch factor of the entire venture to a point of mild embarrassment. There is also the matter of deficiency of songs and situations for the second pair of this features remarkable double romance. However, it seems as if these required scenes may have been cut for the sake of duration and it presents a stellar opportunity for you to spend some time writing fan fiction afterward. Dharam Veer 1977 Movie To WatchThis is a great movie to watch alongside friends and family and a must own for any Bollywood fan or collector of unusual films. In regard to DVDs Id recommend the Shemaroo release as some people have reported sound quality problems with others. After the phenomenal success of Dharam-veer, Producers repeated the Dharam-Jeetu Jodi in many films from then on; Burning train 1980, Saamrat 1982, Jaani doost 1983, Insaaf ki Pukar 1987 amongst a host of others. When Dharmendra pulls the arrow out of his mothers back, there is not even a drop of blood on it.
