Trailer for Salman Khan's Sword & Sandal epic VEER

It seems India has an answer to Conan or Gladiator with period epic Veer starring beefcake stud Salman Khan who consider this film as his long time dream project and touts it as the biggest Bollywood blockbuster event ever according to the blog site.  Of course, no sword & sandal epic would be complete without large scale battles, fierce sword-welding warriors and a romantic love interest and from what I seen in the trailer, it has all criteria covered down-pat.

From the misty pages of history comes a story of extreme valor, fierce pride and poignant love. As the British enslave India with their devious Divide and Rule policy, kings and nawabs fall to their guile and cunning, and entrust their precious kingdom to the foreigners. Except for the brave Pindaris, who prefer death to dishonour and will fight to their last breath to save their land.....their mother. The bravest, the toughest, the strongest of the Pindaris is Veer. As Veer takes on the might of the British Empire, he also has to fight the conniving King of Madavgarh as well his own jealous tribesmen. But then the stakes are high..... At stake is his love for princess Yashodhara, daughter of his sworn enemy... At stake is his thirst to avenge his father's dishonour..... At stake is his very existence itself..... Cannons roar, swords clash in fierce battle, the dead pile up.....And when the dust settles down on the blood soaked land...one valiant warrior stands head and shoulders above them all - Veer! Veer - an epic saga of bravery and drama, treachery and love....

The theatrical release date in India is January 22nd, 2010.  You'll find the trailer embedded below.
