Jai Ho

Jai Ho is a remake of 2006 telugu film Stalin.Salman returns to the screen after 13 months,longest gap between his two films ever in his career.So expectations were sky high from this film.Also the film is based on a social issue,which is one of the concerns of todays people in India.So does it live up to its expectations,lets find out: Direction and Cinematography:Sohail Khan did'nt changed much from the telugu film Stalin(i have also watched that),which reduced his workload.But still he does an OK job with Jai Ho and you never loose your grip from the film apart from few here and there moments.Jai Ho is shot in mumbai,and the locations used are good.The camera work is good.The production design is not at par with films like Ek Tha Tiger and Dhoom 3 but is also not bad.

Performances:Salman Khan does'nt performs Jai Agnihotri,he lives his character on the screen.He is just brilliant in the action scenes.tabbu supports Salman well.She is very good.Other actors like Yash Tonk and Ashmit Patel supports him as well.Pulkit Samrat (the fukrey star) is good as a cop.Daisy Shah does'nt looks pretty but dances well,she does an OK job.Danny is good as villain.Sana Khan is OK as spoiled girl,Mahesh Manjrekar is also good.Haroon Qazi (Danny's son in the film) looks muscular and gives good screen presence.

Music:Music of Jai Ho is pretty average.Sajid Wajid are not able to repeat their work of Dabangg and Dabangg 2.Baaki sab first class and Photocopy are catchy,while Tumko to aana hi tha is the best in the album.

POSITIVES:The biggest plus point of Jai Ho is its action sequences which are well build up and Salman excels in those.He also roars and bites like a tiger which is a fresh concept i think.Some comedy is also there in the film which will be liked by the audience for sure.The kid Naman is excellent in his role.The simplistic and noble storyline will be very much liked and some small instances of social work will be liked.

NEGATIVES:The noble storyline will be liked no doubt but can also be hated because it will not provide that much entertainment which you are used to see in films like Wanted and Dabangg.Also Daisy Shah's introduction dance sequence is total waste off.Music may not be liked by many.

So on the whole Jai Ho is a typical salman film mixed with some social elements. My rating:6/10

Well this was expected... Lots of songs, mostly had no relevance what so ever. God knows when will Indian film industry will understand its of no use to waste money on songs that are completely irrelevant.

it was a pleasure watching Tabu on screen... Superb acting Salman... Great acting again, his character is also strong but the problem lies with direction. I mean, what was Sohail doing, what the hell were creative directors doing.at some places movie looked great but for most of the part movie was a huge let down and it was not acting but direction if you are a Salman fan and like movie with social message, you'll love it... Else you may come out cribbing

A man stands up against political grandstanding and corruption after the collateral damages of a maligned system disturbs him to core.

Made for big theater viewing, out and out entertainment and this one, a better deal, concept of the decade

India needed to see the corrupt politicians beaten up. And some one had to show the collateral damage of our corrupt system and no one better than the greatest star of Indian film

The miracle named Salman Prevails! There were some technical glitch, in particular handling a troop of good actors and even managing the peripheral actors, Sohail Khan totally fails as a director.

A band-wagon of rejected and long lost actors, a never ending list

And the concept of the decade, a very clean and clear message. Salman Rocks. Full-time entertainment, brilliant action sequences. The Thana Fight was absolute goosebumps.

Daisy Shah is made for the stage. Promising, but has a long way to go though. Sana Khan was given a deserving vamp's role ;).

The script was prepared well but managed badly, the director perhaps has no understanding of where to say cut and where to demand a better shot from his actors. Saved by a troop of Stalwarts and the "Ultimate Mega Star"

3 things which were total let down, the first 15 minutes better than Chennai Express but better director could have done better, the tank to the hospital, the fluctuating emotions

Salman Rocks! Jai Ho!

Well to begin with its a remake of the south Indian movie Stalin... Its much better remake. It has lots of action...lots mean a lot...the regular salman stuff packaged with more energy. Comedy is also quite good specially the little kid's comedy is pretty cute one. At starting I thought it will be same Salman stuffs like dabang,bodyguard etc...but after 20 minutes its getting interesting...The comedy scenes were pictured perfectly...At least you can laugh loud...The dialogues were good,energetic and AAM AADMI DIALOGUE worked like a magical spell which we had seen in some Harry potter movies...Songs are okay not much but OK. Story is also good. Overall a good package this weekend... Definitely a better movie from Salman than its previous one's. Also this movie will inspire you if want to be inspired... If you are a Salman fan please donot thing for a second just go for it and if you are not then also go for it as it is really a good movie. At least give it a one watch...

A court-martialed soldier tries to change society by his "don't-thank- but-help-three-people-formula" which rubs several people on the wrong side and hence faces heat from a highly placed political power.

Jai-Ho cannot be classified in either the "leave your brains out" or "take you brains in" category because the crux is very thoughtful while execution is flickered. What should have a serious movie with lasting impact has turned out into nothing more than a pot-boiler thereby losing the purpose of the plot.

As usual Salman Khan punches, smashes, bashes, bites (yes he indeed does) and above all screams as if he had a lion-casserole for breakfast. With a button popping shirt, funny coloured eye gears he has his fans on nimble feet but not everyone feels that way.

The action sequences are typical Salman. Every raging goonda falls like a domino in front of him and not even one has audacity to carry a gun much less use it. The bad guys are not the only weakling but also the doors and walls. Salman in most scenes breaks the door instead of opening it. After 130 minutes of fasting the shirt finally comes off.

But the film has its moments. The chain of events that Jai (Salman) starts comes around a full circle and ultimately saves his own life. Just when we were able to appreciate the beauty of it, an army tank comes in the middle of traffic cutting off the hero from the bad guys to save his life. This is what I mentioned earlier about take or leave your brains.

Daisy shah is a brilliant dancer not so much a scope for acting (What else to expect in an action movie). Tabu charms the screen with her silent-yet-deep presence. Songs are a letdown and in the flow of the movie they are misplaced and mistimed. The movie would have been better off without it.

There are umpteen logical flaws but by this time you would have pasted a critic label on my forehead and hence I will leave it your better judgement if whether, they are or not logical flaws.

Good theme but not so good of an execution.
