Jai Ho

i would keep this review very short and simple .. JAI HO is so bad that that it makes movies like BODYGUARD seem very good.. one of SALMAN's worst movies .. i wonder how its considered a movie even..logic has gone for a complete toss in this movie.. imean just imagine this, an army officer driving an army tank on Mumbairoads(i mean seriously...):D. i cant understand of all the actresses why did he go for DAISY SHAH.. she is such a dumb.. music disappoints big time. much much more was expected.. the one thing good in this movie is that you will get to see many familiar faces on screen after a long span . my suggestion would be to avoid getting tortured in the hall. this one is worth giving a miss..

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.

I think Jai Ho is a great movie. Fights and etc are not feasible, but now I've finally got used to all of that in our cinema. But I have to admit, I am won over by Salman Khan this time around. I don't know why people have rated this movie a miserly 2.5 Star. Catch phrases are pretty silly, but well if you have Salman Khan in the movie frame that makes up for all the silliness around the movie. God if only his movies had the polish of SRK's or the depth of Aamir Khans, it would have been awesome. There was little scope for acting in such an action packed movie. I think people compare Salman to Aamir and SRK on a wrong parameter. Salman acts when he punches people, whereas Aamir and SRK hardly have all of that. His punches are usually in slow motion and he needs to constantly show that he is hitting the person to the best of his ability. Now try doing that a million times. Trust me, its difficult. I've tried doing it 10 times before writing this. so screw you haters!

This is awesome movie. One of the best movies directed by Sohail Khan. Must go and watch it. Action in the movie is remarkable. Its not just an action movie. It is giving some message to the public. Its not against political system it is giving message that some people are good in Political system and they are encouraging positive changes. 9/10 of 10 I recommend for this movie. People should go and watch this movie.On the top of that its message that if some body do good with you . You should help three other people rather than saying thank you to the person who did good deed with you. We can implement the same philosophy in the common society to encourage peace. Good Luck Salman Khan.

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
