Jai Ho

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.

Another year, another aam admi focused movie (in 2013 it was Singh Saab). It is difficult to talk about a Salman movie because lately he has been pretty much formulaic. All his movies are essentially Salaman playing himself along with improbable action, and stupid comedy- the audience though has been lapping it up, prompting a whole generation of solid actors go the Sallu way.

Salman plays Jai, essentially a do go-oder, a mathematical genius who can multiply up-to 3*3*3*3, (after that he needs help), an ex army-man with a heart of gold who likes to give bad guys an earful before ending their thankless existence. In today's times, think Somnath Bharti on steroids. Like a good old cowboy he strides around dishing punishments, cracking skulls, breaking bones and occasionally killing anyone who does not adhere to his definition of good, but reserves exceptional ferocity to goons who lays eyes on his family. Jai's eureka is to start a people's movement based on the concept of paying it forward when you do a good deed. But then Salman Khan is anything but aam, and there is very little of a people's movement in Jai Ho. It is a one man mission after all.

Jai Ho.

Jai takes quite a lot of damage it seems- stabbed, shot, bloodied, beaten black and blue, but then in a matter of seconds he proves that he is Salman Khan after all, when he tears off his shirt, and along with it disappears a knife that was apparently plunged deep in his back. The ludicrity reaches a whole new level when Sunil Shetty rolls in on a tank as Salman's wingman. Towards the end, all that Salman doesn't do is to don the chief minister's cap on his head. But that right belongs to another aam aadmi leader, right?

The dialogs are straight off a b grade TV serial, and the music jarring. Tabu and Danny lend a touch of class to an otherwise special appearance filled proceedings. Either the khans were flush with funds, or appearing in a Sallu movie is a major draw- anyone and everyone of Bollywood, including out of work actors such as Aditya Pancholi, Mohnish Bahl, Nauheed Cyrusi, Vatsal Seth, Ashmit Patel, Varun Badola, Yash Tonk appear in bit roles. Daisy Shah may be a Rani Mukherjee look alike but is the inconsequential sallu heroine. Even though she is in the pink of health (pun intended), and puts and dances as well as any, with zero screen presence, and screechy acting skills, we may have seen the last of her. Nukkad's Khopdi features here too, probably playing Khopdi- the drunk. Talk about stereotypes .

Can one person make a difference? The original plot is based on Mimi Ledger's excellent 2000 flick, Pay it Forward. Released on the eve of Republic Day, Jai Ho had the potential to be inspiring, pity though in the hands of a myopic director, it descends into a standard mas-ala movie with song, dance, cheap comedy and action.

Salman Khan the biggest Superstar in Bollywood nowadays gave an excellent performance in this movie... There was a very strong message for the people... And if bhaijaan lovers follow the message then there will be a lot of change for the good in the society.... I think everyone should see this movie to understand that a common man can make the difference if he wishes to...

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!

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.
