Jai Ho! Critique: 5.6 Salman Fan: 8.2

[raja-mishra7 · 6/10 · 25 January 2014]

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!

Salman Ki "Jai Ho"

[user-603-543245 · 6/10 · 25 January 2014]

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

dhamakabd Critic to Jai ho

[dhamakabdmovie · 4/10 · 29 January 2014]

In "Jai Ho", the new action-drama-cum human message movie starring Salman Khan,seems to be successful among who loves the theory of mango people . As a media graduate my opinion about the movie in short is , to create a mass media production to spread awareness like the message of helping 3 person instead of just saying thanks .So , there is nothing much to critic about the story line . I appreciate the message . Technical Side: poor cinematography : just like another daily soap poor back ground score : copy casting sing ham music , soap style essence Poor makeup : specially over dose for a natural beauty , Tabu ,Sal-man Poor Casting : too many star appearance for no special purpose but promoting mango people theory . Poor comedy : comedy dialogue,specially the kid actor , poor script : to convey the message there should be some grammatically interesting story poor action : there were few scenes with good effort but conflicts with one man show type of movie However hope this might help considering bollywood movie industry value and its reputation ,while now a days Bollywood is backing lots of good movies , we must not destroy the reputation

had the potential to be inspiring, but became mas-ala

[achyutaghosh · 25 January 2014]

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.

Really, Salman !?!?

[joy-facebook-916-961624 · 1/10 · 5 February 2014]

Just happened to watch 'Jai Ho' out of boredom, and also to check out the hype around Salman Khan!

The plot is a re-run of multitude of Bollywood movies. Don't these Bollywood guys watch any Hollywood movies, (some of which have quite original themes, storyline and plots)!? Even if the subject is old, the Hollywood treatment is at least better than our Bolly friends. The direction is hopeless, so is the editing. The movie makers have just focused on Salman, and forgotten the rest of the movie altogether, including the editing,the screenplay, the story.....

The action in the movie was predictable, Superman Batman Spiderman (strike that) Hulk.... all combined into Salman Khan. Somewhere during the movie Salman is shot and stabbed, and later he had to be taken to the hospital. I don't understand how is that possible!? Never seen Hulk or Superman bothered with such human physical responses.

Yup, thats right, Salman punches the bonnet (hood) of a car, and the dickey (boot) of the car opens up. And the cast of the movie is a medley of all flop/out-of-job sidekicks of bollywood, who were perhaps jobless and were looking to make ends meet, and were ready to work for a free lunch (except Danny, I really respect that guy.) Somehow I feel the vamp lady was prettier and a better actor than the heroine (female lead).

Salman has two side-kicks in this movie. My wife says he should instead have kept Sohail Khan and Arbaaz Khan, his brothers, in the movie so some money could be saved. Besides, it wouldn't have made any difference to the movie or the plot anyway.

Please do not thank me for this review, instead pass it on to three people, and ask them to pass it on three more people each........ this way you will create a chain of community service, and save countless productive hours of the nation.

Jai Ho ! (oh sorry, Jai Hind!)

ONLY for Brain-Dead !!

[sachkitaalash · 1/10 · 28 January 2014]

One small Message--Don't say THANK U...Help 3 people and tell them to Help 3 people...BUT WHY does Sohail Khan Has to waste 3 hours of mine to tell this dialogue 30 times and mention the word "JAI" over 100 times for full 3 HOURS !! Sohail is almost as worse than Rohit Shetty, in the "Out of the whole UNIVERSE" kind of stunts with cars..bricks..iron pillars..Humans..almost everything being thrown.. left right and center with just a punch from the Master of the Universe...Mr. SALMAN KHAN..Jai HO !! Humans trying to take Panga with SAL-MAN (aka SUPER-MAN)..don't ever forget HE is not from this planet. Well thats the story in short or the complete story either way !!. But the Icing are the Casts of the Film...its like all B-grade actors you could ever think of in bollywood..all coming together to stand behind the Master of the Universe..SALL-MAN and chanting...JAI HO (Besides laughing, singing gujrati, dancing and even crying the moment the Master does the same) !! and lastly Daisy Shah..who is just a poor copy of Rani Mukherjee..WHO ?WHY ? WHAT? A must watch for all those in COMA or suffering from various neurological..psychological conditions..This movie might just CURE your condition...JAI HOoo !!

Action,comedy,a bit Romance and all usual Salman Stuffs

[mayankmax007 · 7/10 · 24 January 2014]

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...

for the MENTAL by the MENTAL

[shubhamkat-ever · 1/10 · 26 January 2014]

Jai ho previously titles Mental is well yet another Salman movie, if you have any hope that this may be something different,then its not.

will it be the liked by Salman's fan,sure why not(it has mandatory shirtless Salman scene in the end,mindless action scenes and what not). but as a cinema its a sure crap..

i am not able to give away anything from the movie as it has no story,no plot,or anything. this movie makes a social issue look like a messed up joke. i am no critic but can say this is a terrible movie in every department. so take my word spare yourself from this utter crap. my rating is of course 1 star as it is enough for this thing.

Help 3 People:Best Salman Khan Movie.

[furquan592 · 8/10 · 26 January 2014]

Well! from a Salman khan movie,one can't except much because all of his movies result into another bollywood crap and in comparison of his movies one is more awful and pathetic from the other.But surprisingly this time he comes with a massage. Though this movie contains also the usual bollywood idiocies but the reason I'm rating it so high is it's massage:help someone and when he or she will thank you,instead of accepting his or her thanks ask him or her to help another 3 persons. This will result into a chain and massage will prevail,hence truth,virtue and goodness will spread with multiple effect.

As always Salman Khan's acting is awful.But somehow he is charismatic and has huge fan following.That's why his movies work.

Watch it only for the massage.

salman & tabu great job... sohail complete fail

[sunitjindal · 7/10 · 28 January 2014]

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

Another example of nonsense

[suri1011 · 1/10 · 23 January 2014]

Well well well another Sallu bhai flick. The major points for a Sallu blockbuster: 1) An actress who is the age of Sallu's daughter... Check

2) Billions of supporting characters who have no use... Check

3) Illogical songs by Sajid-Wajid... Check

4) Action+Family Drama+Unnecessary romance... Check

5) Villains... Check

6) Good fight sequences... Check

7) Duration not more than 140 minutes... Check

8) Promotion in every possible manner... Check

9) Some Salman Khan followers in the cast... Check

10) An overall disappointment... Double Check

I don't recommend this film at all. Only DIE HARD Sallu fans may find it interestin

Jai Ho! Rocks!

[kumar-neelesh1996 · 8/10 · 25 January 2014]

2010 marked the turning point for Salman's career, when his film Dabangg arrived. It created a nationwide sensation. First for his different character and second for Munni Badnaam. Since then, he has created a huge fan-base and each time his film becomes a Blockbuster, in spite being a dud(say Bodygaurd and Ready).

Well, after 13 months, his new film 'Jai Ho!' has hit the screens and I would like to say that it is his best film till date. I have very less expectations from his movies as his films don't have a proper story line. But 'Jai Ho!' excels. It has a great plot with a well-intentioned message.

Coming to the plot, Jai Agnihotri (Salman) is a decorated ex-army officer who gets suspended for disobeying his senior's orders during a counter strike. Since then, he has become People's Man. His idea is to help 3 people and tell them to help 3 more, and so on creating a chain. The basic plot is brought from telugu movie Stalin, which is itself a remake of Hollywood film Pay It Forward.

The performances from the lead is from Great to average. Salman roars in 'Jai Ho!' He will make you whistle. The Police station fight sequence, his at minister's office act and the climax will bring you goosebumps for sure. He has proved himself that he can deal a serious role really well. Tabu, as Jai's sister is good. Her encounter with Danny is noteworthy. Daisy Shah doesn't get much scope but is a great dancer. Danny, the corrupt minister is efficient. A special mention to Naman Jain, as Jai's nephew, will make you laugh every time he is on screen. Genelia is good in a brief role.

Sohail Khan has done his job well but it could have been better. A little more care on the execution would have been perfect. Screenplay is tight. Action sequences are great and will bring whistles. The only letdown has been the Music.

On the whole, 'Jai Ho!' rises above expectations and is a great entertainer. It is a must watch, even if you aren't a Salman fan, go as an Indian. You'll love it. It has a message. And yes it is true that One Man can make a difference. JAI HO! Rocks!

One of the best social action movies in recent times- I don't mind leaving my brains at home, as long as the heart is in the right place

[chiragdashj · 7/10 · 28 January 2014]

I cannot believe i would be reviewing a Salman Khan movie but it's certainly worth it. Neither am i a fan of illogical commercial movies nor a die hard Salman fan. Probably i must say i have no soft corners for Salman Khan for the work he has done in his real life. Probably, I am a Salman Hater and i consider the Being Human initiative of Salman Khan rather as his discount for his sins. I confess that i also hate Big Boss. But I promise you my review will be unbiased and strictly on my personal opinion, which may not match with others.

Decided to watch Jai Ho reluctantly, purely on word of mouth basis as i didn't wanted to be tortured as i was in Dhoom 3 or any of the previous Salman movies. The trailer didn't impress me neither did the songs and the director being Sohail Khan, it was a complete no, no for me. I was quiet surprised this movie getting such low collections as in India movie runs because of star power and not because of content, and that's what got my attention. It was strange as for the first time in so many years a commercial movie having good audience reactions didn't clicked at the box office as expected.

So, decided to explore what went wrong and here is my review of Jai Ho.

Jai Ho directed by Sohail Khan as we know is yet another Telugu remake of Stalin. Jai Ho is Salman Khan style of making a movie and delivering a social message in style. From the beginning itself Jai Ho enters into pacey mode thanks to the brilliant screenplay which hides most drawbacks and over the top scenes in the first half. The first half of the movie is brisk and emotional too. Salman as an actor has his drawbacks in the emotional scenes but not when he roars as a tiger and take down the local goons in style in his own way. Genelia D Souza performs the role of a lifetime by playing a character of a handicapped girl superbly in an short and emotional role, that was the best part of the movie, which leaves you emotional even after the movie is over.Tabu as Salman's sister is bang on. In first half Salman bashes the bad guys in style, and the action scenes were superb not like his previous movies. There were almost 3 songs in first 15 minutes but it was OK as long as other things are good. Daisy Shah the new comer showed her dancing skills more than her acting ones. When it comes to the chemistry with Salman, they struggled, but the child artist Naman Jain completely made up for Salman by creating a sparkling chemistry with his ma mu (Jai) and Daisy Shah with his superb comic timing. When Salman was not busy with his roaring, Naman Jain was busy teasing Pinky(Daisy Shah). The first half was sleek, quick, brisk, emotional, superb. The 2nd half of the movie was also not bad, and the idea of Jai starting a chain of not to say Thank You and instead help 3 people and ask them to help 3 more people worked aptly as it was told with the right heart. There are a whole lot of actors in the movie, probably Sohail Khan has casted every one he knows in the movie. But all of them have done a decent job. The chase sequence where Salman saved the child was executed brilliantly along with the war flashbacks. Action scenes were really good and who better than Salman can pull them off without flexing a bone. The only problem i thought was the climax of the movie where the director was in a hurry to end the movie, but we wanted more. And the whole tank thing where Sunil Shetty comes right away from Border and LOC Kargil movie to help Salman could have been a Little bit better. But, flaws like these are pardonable as there are so many other things which are good.

Probably Salman wanted to make a film on society so he chooses Jai Ho, and he showcases it in his own style. You cannot stop whistling and clapping for him when he roars like a tiger and beats the hell out of the goons. Jai Ho has a good script in it's place. A more sensible director could have given a better output but this script is made for Salman Khan and he delivers. I remember watching Singham where Ajay Devgan was fantastic and so is Jai Ho, It's the best Salman Khan movie after Wanted so don't miss Jai Ho. Box Office Collection not as expected but hope it speeds up by word of mouth publicity..Salman delivers a social message in style so this movie restores my faith on good commercial movies. It's not completely without flaws but, it's the best i enjoyed in cinema in recent times. Watch it and have a blast... So, I never mind leaving my brains at home as long as the heart is in the right place. JAI HO...

"Jai Ho" proves that, a movie promising to deliver a social message can actually be a pure crap......!!!!

[akkighost9 · 1/10 · 24 January 2014]

1st half of the movie is like a bunch of TV adds with social messages, which tries to motivate us but fails miserably.... In the 2nd half it's more of an masala movie but neither anything new nor entertaining.... The movie is actually a total mess trying to adopt both social message theme & masala genre. There are few comic scenes, in fact a single comic scene which tries to make us laugh through out the movie, is good at first but becomes repetitive... There is no connection between the social theme and action scenes shown in the movie... some action sequences are good where as some are pathetic..

In terms of acting, there are a lot of actors but none of them actually leaves a mark.. The child artist( son of Tabu) is the only one to leave his mark...It's like The movie is crowded with actors but all you can hear is only noise..

Direction of the movie is pathetic and Sohail Khan should retire from direction...It could have been a good movie but Sohail ruined it completely....!!

Cinematography is good and camera work is good too and does it's best work promote as much brand as possible...!!

Songs are kind of OK, but the placements of the songs are horrible and actually it bores u more than it entertains...

On the whole it's one of the worst movies i have ever seen and in the promise of delivering a social message it's a sore bore....!!

1/10 for me...........

P.S- Don't waste your money & time watching this movie.. Neither you will be entertained nor will receive any message...!!!

Good concept...!!! Worst Execution....

[mazumdar-abhilash1993 · 3/10 · 29 January 2014]

Jai Ho directed by not so talented Sohail Khan is a story of an ex-army officer who fight with every social evil alone.Even with thousand of people.. Jai Ho is a remake of Tollywood film Stalin which itself was a remake of Pay It Forward.. The thinking and the concept is good but the premise of the film and the execution is just terrible.. Potential of a good movie is made a trash. Story credits are given to A.R. Murugadoss and there is no story but only action and action and action... Screenplay by Dilip Shukla is very bad . He seriously needs some lessons. Dialogues are okay and the action is good but overall it is pathetic.. In the last scene Suniel Shetty takes a tank and droves it in the city. How can it be possible.No logic at all..

Acting: Salman Khan doesn't know how to act and we all know that, but in this film he is okay. Tabu is just okay, Daisy Shah has nothing to do she is average, Pulkit is good, Sana Khan is a crap, Mohnish Belh is good. But the child Naman Jain as Kabir is flawless, he is really good.. Rest of the cast is terrible

Direction : We know Sohail Khan has precisely no talent at all. But he has directed Pyaar Kiya to Darna Kya which was good and that made me watch the film but this is not direction although Action scenes are good but the credits for that should go the Action Director.. Sohail Khan is just Hopeless ..

And the dialogue used in the movie" Thanks mat bolo instead 3 logo ki help karo" is used about 20 times which is utterly annoying .. Please guyzz have some logic .. IMDb should see how can this film be rated nearly 7 its not even near 4.. Watch it at your own risk and money....

a movie driven by only a message! terrible

[jay982442 · 1/10 · 29 January 2014]

Salman was never a good actor, nor a superstar. He is just an over rated actor with almost no acting skills. Talking about jai ho...I got the message form the movie and applying it in real, PLEASE DON'T WATCH JAI HO! In whole movie, this one line "If you think we did a favor, don't thank us...instead help other 3 people." This dialog has been through out this film around 10-12 times. And this became so annoying to all the audiences present at the theater. One after one, the non-sense little stories were playing. The movie's aim was to spread the message among people, so where there is the need of item songs, romance, stupid flat falling comedy? The best thing about the movie is, it ends.

Awesome

[osamailm3 · 25 January 2014]

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.

Sohail can make better movies then Arbaz

[anupapu8 · 6/10 · 24 January 2014]

Jai Ho - A Salmaan khan movie,,,,.... Indian audience doesn't really need reviews for Salmaan khan movies,,,,anyways they are gonna watch movie having Salmaan khan,,,,special mention to the gap between Dabang 2 and Jai Ho - really long 13 years,,,,even i too started waiting for Salmaan's next movie..... But seriously Salmaan have became nightmare for review writers,,,,after all criticism ,, all of Salmaan's movie have worked well.... M not a big fan of Salmaan ,,, but actually its not Salmaan whom o hate,,,,its actually the type of movies he select i don't like......And also the trend he started of Masala movies is really dragging down the test of Bollywood audience.... But , but , but Jai ho is a welcome movie from Salmaan,,,,.... Firstly i would like to mention there are a lot (by a lot i mean a lot) of actors who have done very small role in the movie which could be easily done by any other small actor ,,, some of the names are Sharad Kapoor, Mukul Dev, Vatsal Seth, Ashmit Patel, Aditya Pancholi, Pulkit Samrat, Tulip Joshi, Varun Badola, Yash Tonk and Bruna Abdullah....... Even Sunil Shethy have done a really small role in the movie,,,i don't know why..... So i will not tall about the actors much,,,,Tabu has been good,,,,although it hurts too much watching her in a side role,,but she really does good,,,,,daisy shah can dance well,,,,but we need to watch her acting skills in some other movie,,,,,Dany doesn't get much scope too,,,,,because if you have Salman in the movie how could you get a sufficient screen time,,,,,....... What to say about Salmaan,,,,he just acted like he does always..... Very good in action scenes ,, almost good in comic scenes (not good as PARTNER) and not so good in the songs...... Special mention for the little boy Namaan who acted as Tabu's son,, acted really well,,,,and make u smile a lot..... About the songs they are really unsituational,,,,which is actually a shocking thing for such movies,,,,,,but for the choreography ,, i don't know whether the dance steps are awkward or Salmaan is unable to do them because they really look bad....... But we have the usual problem with this genre,,,,,a predictable plot- Comic scene , songs , fight scene and then again comic scene and this goes on,,,,,but this time we have a good theme is the movie,,,,which shows that writing section has done a small job (although the Story has been totally copied from the south Indian movie STALIN),,,,....The movie sometimes feel like an extension to Salmaan's Being Human,,,,that Salmaan wants to show how much he cares about others,,,,which is actually a good thing,,,,but it totally works..........Execution was good but could easily have been done better..... At last i know this review is a waste for Salmaan khan fan but this could give u an overview,,,,because i enjoyed the movies,,,,its totally better then ready , bodyguard , Ek Tha Tiger and Dabang 2 ,, thanks to crisp editing which doesn't' allow you to get bore if you leave bore songs..... 3.5 out of 5 By ANuP APu KuMaR -

Disaster!

[oblivionv-905-222642 · 1/10 · 23 January 2014]

This is an absolute nonsense of a movie with no creativity or substance. I couldn't ever bear this flick till the interval. I walked out of the cinema. The lone intention of the producer and the director seems to be money making in the name of Salman Khan. Here is the theme guys, Salman is a one man army against all things bad in the society. As always, he beats up goons and does good to people and all that stuff. B grade cinematography along with low class jokes and poor acting only dents the movie further which already suffers because of a terrible script and the predictable story line. Do not waste your money on this. Watch it at your own peril.

A Blockbuster on the card

[sabibadakkan · 10/10 · 23 January 2014]

Jai Ho movie is a must watch because This is a mass film which deal with Socail Issues. Making these type of films will make the social awareness to reach maximum people. I remember once Salman Khan told that he acted in a movie Phir Milenge that no one watched because it was treated as an art movie.. So he decided to make movies with messages & social elements through Mass appeal. This will make u reach out maximum number of people. Jai Ho is one of that kind of movie. It has all Salman Khan elements + very very amazing scenes that will make u cry. After watching this movie u will feel that we should do something for the society. There are a lot of emotional elements in the film.

Decent Flick but becomes stereo-typic

[ravik-kant · 7/10 · 26 January 2014]

If you've not seen Stalin (Telugu) and Pay It Forward (English), you might find yourself seeing something completely new.In reality, it is not.

Its a frame by frame copy of Stalin and I am not sure what is it with Salman Khan and remake of South films. Wanted was remade from Pokiri, Ready with the same name, Bodygaurd with same name and now Jai Ho, from Stalin. Are they short of new ideas? Well, nothing against the remakes, but why to do a scene-by-scene remake - why not improve it, twist the story to make it a better film?

Lets come back to the film. First half is gripping. You attach yourself with the character and the action scenes, even though, are run-of-a-mill scenes, look very connected. Story follows a coherent plot and everything falls into place. By the time first half ends, you be almost convinced that it is a 9 or 10 star film. The goodness that is spread in first half and positive energy is amazing. You invariably think of Munnabhai 2 while watching those scenes. Betterment of society is a big topic and very sensitive to all of us. It looks very promising with those thing and you start looking for an awesome end / transformation in second half. Female lead actress has been made to look good in the movie and the chemistry is good.

All of the goodness of first half falls flat in second half. Second half becomes a normal Hero-vs-bad-politician movie. There is nothing new in second half. Here and there, you see the goodness of first half, but it doesn't leave any impression. Action scenes do become fierce, but connection to audience is normal. The best part of the movie comes when Salman Khan shows his greased, blood filled, aggressive body on screen. This scene has been taken special care of and is dipped in with all the spices to make it s delight for Salman fans. My wife was couldn't stop clapping through-out the film.

Its just another film filled with Salmanism. Overall, it should be watched ones, for the message its trying to carry, however I'd doubt if it breaks any box office records.

Strictly for those who believe SALMAN IS GOD

[priyadarsha-773-92897 · 1/10 · 25 January 2014]

This is just another useless characterization where Salman is pretending to be Aam Adami because people love Aam Admi's real life hero Arvind Kejriwal who has risked his own life for our country. This film has NO cinema and is strictly for those who believe there is only one God of all Gods and he is Salman Khan. May it be Arbaaz Khan's production or Sohail Khan's Production, all movie show that there is only one Superman, their brother -Salman Khan. I can't believe how in the world the character played by Salman is believable common man when nothing can stop him and he does many Superhuman things. This is masala film with no meaning where you can expect to see ONLY Salman's face all the time doing non-sense things.

"Jai Ho" Winning Hearts !!!

[priyankapathak-2009 · 9/10 · 27 January 2014]

"Jai Ho" is a Remake of Telugu Film STALIN .. Before this Salman has done successful Remakes as Wanted, Ready And Bodyguard which were exceptional Blockbusters in Bollywood.. Jai Ho is a complete Bonus Bonanza for Salman Fans because till now only the Fans witnessed a Heroic and "A Larger than Life" Image of their superstar but "Jai HO" is an amalgamation of a great Story with - Drama, Comedy , Action and moreover, A Noble Message, "If you'd like to Thank someone don't just say thanks, instead Help 3 People and ask those 3 people to Help more 3 People... Genuinely when u'll come out of Theatres after Watching this Movie this message would have been created an Impact in your Minds.. Not only Salman is seen as a Action Hero but also as a Sensible Person who Helps People suffering in Pain.. Sometimes he'll make you Emotional through his touching performance .. The Story revolves around Jai (Salman)an ex Army officer who believes in honest living and not giving in to injustice. Helping those in trouble eventually lands Jai and his family in trouble when he takes on the might of a powerful Minister (Danny Denzongpa). While on one hand, Jai is engrossed in fighting the evil force, on the other, he conceives a novel idea that could have the potential to stir a revolution – help three people and ask them to help three people in return.How that simple idea changes everything for Jai is what the rest of the film is about. The film is a family entertainer which gives us hope for a better future. For those who have a lot of love for Bollywood and cinema in their bosom, should not miss out on this one. The film opens and closes with a moral – "Thank you mat kahiye instead teen logo ki madad ki jiye aap". Let's hope this film initiates a "Thank You Chain" and creates a history!

Not the best, but pretty good

[jenpagjen · 7/10 · 11 March 2014]

Salman's personality in the movie is pretty much his exact personality in reality, which, in this case, is a good thing. The movie is all about doing good and fits the theme perfectly. For once it's about the message, and not the love story, though I do wish there was more of the love story in it.

Just like every other Bollywood movie the action is very over-the-top, but it wouldn't be Bollywood movie if it wasn't. The music is not brilliant, but it is nice.

Daisy Shah did very well for her first real roll. If you don't like her acting, her dancing will make up for it. She is an amazing dancer, especially in her first number in the film.

Basically, it's a clean, family film, which is hard to come by today. Give it a try. It is worth it.

Another Crap by Salman Khan.

[er-rajpandey · 1/10 · 24 January 2014]

Here it come "Jai ho" A another mind blasting movie by Salman khan. Don't know about the critics, As they rate it 4-5 star.. quite shocking huh... Nevertheless plot of the film,there is nothing special to talk about.... as usual its "Masala film" full of stupidity and non-sense.

Salman Khan plays, a patriotic but misunderstood army officer 'Jai' who is kicked out of the army as he doesn't follow his senior's orders.Then He chooses to become a mechanic but it won't work. Daisy shah plays his love interest. Spoiling this happy world is the villain Danny Denzongpa, a mean politician who kills his opposition and has the local police on his payroll.

Will he able to bring Danny and the other bad boys down? Will his shirt- ripping scene in the climax top the shirt rip in Dabangg? Can he and his lady love live happily ever after? This is the boring climax usually seen in most of the Commercial films.

If you liked Salman previous hits like Bodygaurd ETT, Dabang. Surly you'll not regret watching this otherwise its waste of money and time.
