This movie is nothing but a big ''B'' and a ''S'' all the way.B...s..t all the way.Bad direction and acting all the way.The reason there is 1 star is because of the message and a bit Salman's acting,say 50/50 and 9 stars has to go down for crap.Tabu and supporting characters were crap over acting everywhere.Salman should be more responsible and make good movies that would be looked up by the world,cut this crap,please,I thought we have moved on from the past.It's a really painful watch especially being a huge cinema fan,got bad headaches all the way through.Story wise,it was not bad,execution was utter terrible,music was bad.This movie is an insult to Bollywood and Indian cinema on the whole.

Well, First Of All Its a Salman Khan Movie So You All Expect Some Hard Core Eye Blowing Action with an Enjoyable Story and According to Me Jai Ho did Provide Exactly That. Its an Honest Attempt by The Director Sohail Khan and Salman. The Music could be Better. The Story was Well Intend, Do Good for The Society and Go All Out to Help People and I Think The Makers Got Full Mark what They Want to Show. If we Talk About Acting Then Salman did Exactly What was Wanted. He was in The Role All The Time. And We Can Say This is One of His Best Performance. Jai Ho will be Remembered by The People for Long Time. It was a Film for People and People Loved It. That was All Important. Salman again Proved He is The Real King of Bollywood.

Officially announced as the remake of Telugu film STALIN (2006) directed by A.R. Murugadoss, featuring Chiranjeevi in the lead, JAI HO does take its entire storyline & most of the exact sequences from the south original to put it straight. But then in reality, even STALIN had its major plot of forming a HELP CHAIN (by helping 3 more people), clearly lifted from the English flick PAY IT FORWARD released in the year 2000. Interestingly another important fact about this inspiration story remains that the Hollywood film in this case is a completely different emotional tale of an intelligent child & his lonely-disturbed mother and has nothing to do with either STALIN or JAI HO in terms of storyline.So to begin with the major positive factor about JAI HO is that this is a different and much improved film from SALMAN KHAN's recent blockbusters since WANTED (2009). So in case, you felt that his DABANGG, BODYGUARD, READY & EK THA TIGER had nothing much in the name of storyline, content or anything worth mentioning, then JAI HO is at least ahead of these all due to its basic script and a clear social message, which is sure going to be appreciated by many.The film begins in a very routine manner with an English Club song played along the credits. Surprisingly all these scenes never make you feel that you are watching one of the most awaited and bigger films of the year quite frankly. It gains momentum once the AAM AADMI related sequences come in and then the HELP CHAIN message brings in a certain kind of freshness, unarguably. Further all the routine elements get slowly introduced in the first hour, including the much needed love angle, a likable child artist, the military flashback and more with the songs interrupting the progression as always. But just before the interval a powerful action sequence comes in as a winner and the viewers feel like the game has just begun. So before intermission the film largely turns out to be an above average venture with a difference, also spreading social awareness among the people as a welcome change.But unfortunately, everything falls back to the same seen before kind of stuff post intermission and the film simply fails to materialize on the find build up made in its first half. No doubt here too we have some energetic conflicting sequences with the main villain (introduced in the second half only) offering few fiery dialogues and an enjoyable action. Yet Salman keeps roaring like a Lion in a Sunny Deol mode and again rips off his shirt in the climax as if they are not allowed to make a film without taking off his shirt in the end.Director Sohail Khan puts in all the essential elements of a Salman Khan film in the second half like an overstuffed burger and also keeps repeating the "Help Chain" thought in an irritating manner, completely spoiling the emotional magic which could have been created with a better execution. Plus the same old clichéd climax gets a major turn off when the action sequences have nothing new to offer in their styling and a military tank also comes on the road out of the blue in a quite illogical & hilarious mode. Therefore with such a weak & unimpressive climax, you neither have any praises for the makers nor 'The HELP CHAIN' thought stays with you for long, which in fact is very sad since it is indeed a highly valuable idea capable of bringing a major change around us, if followed religiously.Mentioning JAI HO's major drawbacks, firstly the film gets hugely affected by a sort of non star-cast ensemble where in except Salman Khan, you don't have any big face on the screen known in the present times. In a lighter mode, this is a kind of revival project for many forgotten names, who actually haven't done a film for long and also few coming straight from the BIG BOSS house making a back door entry. The second factor affecting JAI HO badly is its uninspiring soundtrack which doesn't have any big hit track to bring in the early footfall. Cinematography is fine with nothing path breaking and the same can be said about its background score, choreography and action.In the major performers, Salman is right there in every frame of the film and delivers a solid performance looking stronger and tensed in the major part of the film. Tabu plays the elder sister's role well and so does Danny in his limited appearance, post interval. Both Pulkit Samrat and Naman Jain (Salman's nephew) perform impressively and it was really sporting of Genelia Deshmukh to do such a non-glamorous role of only a few scenes. In her debut performance Sana Khan doesn't get much to do, except looking gorgeous (reminding me of Mahima Chaudhary) but Santosh Shukla makes the best of the opportunity given effectively. Coming to the leading lady Daisy Shah, she looks beautiful and has some great dancing skills too. But she is not able to do something great as the romance angle in the film falls flat and most of the times the girl appears to be a healthy, tall and big statured version of Rani Mukherjee in disguise. On the direction front, Sohail Khan shies away from doing something entirely novel and opts for the same tried and tested formula with a wise addition of a social angle. The younger Khan shows the sparks in few of the pulsating moments, but in absence of anything exceptional, he fails to make any kind of solid, long lasting impact on the viewers. Hence overall, JAI HO remains a half heartedly made film, which wished to convey something meaningful but could not free itself from that same old rotten way of painting the screen with all clichéd colours.

Please watch Jai Ho (जय हो) only if you are a die-hard fan of Salman Khan. Otherwise, this movie is a great disappointment as far as the plot of the movie, direction, story, screenplay are concerned. It is a fact that Salman has been a great mass puller with his Dabbang / Bodyguard / Wanted moves, but he may probably not be able to repeat his success. Salman Khan is playing the role of an ex-army officer, Jai Agnihotri. He wants to create a better nation. The effort was to convey that even an ordinary single human being can be a change catalyst and create a national stir for positive change. But the whole message gets diluted with the way it has been handled. I wish, at least a particular social issue could have been focused upon. There were lot of instances of Salman being a good Samaritan, but it seemed too superficial, it is tough to identify with the character. It lacked the flavor of country's present political scenario. We have seen enough of Salman's one-man action sequences which are there in this as well, added with Salman's bites or roars. Riya Agnihotri (Salman's Sister played by Tabu) is unconditional in her love towards her brother and has got good amount of screen time. It is always a pleasure to watch Tabu perform, but she doesn't have to do much. Daisy Shah has definitely given some good dance moments, and also, she has screen presence, but her role has not been sketched out properly. And there are a list of actors (get breathless): Nadira Babbar, Danny Denzongpa, Daisy Shah, Sana Khan, Mahesh Manjrekar, Aditya Pancholi, Mohnish Behl, Mukul Dev, Ashmit Patel, Yash Tonk, Nauheed Cyrusi, Bruna Abdullah, Genelia, Vikas Bhalla, Sunil Shetty, Santosh Shukla, Pulkit Samrat and many more They come and go without actually being able to make a remarkable impact upon the audience. Too many characters are introduced. Background score by Sandeep Shirodkar is good. 'Tere Naina maar hi daalenge' is also good. Other songs by Sajid-Wajid are average. Sets during the dance sequences are huge and presentable.Is this going to be a 'Jai Ho' at box office ?
