Jai Ho
Tags: good versus evil

Plot synopsis:
Jai Agnihotri (Salman Khan) is an ex-army officer whose passions include helping citizens and fighting criminals. He was a major in the Indian Army, but was suspended because he ignored orders from his superiors so that he could rescue a group of children from terrorists. After this incident, Jai moved in with his mother and sister Geeta (Tabu).
One day, Jai is unable to help a physically disabled girl, Suman (Genelia D'Souza), take an examination while her brother is stuck in a traffic block. Suman became depressed because no one came to help her, and she commits suicide. Jai is greatly disturbed by this incident. With Suman’s death fresh in his mind, Jai created a system that would encourage citizens to help each other. Each day, citizens were to help three people. These three people would in turn help three more people, and so on. Jai believed that this network would foster kindness and a sense of community among the citizens. His system, however, faced challenges.
On one occasion, for one of his daily good deeds, Jai beat a rich man who had injured a child beggar. In an act of revenge, the rich man employed some men to take Jai's sister Geeta and friend Rinky into their custody. Jai was able to save his sister and friend, but in the process he injured one of the captors. This captor happened to be the henchman of a member of the Legislative Assembly, named Patil. Patil was the son-in-law of the Home Minister Dashrat Singh.
The Home Minister was not pleased that Jai had injured one of his son-in-law’s henchmen. He attempted to avenge this injury by kidnapping Jai’s nephew. The Home Minister lost his son-in-law in the process. The Chief Minister, Ashok Pradhan, meanwhile found out about Jai's system after his own life was saved by a schoolgirl performing her good deeds for the day. The Chief Minister decided to intervene in the dispute between the Home Minister and Jai in an attempt to put an end to their fight. The Home Minister did not appreciate this intervention. He planned to kill the Chief Minister and frame Jai. Jai, however, was able to save the Chief Minister.
The Home Minister’s son, Arjun Singh, and his hired men attack Jai. Jai killed Arjun, but not before he was severely injured after getting stabbed by the Home Minister’s daughter, Kavita Singh Patil. A rickshaw driver and a former colleague, Arjun Kaul, together helped Jai get to the hospital. While Jai was at the hospital, the Home Minister spread rumors that Jai was responsible for trying to kill the Chief Minister. Once the Chief Minister recovered, he revealed that it was the Home Minister, not Jai, behind the attempted murder. A crowd beat the Home Minister after hearing the truth.
Doctors were able to save Jai. Jai had survived thanks to his own help-three-people concept. When Jai emerged from the hospital, he found thousands of people waiting for him. Jai thanked them all for making his concept a success.

Review: 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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).
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..
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.
On the whole, a noble, well-intentioned message narrated in an entertaining format in a Salman Khan movie, who, as we all know by now, is the much endeared hero of the masses, makes JAI HO a sure-shot winner.
His previous films - 'Wanted', 'Dabangg', 'Bodyguard', 'Ek Tha Tiger' and 'Dabangg 2'- did great business at the Box Office and 'Jai Ho' may prove to be even better.Directed by Sohail Khan, 'Jai Ho' is an absolute entertainer with a thought provoking message.The title of the film is apt.
His thick friends (played by Yash Tonk and Ashmit Patel) follow in his footsteps and are ever ready to assist him or anyone in times of need.The whole film revolves around the idea of extending a helping hand to those in need and asking them to return favours by helping three other people and taking the chain forward.With 'Jai Ho', Salman Khan has been able to deliver one of the best performances of his career and convey a very simple yet a strong message through this highly entertaining movie.The film endorses the belief that even one man can make a difference if he determines to do so.
She may need meaty roles in future to prove her acting credentials but looked quite good in the film.Tabu as 'Geeta' and veteran theatre personality Nadira Babbar as Jai's mother have been fabulous.
Its remake of Stalin which had superb contents so i am expecting same from Jai Ho & Salman Khan will take care about entertainment...So looking forward for tomorrow's show...after watching i will rate the movie...
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...
You will enjoy some good fight scene , some best comedy scenes and a lot :) Daisy Shah looks very pretty and different in the movie.
I liked the movie cause it has positive message to deliver however this movie is a copy of pay it forward but then again u can also say Salman does pay it forward a great human alive and who really knows the meaning of being human Go watch it and haters kindly raise your standards !!!In our world helping other people is perhaps the most important we can do.
Sohil Khan did a great job directing and producing the film.PS: People who have said negative about this movie must like movies with vulgarity!
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 .
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.
This movie lacks everything,from a good script to direction.What can you expect from a movie directed by Sohail Khan.Of course a nonsense.Salman Khan performance was hilarious throughout the movie.The worst part of the movie is its music.Sajid-Wajid are at their worst.There is nothing for the viewers in this movie.Even the fans of Salman Khan will be disappointed after watching it.just Waste of time and money.
"Jai Ho" is a good movie spreading a social message "to help someone and in return ask to help other three whenever you can, instead of Thank you".
I left watching the movie only after 30-40 minutes.Well, if you are a big fan of mindless action and want to watch it only for Salman, go for it otherwise there is no need to waste your time and money.
still the movie is in my head the performance of the mega-star of bollywood Salman was excellent mind-blowing brilliant all in one the concept of helping 3 people which Will make a chain of help was brilliant daisy shah was good she has great expression n great dancer.
tabu as usual excellent music very good action was excellent this movie will proof all the haters thats if u think Megastar salman cant act go for this u Will his fan again..
In the end, however, he is surprised to see that the movement he thought failed has in fact started working.The movie has a mix of action, emotion, comedy and romance, with the first two taking the major chunk.The film starts on a typical Salman style action with him bashing up goons who tries to kidnap a girl.The first half though is more about emotions with a few comedy, and a bit of action thrown in.The Director handles the action and comic scenes well, but fails to deliver on the emotional angle in this part.The build up to the theme of helping others and finally taking it forward to culminate as a human chain doesn't touch the audience as it was may be intended.Most of the characters and their stories are not woven well in to the script and hang as loose ends.The movie however picks up at the end of the first half and then it gathers steam.Here action takes precedence over everything else.The action is high octane, and Salman proves that no one can better him or be so convincing in this aspect.
The moment he roars in to action, the audience is thrilled to the core.This part of the movie has action and story very well inter-woven and suddenly everything looks brighter and more interesting, that finally connects with the audience and gathering their attention till the movie ends on a very positive note.Salman Khan delivers a punch, especially in the second half with his performance and action stunts.
He is restrained by the script in the first half, but comes on his own with great energy in the second.One of the rare movies where this Khan is able to generate emotions from the crowd.Tabu as his sister has done a good job, while all others have very brief roles to play, including the debutant actress Daisy Shah.The music is a let down, with only two songs viz, the party song, "Tu Nathi To Taro Photo" and the light romantic "Tere Naina" worth listening.Director Sohail Khan could have worked on the script avoiding a few scenes and characters who are quickly forgotten as the movie ends.To conclude the movie is a treat during the action, comedy and post interval session with a positive message in the end that should catch up with the audience..
I am a huge fan of Salman Khan and due to this i watched that movie.
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..
There are many films which give message to society but what Jai Ho has did is really praiseworthy.A clean film with such a clean message....just entertained!For the very first time,I am really satisfied with the performance of Salman Khan.The film has several scenes that will even make your eyes filled with tears,especially the climax.
The action is also very good.Sohail Khan has managed to make a "film" after all.On the whole,Jai Ho is a mass entertainer that lives to its expectations and doesn't disappoint you.Watch it,if not for Salman,then for its message..
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.
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.
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.
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.
Watch this movie for the comedy only or to be watched strictly by Salman Khan's fan only.Plot is too simple and the message projected by the movie is too trivial.This movie tries to unleash social problem but founders due to extra family drama,melodrama and excessive action sequence where Salman is so so.First part of movie is very boring except some comedy by Naman Jain.I desperately had to wait for next half to have something to watch but trust me the MLM social helping hand chain projected without any solid background.The concept though was good but did not convinced by the movie properly.It will be wrong to compare it with Ghatak but better to watch Ghatak again then to watch this movie.This is not even one time watch movie..
But movie carries a good message and no doubt i love 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.
How Jai continues his assignment of serving others is the story of the flick.Just after I appreciate that Salman comes up with something new apart from his regular illogical movies, an army tank arises in the middle of traffic cutting off the hero from the bad guys to save his life.
Same old Salman Khan action.On the whole Jai Ho is a re-creation of the Telugu film, Stalin, which itself was inspired by the Hollywood film, Pay It Forward.
Although Danny is my favorite side actor and he is very powerful actor, never fall to make impression but here hs looks totally at loss.There was no fun in the movie and entertainment is totally missing which is trademark of Salman Khan's films.
The first half of the movie mainly focuses on how good a man Jai Agnihotri (Salman Khan) is.
Salman Khan Must Watch Movie with good social message & best performance by salman khan.
like other movies of Sallu this one is also a blockbuster....."Jai Ho" is a Remake of Telugu Film STALIN ..
Help 3 People:Best Salman Khan Movie..
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..
Here it come "Jai ho" A another mind blasting movie by Salman khan.
Salman Khan is back on silver screen after a gap of 13 months with Jai Ho. The king of masala entertainers this time is 'being human', for Jai Ho has a social message .Superb Movie....
Don't waste your money and time on this movie..These film makers assume that people are stupid and will accept anything no matter how bizarre they throw at them..Acting: Salman Khan did his level best to become a dog and succeeded to a great extent, he bit almost every bad guy in this movie lol..his expressions were horrible when shown angry..other than this there were literally no expressions at all..It felt as if there is no planning done at all..seemed like director just shout action and every one started doing whatever came to their mind.
The movie is good to watch for Salman Khan only.
Please watch Jai Ho (जय हो) only if you are a die-hard fan of Salman Khan.
Jai Ho is Salman Khan style of making a movie and delivering a social message in style.
In first half Salman bashes the bad guys in style, and the action scenes were superb not like his previous movies.
