    Awesome

    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.

    A typical Salman khan movie.

    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!

    3 x 3 x 3 x..........= Good Plot but could have been better Execution

    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.

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

    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...

    salman & tabu great job... sohail complete fail

    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
