    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

    Jai Ho! Rocks!

    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!

    An excellent but underrated film...

    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...

    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...

    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.
