Jai Ho - Movie Review
Share The Knowledge
Much has been debated about the making and the story of Superstar
Salman Khan's latest outing Jai Ho, prior its release. Having hit the
marquee today, the movie is somewhat similar to his previous outings
like Dabangg, Ready and Bodyguard. But what makes it different from his
previous movies is its theme and story that send out a clear message to
the society. Like Sanjay Dutt in Munna Bhai MMBS, Sallu Miyan rocks the
film goers in his different avatar as social crusader. The film throws
more light on the humane side of Dabangg Khan. Continue to read Jai Ho
review.
Jai Ho is an action drama with all commercial elements to woo all
classes of audience. Salman Khan's performance is the main highlight of
the film. AR Murugadoss' story, Dilip Shukla's interesting screenplay,
punch dialogues, Sajid-Wajid's songs, Sandeep Shirodkar's background
score, Santosh Thundiyil's beautiful picturisation, well-choreographed
action and dance sequences and a few comedy scenes are other big
attractions in the film.
This Sohail Khan-directed flick is an official remake of Megastar
Chiranjeevi's 2006 hit Telugu movie Stalin, which itself was inspired
from Hollywood movie Pay it Forward. Sticking to the original theme and
story, screenplay writer Dilip Shukla has done a few changes to suit the
taste of Hindi audience and Salman fans. He has added a few extra
characters and more entertainment quotient to the film.
The story of Jai Ho is about Major Jai Agnihotri, who is a
suspended-patriotic Indian army officer. His only motive in life is to
help others and make the world a better place. He creates a nation-wide
movement by convincing people to do a good deed for three people, who
must in turn do good deeds for three other people.
Like Salman's previous movie, Jai Ho has an engrossing screenplay and it
keeps you entertained right from the beginning till the end. In the
first half, Salman is seen helping a disabled student write her exams
and reunites a kidnapped toddler with his distraught mother. Instead of
receiving thanks from them, he makes them help three people thereby
forming a human goodness chain. In the second half, he is attacked by
goons after he thrashes a rich guy. How his own concept - "help three
people" - saves his life will form the climax.
As usual, Salman Khan has delivered brilliant performance in Jai Ho.
When compared to his previous outings, his role in this movie is
completely different and it shows the other side of the actor. He is
sure to rock the viewers with his new style statement. Daisy Shah has no
scope for performance, but she impresses you with her glam quotient.
Other artistes like Tabu, Sunil Shetty, Danny Denzongpa, Sana Khan,
Daisy Shah, Nadira Babbar, Genelia D'Souza, Naman Jain, Mahesh Thakur,
Ashmit Patel, Yash Tonk, Haroon Qazi, Mohnish Bahl, Mahesh Manjrekar
have also done justice to their respective roles.
Jai Ho has brilliant production values and Santosh Thundiyil's
cinematography is the main attraction in the technical front. Music and
background score, action, dance scenes are also big assets of the film.
Overall, Jai Ho is a masala entertainer made in the usual style of
Salman Khan's movies, but a message-oriented story is what makes you
watch the film.
