Jai Ho - Film Reviews

Ratings - * * * 1/2

Aamir Khan the Salman's close friend had aptly said in Agenda Aaj Tak that Salman Khan is the only star in Bollywood. Whatever antics he does in his movies from tearing off his shirt to wearing inverted glasses, everything becomes a fad. 

Based on Telugu movie "Stalin" (2006), Jai Ho is a complete Salman show.This movie is a full time entertainer replete with action, romance, dance, comedy, thrill, emotion, drama, patriotism, pathos and so on.

It's the story of an army man Jai Agnihotri, who is leading a civilian's life due to some unknown reasons. But the sense of righteousness is infused in him to such an extent that he is unable to tolerate any wrong doing so much so that he often lands in troubles.

He is supported in his rightful endeavors by his sister Geeta and two friends-one is a doc and the other probably a corporate honcho.

Jai is a happy,joyful and fun loving person, but is so much disturbed by the vice around that he decides to change it himself and this he does by propagating a lovely mantra which says, "if you help someone and the other person thanks you, ask him to help three other people in return and those three persons should help three others, thus making a huge chain of goodness!!!"

The concept is beautiful and its implementation is even better.

Since the hero is Salman Khan, there is a huge army of villains too! From a corrupt minister, a vicious  daughter of a politician, a corrupt son-in law, a six pack monster type son and of course police officers who have turned dishonest, Salman fights innumerable baddies in the movie.

There is a lot of action and drama, but romance has not been forgotten by the director.

love affair of jai with Pinky (Daisy Shah) who lives in the neighborhood is movie's romantic relief.

Although she had very little to do in this movie, yet she has not failed to impress. Tabu as expected, has done her job really well. From songs to dance, everything in the movie is first class!

Those who love Salman, masala films and conventional cinema, should not miss "Jai Ho"!
