review
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!
