‘Jai Ho’ is a drama movie directed by
Sohail Khan. The cast includes Salman Khan, Daisy Shah, Tabu, Sana Khan, Danny
Denzongpa, Nadira Babbar, to name a few. The film is two hours twenty five
minutes long. It is a remake of a Telugu film called Stalin. It
was initially going to be titled as ‘Mental’, but later it was changed to ‘Jai
Ho’.
The basic premise of the film ‘Jai Ho’ is to fight
for justice and to make the world a better place to live in. This is done by
concept of the chain of goodness which was spread by the protagonist. It is
that if you help someone, then you convince that person to help other three
people and tell them to help another other three people. This would eventually
multiply and thus spread goodness.
Jai (Salman Khan) is an ex-army officer and is
called as the people’s man. He can go to any extent to solve the problems of a
common man. The current state of the country being so frustrated against
injustice and corruption, this story line works well with the emotions of the
audience and thus is helping the film ‘Jai Ho’.
This film also has a mix of action and humour. But
at times it is exaggerated and thus spoilt the scenes. There are also a few
clichés and typical Bollywood masala shots. The VFX or special effects were
good at certain points of the film. The acting of the cast including the
debutante Daisy was decent. There are also many masala Bollywood music and
songs. The music isn’t that good of this film.
Presentation wise in a few scenes, many random
actors would land up without the actual connect in the story. The movie is also
purely against the grounds of reality. This is so because the protagonist by
default would always land up at the scenes where bad would happen and he would
also be able to fight a crowd of hundreds all by himself. Even after hurting
his back with a knife and a bullet in his stomach, he can successfully fight
back the antagonist. The action scene of him attacking the villains with a ball
point pen was just too exaggerated and stupid.
Overall, the film ‘Jai Ho’ has a nice concept and
storyline but with a few flaws and some cliché and typical Bollywood masala
film. Die heart Salman Khan fans will love this film.
