It's by now a tradition -- and the film fraternity looks forward to it big time -- to have a Khan starrer create new benchmarks at the BO year after year. While Aamir Khan and SRK had a film release each in 2013, Salman Khan did not. Of course, the charismatic actor hosted a popular reality show on television last year, but one did miss him on the big screen. The year 2014 now kick-starts with the Salman starrer JAI HO, directed by his younger brother Sohail Khan, who returns to the director's seat after more than a decade.
Let's come to the point right away! JAI HO does not fall into the WANTED, DABANGG, READY, BODYGUARD, EK THA TIGER or DABANGG-2 space. And yet it does! This one focuses on a conflict and how the protagonist takes it up, which is reminiscent of the much-admired MUNNABHAI series. One can also draw parallels between JAI HO and the current political scenario, since it looks at the power the common man yields today. Additionally, JAI HO carries a noble message that could bring about a change in the society for the better, with Salman playing a righteous Samaritan. Concurrently, there are episodes -- especially the ones when Salman challenges the opponent or gets into a duel with the henchmen -- that makes JAI HO similar to the above-mentioned masala entertainers, besides pleasing the legion of 'Bhai fans' who expect their fav star to roar and fight like a lion, besides deliver lines such as 'Aam aadmi sota hua sher hain, ungli mat kar, jaag gaya to cheer-phaad dega'.
For the uninitiated, JAI HO is a remake of Telugu film STALIN [2006], starring Chiranjeevi, Trisha, Khushboo and Prakash Raj and directed by A.R. Murugadoss, which, reportedly, was inspired by the Hollywood film PAY IT FORWARD [2000], starring Kevin Spacey, Helen Hunt and Haley Joel Osment.
Jai [Salman Khan], an upright common man, is fighting a solitary war against corruption and injustice. Honest and incorruptible, he has made it his mission to help as many people as he can. His mantra is quite simple -- help somebody and then request that person to lend a helping hand to somebody else -- thus forming an ever-growing circle of people helping each other.
In a strange twist of fate, he finds himself pitted against a powerful politician [Danny Denzongpa] and his vile family. Jai, who is an ex-army officer, will not shy away from a battle, however bloody it may get and firmly believes that you do not have to wear a uniform to serve your country. As the politician unleashes his violent goons on braveheart Jai, Geeta [Tabu], Jai's sister, realises the horrific consequences this can have on her brother and the rest of their family.
She persuades a reluctant Jai to make peace with the politician. But when this leads to humiliation being heaped on him, Jai loses his cool and declares all out war. It is an unequal war -- on side side is the politician with his numerous henchmen and on the other side is Jai -- all alone. However, unknown to Jai, a silent revolution has already begun. The voiceless public, he has helped in the past, is gathering force. It finally has a voice and this voice cannot and will not be silenced.
Although a remake, JAI HO follows the Rajkumar Hirani formula of addressing an issue, but at the same time Sohail Khan makes sure that the audience, especially the die-hard fans of Salman Khan, gets its dose of entertainment. Salman is *not* the prototypical superhero or the tough guy you expect him to be, in the initial portions of the film. The first half focuses primarily on the sub-plots, beginning with his relationship with his mother [Nadira Babbar], sister [Tabu] and sweetheart [Daisy Shah]. He's the aam aadmi who's making attempts to make the world a better place in his own small way. The conflict between the protagonist and the antagonist comes to the fore only towards the post-interval portions, when the two factions collide. It's at this point that the film changes tracks, with Salman donning the avatar of the avenger and setting things right.
Salman is like one of those fabled characters in the second half of JAI HO. Besides, the writer integrates the message of what goes around comes around, with the Salman brand of entertainment smartly intertwined in the absorbing screenplay. The emotional punches, fighting the baddies with his iron fist, acidic and punch-packed dialogues delivered in high energy, volatile confrontations… JAI HO serves it all. The cynics and naysayers may argue, well, haven't the spectators watched Salman doing all this earlier? Why again? Sure, there are certain attributes and characteristic synonymous with the actor and JAI HO serves it unabashedly. It's 2.25 hours of Salman, Salman and Salman doing what he does best, including going shirtless, flaunting his well-toned physique towards the final moments of the film [a brilliantly executed action sequence].
While JAI HO carries the tag of being a typical Salman fare faithfully, it falls short in its music department. Tuneful and melodious music are a given in a Salman fare, but the soundtrack of JAI HO could've been better. Barring 'Apna Kaam Banta', which has power-packed, hard-hitting lyrics, the remaining songs are ordinary, unlike Salman's previous endeavours which were embellished with a harmonious, lilting soundtrack. In fact, the two romantic tracks lack fizz, while the song at the engagement ceremony is passable.
Directorially, Sohail Khan remains faithful to the original, well aware that one cannot experiment much in a standard format. Yet, one cannot turn a blind eye to the fact that a number of sequences do leave a stunning impact. I'd like to mention two here: Salman's confrontation with Danny, which is outstanding. The penultimate moments -- a sea of people get assembled outside the hospital -- moves you no end and can be termed the highpoint of the enterprise. It leaves you awestruck! Also, Sohail's handling of the emotional sequences deserves mention. It makes you moist-eyed on several occasions. Dialogues are aimed at making the Salman fans get a high and they do serve the purpose. Cinematography is top notch, while action sequences are well orchestrated. The background score is perfect.
JAI HO is a Salman show through and through and the actor rises above the script to deliver a bravura performance. The actor fires on all cylinders, standing tall and dwarfing everything and everyone in sight. You cannot take your eyes off him, he's simply incredible. Tabu returns to the masala zone after a hiatus and the choice of film couldn't be more appropriate. For, there's ample meat in her character to stand out. Daisy Shah doesn't really get much scope, but you cannot ignore the fact that she's a terrific and graceful dancer. Danny Denzongpa enacts the evil politician with gusto. Sana Khan leaves a mark in a role that has negative shades. Genelia Deshmukh is wonderful in a brief but significant role. Nadira Babbar is first-rate. Pulkit Samrat is efficient. Naman Jain, who enacts the role of Salman's nephew, is super. Suniel Shetty appears in a cameo.
The film has a strong supporting cast, which includes Mahesh Manjrekar, Aditya Pancholi, Mohnish Bahl, Sharad Kapoor, Mahesh Thakur, Mukul Dev, Ashmit Patel, Yash Tonk, Varun Badola, Vatsal Sheth, Tulip Joshi, Haroon Qazi and Sudesh Lehri. They enact their respective characters well. Santosh Shukla makes a confident big screen debut. Also, the actor who enacts the part of the drunkard stands out.
On the whole, a noble, well-intentioned message narrated in an entertaining format in a Salman Khan movie, who, as we all know by now, is the much endeared hero of the masses, makes JAI HO a sure-shot winner. In fact, it won't be wrong to state that JAI HO easily ranks amongst Salman's better films. This one has the potential to emerge a Blockbuster at the box-office.

Jai Ho (transl. Let there be victory) is a 2014 Indian Hindi-language action drama film directed by Sohail Khan and produced by Khan and Sunil Lulla. The film stars Salman Khan, Tabu, Daisy Shah, Aditya Pancholi and Danny Denzongpa. It also features Sunil Shetty and Genelia D'Souza in cameo appearances. The film is an official remake of the Telugu film Stalin (2006), directed by A. R. Murugadoss.
Jai Ho was released on 24 January 2014, on 3900 screens in India and around 650 screens overseas.[5] It received mixed reviews from critics.[6]
Jai Ho's worldwide distribution rights were sold for ₹110 crore (US$16 million as of January 2016), while its satellite rights were sold for ₹ African safari magazine. 50 crore ($7.4 million). Its music rights were also sold for ₹12 crore ($1.8 million).
Jai Agnihotri (Salman Khan) is an ex-army officer who is short-tempered and passionate about helping citizens and fighting criminals. He was a major in the Indian Army, but was suspended after he ignored orders from his superiors to rescue a group of children from terrorists. After this incident, Jai moved in with his mother and sister Geeta (Tabu).
One day, Jai is unable to help Suman, a physically disabled girl (Genelia D'Souza), take an examination while her brother Rohan (Vikas Bhalla) was stuck in a traffic jam. A depressed Suman commits suicide. Jai is greatly disturbed by this incident. With Suman's death fresh in his mind, Jai creates a system that would encourage citizens to help each other. Each day, citizens are to help three people. These three people would in turn help three more people, and so on. Jai believes that this network would foster kindness and a sense of community among the citizens. His system, however, faces challenges.
On one occasion, for one of his daily good deeds, Jai loses his temper and beats a rich man who had injured a child beggar. In an act of revenge, the rich man employes some men to kidnap Jai's sister Geeta and friend Rinky. Jai is able to save his sister and friend, but injures one of the captors in the process, who happenes to be the henchman of a member of the Legislative Assembly named Patil. Patil is the son-in-law of the Home Minister Dashrath Singh.
The Home Minister is not pleased that Jai has injured one of his sons-in-law's henchmen. He attempts to avenge this injury by kidnapping Jai's nephew. The Home Minister loses his son-in-law in the process. The Chief Minister, Ashok Pradhan, meanwhile finds out about Jai's system after his own life is saved by a schoolgirl performing her good deeds for the day. The Chief Minister decides to intervene in the dispute between the Home Minister and Jai in an attempt to put an end to their fight. The Home Minister does not appreciate this intervention. He attempts to kill the Chief Minister and frame Jai. Jai, however, is able to save the Chief Minister.
The Home Minister's son, Arjun Singh, and his hired men attack Jai. Jai kills Arjun, but not before he is severely injured after getting stabbed by the Home Minister's daughter, Kavita Singh Patil and Jai stabbing her to her stomach. A rickshaw driver and Jai's former colleague, Arjun Kaul, together help Jai get to the hospital. While Jai is at the hospital, the Home Minister spreads rumors that Jai had attempted to assassinate the Chief Minister. Once the Chief Minister recovers, he reveals that it was the Home Minister and not Jai who was behind the attempted murder. Crowd beats the Home Minister after hearing the truth.
Doctors are able to save Jai. Jai has survived thanks to his own help-three-people concept. When Jai emerges from the hospital, he finds thousands of people waiting for him. Jai thanks them all for making his concept a success.
In late 2012, Sohail Khan announced he planned to remake the Telugu film Stalin starring Chiranjeevi and Trisha.[7][8] Khan originally titled the remake Mental, but by the time the film was released, it had been re-titled Jai Ho.
Shooting for the film was set to begin February 27, 2013 but was postponed until late March[M1]. There were rumors that the film would be released in 3D, but Sohail Khan was cited stating, 'First, let me complete my film in the normal format. Then I'll take a call'.[9]Salman Khan unveiled the first Jai Ho poster on 6 December 2013. The poster consisted of images of thousands of fans digitally merged to create one portrait of Khan. Khan's fans created this poster.[10][11][12][13]
India Today gave Jai Ho a 2 out of 5[M1] and commented that it was a rip off of Ek Tha Tiger with mindless action.[14]Anupama Chopra gave the movie a 2.5 out of 5 and lamented Jai Ho was more of a cartoon than a film.[15]Taran Adarsh gave it 4.5 stars out of 5 and called it a 'noble, well-intentioned message narrated in an entertaining format'.[16]

Another version of the film was uploaded on 2 February 2014.[22] DNA Films reported that Khan had requested that ticket prices be kept at the minimum so that people could afford to see the movie because of its message.[23]

Jai, an upright common man is fighting a solitary war against corruption and injustice. Honest and incorruptible, he has made it his mission to help as many people as he can. His mantra is quite simple – help somebody and then request that person to lend a helping hand to somebody else – thus forming an ever growing circle of people helping each other. In a strange twist of fate, he finds himself pitted against a powerful politician and his vile family. Jai who is an ex army officer, will not shy away from a battle, however bloody it may get and firmly believes that you do not have to wear an uniform to serve your country. As the politician unleashes his violent goons on brave heart Jai, Geeta, Jai’s sister, realises the horrific consequences this can have on her brother and the rest of their family. She persuades a reluctant Jai to make peace with the politician. But when this leads to humiliation being heaped on him, Jai loses his cool and declares all out war. It is an unequal war – on side stand the politician with his numerous henchmen and on one side is Jai – alone. But unknown to him, a silent revolution is taking place. The voiceless public, he has helped in the past, is gathering force. It finally has a voice and this voice cannot..will not be silenced because Jai Ho is the resounding sound of victory. Jai Ho is the warrior cry of someone determined to win at all cost. less
“Jai Ho is a well-intentioned film but far from first class with a lack of the entertainment factor. One time watch for Salman Khan fans.”
