JAI HO Movie Review



Average Rating 2.8/5


Ratings:4.5/5 Review By: Taran Adarsh Site:Bollywood Hungama

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'- A remake of Telugu film 'Stalin' (inspired by Hollywood film 'Pay It Forward') resonates with the current mood of the country. Sparking an optimistic hope of a Utopian world. Sohail presents our 'Hero of the Masses' fabulously - with all Salmanisms perfectly in place. The premise pompously alerts us of cliches and trappings of a commercial masala fare. The screenplay is not as inspiring as the noble message, the story cuts into too many episodes and the underlying idea is repetitive.

Ratings:2/5 Review By: Sukanya Verma Site:Rediff

Jai Ho, directed by brother Sohail Khan, has an honourable premise (based on Chiranjeevi’s Telugu super-hit Stalin) but doesn’t hold up for want of deft filmmaking and sleek aesthetics. What could have been a relevant crowd-pleaser with a little effort from Sohail Khan and his writers is mostly a tedious and overcrowded drivel that shamelessly depends on Salman’s strapping charisma to tide them over.

Ratings:1.5/5 Review By: Saibal Chaterjee Site:NDTV

There is absolutely nothing uncommon about Jai Ho. It is strictly hackneyed fare about a wronged man who goes berserk in his mission to rid his own life – and that of the nation – of a very powerful tormentor. Jai Ho is a tale that is about as exciting – and just as empty – as the spiel of a politician going to the polls. Eminently avoidable unless you are a diehard Salman Khan fan.

`Jai Ho’ could have been a pure and simple `Dabangg 3’. It’s not. It’s not even a no-holds-barred South remake either, despite its quarts of spurting blood and broken bones). Jai’s ‘aam aadmi’ ( he says the phrase, and the audience erupts, rightfully, in this age of ascendant mango people ) catches traction only a moment. In the rest, he goes back to snarling and kicking and scowling.

Jai Ho is a treat for Salman fans and this time there is some bonus, Bhai is not just fighting, he is also giving a good message.  A Salman Khan film is an amusement ride, don't take it too seriously! Watch it with his fans and you will know what I mean!

Ratings:3.5/5 Review By: Gayatri Shankar Site:Zee News

Unlike Salman’s previous films, ‘Jai Ho’ isn’t a typical masala movie. The dialogues are simple and connect well with the audiences. The action sequences have been shot well and the cinematography is clean and impressive. Kudos to the Khan brothers for pulling off a film like ‘Jai Ho’.


Ratings:3/5 Review By: Mohar Basu Site:Koimoi

Finally, the film fails to ennoble itself beyond what the contours of the script holds for it. Lacking the quirky fun of Dabangg or Ek Tha Tiger, Jai Ho simply furthers Salman’s Being Human status. However, it still scores over all of Salman’s works put together for its ability to translate the common man’s simmering anger into a Utopian and satisfying climax. A definite not-miss!



Dedh Ishqiya

Overall Rating: 4/5

Rohit Khilnani, India Today:  3.5/5
A pat on the back for Abhishek Chaubey who puts a tough film together and keeps us engrossed throughout. Music by Vishal Bhardwaj is not great here but his contribution in writing the dialogues for this film is the best thing to happen to Dedh Ishqiya.

Watch it, you won't be disappointed!


Saibal Chatterjee, NDTV:  4/5
Notwithstanding the title, there are no half measures in Dedh Ishqiya
From dilkashi to junoon, the start and end point respectively of Khalujaan’s take on the seven stages of love, the film has them both and everything in between and beyond.

Dedh Ishqiya is a must watch

Raja Sen, Rediff:  5/5
It's a sequel that leaves even a highly original first-part far behind. 
And, for a film so accessible, it’s armed with the most cunning, most delicious twist. It’s terrific -- and a half.

Dedhriffic, then

First PostIn short, Dedh Ishqiya is smarter, funnier, richer and way more gorgeous than its predecessor. If you're a fan of clever lines with terrific actors, great writing, masterful direction and Urdu poetry, Dedh Ishqiya hits your sweet spot. If you don’t really give a damn about any of this and just want a fun time at the movies, Dedh Ishqiya is perhaps the most hilarious thriller Bollywood has produced
                        
Meena Iyer , Times of India : 3.5/5
Vishal Bharadwaj's dialogue keeps you in splits. The free usage of words like sex and chu**yapaa tickle the funny bone. Naseer is back in super-form after straying in outings like Jackpot. Ditto Arshad. Madhuri looks gorgeous but the dhak-dhak girl (now woman) falls short on the oomph meter, as compared to Vidya Balan in IshqiyaHuma Qureshi is interesting.

Taran Adarsh Site:Bollywood Hungama 4/5
While ISHQIYA was earthy and rustic, one gets to witness an alternate universe in DEDH ISHQIYA. There are layers to the story that baffle you. This time, it's even more dicey and perilous. On the whole, DEDH ISHQIYA is a worthy follow up to the widely admired ISHQIYA. Powerful writing, superb direction and outstanding performances make DEDH ISHQIYA a must watch. Just don't miss it!

Daily Bhaskar Site:Dainik Bhaskar : 3.5/5
The film rides on a good story, great acting performances, brilliant screenplay, interesting dialogues and a twist, which will leave you awestruck. If Ishqiya was rustic, Dedh Ishqiya is royal. Just like the prequel Naseeruddin Shah and Arshad have given an outstanding performance. Dedh Ishqiya is fractionally better than its prequel.For all the cinema lovers, who prefer acting and story over masala, it’s time to book your seats.

Dhoom 3

Overall Rating: 3 Stars

Saibal Chattarjee : 3 Stars
Dhoom 3 is fun while it lasts, but it might not leave the viewer with the sense of having watched a film that is truly unique.



Mohar Basu: 4 Stars
Dhoom 3 is a definite must watch. Breathtakingly shot with gorgeous cinematography, this edition notches higher than its preceding films in terms of thrills and mostly in terms of soul.

Rajeev Masand : 2 ½ Stars
Dhoom 3 is a sloppily scripted sandwich of hammy acting and cheesy dialogue. 

Raja Sen : 1 ½ Stars
Dhoom 3 is a children’s film made for children who’ve never seen a film.

Taran Adarsh: 3 ½ Stars
The latest chapter of Dhoom, directed by Vijay Krishna Acharya, delivers everything you anticipate from it, so there's no room to grumble, frankly.

Aparna Mudi: 4 Stars
Dhoom 3 manages to deliver a typically Bollywood revenge saga in a modern way. The suspense and the emotional quotient added to the speed and stunts make the movie as spectacular as it promises to be.

Anupama Chopra: 3 Stars
The big plot twist has been ripped off from Christopher Nolan’s The Prestige. So see Dhoom 3 but with your expectations at half-mast. It’s not the popcorn thrill ride that I expected. There just isn’t enough joy in it but Aamir and the stupendous action make this worth watching.

Srijana Mitra Das: 4 Stars
Dhoom 3 is slightly extensive. But it holds advantages, the first, that sizzling Dhoom tune, all leather, boots and electric guitars, which straightens sagging scenes. The second - sharp performances by Khan, Bachchan  and Chopra, who sprinkles lightness and fun. And the third - Dhoom 3's story with a twist wrapped around it, like the ribbon around a Christmas gift. Merrily unwrap - flying out of the Great Indian Circus, Dhoom 3 is great fun.


Sukanya Verma: 3 Stars
Realistically, of course, Dhoom is a fun albeit dumb franchise that is unapologetically nonsensical, intellect proof and relies on the shenanigans of its smooth, superficial villains and their hot pursuit at the hands of police officers. There are two vivid reasons I indulge (and enjoyed) this I know-that you know-that I know (classic Abbas-Mastanism) is because of the cunning and conviction in Aamir’s delivery and Katrina Kaif.

Rohit Khilnani: 2 Stars
Dhoom 3 is full of loop holes, over-the-top acting and an overdose of action that doesn't fit well all the time. The timing is right so the film will run to packed houses but it's surely not a film that I would recommend as your last outing for 2013!

R...Rajkumar

Overall Rating: 1.25/5

ShubhraGupta,The Indian Express: 0/5
I was left asking, why was R... Rajkumar made? It is nothing but blank putrid noise. R... for Rubbish. Zero star.

Saibal Chatterjee, NDTV: 1/5
The hero calls his lady love Lollypop. But expect no sweet delights. For the film, on its part, is pure poppycock. The only place that it should be heading to is the cleaners.


India TV: 1.5/5
Don’t mistake this masala entertainer as Prabhu Deva’s Wanted which made Salman Khan the action hunk overnight.

Daily Bhaskar: 2/5
Even if you are a big fan of no-brainer action thriller, we would suggest you to watch R…Rajkumar on TV.

First Post:
The most annoying film of 2013. If this is what you want to see in a movie, call me. I have a couch at home. We’ll talk about your life, your priorities, your cerebral harmony and what is best for you as a modern civilized human being. I can help. I promise.

 


Gayatri Shankar, Zee News:  1/5
Rajkumar is often heard saying, “be silent else I will get violent”. After watching the film, your sane senses would have been put to rest and hence you would take his advice very seriously and stay silent.

Watch the film only if you don’t love yourself!

One India: 1.5/5
R... Rajkumar is not even close to average. The film is loud, dramatic and over-the-top. I'm going with a generous one and half out of five rating.

TaranAdarsh, Bollywood Hungama : 1.5/5
Shahid is at home when he has to sing songs and romance Sonakshi, but looks far from convincing when he has to act as a super-hero

Paloma Sharma, Rediff:  1.5/5
R... Rajkumar has some catchy tunes with beats that capture the essence of the film such as Sari ke Falls sa. However, the music isn't at par with Pritam's previous works.
The film begins pretty well and Shahid entertains in bits but there's only so much he can do to make this kind of stuff work.
