I accidentally watched this film 5 years ago on Hotstar, when I was confused between this and Kick. Since both these films came at the same time and I rarely used to watch TV back in 2014, so I thought both those trailers were of the same film. I wanted to watch Kick but watched this instead, which is why I hated this film more than I was supposed to (although I later watched Kick and didn't like it either). And I won't lie to you - Jai Ho feels like an ad for endorsing Salman Khan. It has him shown as a super strong guy who can't tolerate injustice and...yeah, that's pretty much it.
Jai Ho is about a man named Jai Agnihotri, who doesn't tolerate seeing injustice happening around him. And when he gets beaten up, he 'turns into an animal' and attacks everyone around him (turning himself into an animal = shouting 'gaaaaaah!' in the ear of the one about to take a beating). This film is something I would call the fantasy of every innocent man. Tell me, don't you also feel like beating up entire mobs when you see someone being harassed. Trust me, I do. And that's the reason why I have not given this film a 1 star rating. Because that is the only part I like about this film.
So Jai's sister elopes with and marries a Muslim man because she didn't want her mother to ask questions about his background (Love Jihad Logic 101: Always run with a middle aged uncle to defy your parents just because he is a Muslim). Jai is pretty cool with it, and he always tells people to not say thank you. Instead they should help 3 people, and tell them to help 3 more people. With the help of this scene we are able to know Jai is a good person and Pulkit Samrat is an honest guy because he can do basic maths. Also Jai was expelled from the army because he didn't follow orders so boohoo to that.
Now that we have talked about the good guys, let's talk about the bad ones. The Home Minister, Dashrat Singh is played by Danny Denzongpa, who somehow gives the vibes of an evil version of Kiren Rijiju. His daughter is evil because she was talking on the phone and laughing when she was first shown (I'm not kidding, they actually show her to be evil because of this). And there is this girl who doesn't have hands and so she commits suicide because she got late. And her brother files a case against Dashrat Singh because I don't know. Then Dashrat Singh's son kills him in the most girly way possible (that's right mister, showing your body and tearing off Salman Khan's shirt won't make you manly).
In the end Sunil Shetty brings a military tank, the people mob lynch the Home Minister of India and everyone lives happily ever after. There are many filler scenes too like that. There's a kid who tags along with Jai and he actually came wearing Pinky's clothes in public because she took his towel and wore it as a skirt. There was also the 'innocent' girl with a wooden hand who tells a politician to help 3 people, and that makes him realise Jai is a good guy. There is also the wedding scene but there's too much cringe to digest in one film, so I'll let you do the watching.
When I look back and remember Jai Ho, it really makes me wonder how this film possibly got made. It most definitely didn't have a screenplay. The action scenes look like the director had a REEEEE moment when he decided it, the funny scenes look like they wanted to bring in Sooraj Barjatya family entertainment and the emotions don't work at all. This is a terrible copy of a South Indian film and a 2.5 hour long ad for Salman Khan, and I mean all of this in a wrong way.
