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.
Never underestimate the power of the common man, SRK had grandly told us and his adversaries in Chennai Express last year.
It is now Salman Khan’s turn to warn the world of the grave perils of needling the common man.
He growls at the film’s halfway point: the aam aadmi is a sleeping tiger; don’t provoke him or else…
Should we say jai ho to that? We might have felt inclined to lend our voices to that cry of jubilation if only the film had a little more to offer by way of common sense.
Jai Ho is a sluggish film with a preponderance of action sequences thrown in at regular intervals.
It also has a painfully pedestrian romantic track(involving a girl whose unmentionables form an integral part of the storyline).
