Jai Ho sees Sohail Khan return to directing after Maine Dil Tujhko Diya (2002), his debut film as an actor. Jai Ho is yet another remake of a Telugu hit, Stalin, starring Chiranjeevi and Trisha. Sohali’s version stars Salman Khan, Tabu and Danny Denzongpa in pivotal roles.
Music has been composed by Sajid-Wajid (Dabangg franchise) and Amal Malik with Devi Sri Prasad as guest composer. Vocal talents consist of Wajid, Shreya Ghoshal, Shaan, Palak Mucchal and Himesh Reshammiya amongst others. The album features 9 tracks including 3 remixes.
Baaki Sab First Class is a satirical number sung by Wajid. The lyrics (Sajid, Irfan Kamal, Danish Sabri) are impressive however the repetitive dhol beats gets old quickly and Wajid’s rendition, while decent, suffers from a serious case of been-there-done-that. The remix of the track is equally unremarkable.

If you haven't seen Thanks Maa! yet, we suggest you do. The film released much before Slumdog Millionaire and is easily a more candid perception of how slum kids really do live on the streets of Mumbai. The film has already won immense accolades from critics who believe that the film is honest and brutal. Director Irfan Kamal has already picked up a National Award for his debut film and while it wasn't heavily promoted, it did manage to gain much hearsay via the chatter of those who had seen the masterpiece, as it has been deemed by many. The film follows the life of slum kids who find themselves in a rather strange position after they find an abandoned baby. But enough praise for the film from us, BollySpice speaks to the director of the film as he talks about the difficulties of making such a film and the critical acclaim Thanks Maa!

He’s 12 and homeless. And he refuses to adopt the swaggering amorality of his friends on the street. They call him Municipal Ghatkopar because that’s the address where he was dumped as a child. But he prefers to be known as Salman Khan.
Salman, you fear may appear in this uplifting tale of street children with a mission. Happily, no Salman. Not in Thanks Maa.
Strongly reminiscent of Mira Nair’s Salaam Bombay and far more resonantly representative of Mumbai’s slum kids than Slumdog Millionaire, Thanks Maa is a journey into lives that were born into despair.
Without the crutches of self-pity, debutant director Irfan Kamal enters the world of the orphaned protagonist Municipality who on one of those routine days of scavenging, stealing and hanging around with his friends waiting for the next meal comes across an abandoned little infant.

The director of Thanks Maa is keen that actor Salman Khan see his film, but the actor doesn’t seem to have the time. “Salman plays an important role in the film. The young protagonist’s character is a big fan and we see posters of Salman’s films throughout the film. I badly wanted to show my film to him. But he is too busy,” said director Irfan Kamal. ...

Movie Review: Thanks Maa; Star cast: Master Shams Patel, Master Salman, Master Fayaaz, Master Jaffar, Baby Almas, Alok Nath, Barry John and Sanjay Mishra; Director: Irfan Kamal; Rating: **** – An outstanding film.
Salman Khan a.k.a. Municipality Ghatkopar (master Shams Patel), Soda (master Salman), Cutting (master Fayaaz), Dedh Shaana (master Jaffar) and Sursuri (baby Almas) are five slum-dwellers who bond well and do odd jobs, besides picking people’s pockets, for a living. Municipality Ghatkopar is the most principled of the lot and he is very sad about the.

Thanks Maa Cast: Shams Patel Direction: Irfan Kamal Rating: ** The little homeless kid Jamal, err, Salman, holds around his arms, an infant, nicely wrapped in a crisp, white cloth. He’d found the newborn outside a bolster home, while trying to escape the children’s prison. The baby is all of a few months old. The boy is determined to find the baby’s mother. He carries the infant around, hurling him across the city, through the narrow gullies, and over days. The severely unfed just-born, awkwardly held, remains quiet, soundly sleeps through the proceedings. For a picture that rightly prides itself on its realism, ...
