'Jai Ho' has realistic action and an apt soundtrack
Salman
Khan will be fighting bad men by the
dozen in Sohail Khan's Jai Ho. But, his stuntbaazi is believed to have 'realistic' stamped all over it. And when he's not breaking bones, he's inspiring people around him and serenading Daisy Shah. The movie also features Tabu, Danny Denzongpa and Sana Khan.
Thrills galore
Talking about action, there's plenty of maaramaari and less of gunshots. Action director Anl Arasu attributes the thrills to the character and the kind of person Salman is. "The emotion and anger the protagonist feels, is communicated through the action," he says, adding that a scene in which Salman thrashes bad guys when they provoke him by harrassing Tabu is one apt example. "I'm sure that the action will have the audience rooting for Jai (Salman) because of the kind of person he is. The climax was not easy to execute as it was shot at a few locations. Not to forget a bike chase sequence."
In the same vein, Bangalore-based Ravi Verma, who has also choreographed the thrills, says, "Wanted, Dabangg, Bodyguard etc, set a pattern. Salman bhai suggested we go real. So, when the bike rams into the car, it doesn't fly." His favourite is the superstar's first action sequence right after his introductory bracelet scene. "The military action is a new element, which you've to see to know how particular we were about the stunts," he sums up.

7 Bollywood Diva Debutantes Who Disappeared Without A Trace
Every other Friday, we encounter a “fresh face” in a Bollywood film, who incidentally, is touted to be the next big thing and before you know it, she disappears without a trace. :(
Ever noticed that this happens way too often with Salman Khan’s leading ladies? *Eerie* It’s almost like these debutantes get sucked in to a black hole and are transported to a secret island where they are forced to watch reruns of their failed films. Okay, so enough with the morbidity, here are 7 Bollywood Debuntates Who Disappeared Without A Trace:
1. Sneha Ullal
Her lips weren’t so lucky after all! Most popularly known as Aishwarya Rai’s doppleganger, Sneha Ulal failed to move Bollywood. Her film- LUCKY .

2. Zarine Khan
It’s rather unfortunate that Zarine Khan had to start her career with a film like Veer but this isn’t a testimony to her acting prowess. Zarine Khan did a jig here and there and then hopped on the fast train to oblivion.
3. Sonal Chauhan
Also known as numer 144237 on Emraan Hashmi’s hit list, Sonal Chauhan left Hollywood for a cushy spot on Pg3. Yes, she isn’t doing anything. Movie - jannat & 3G .
4. Shriya Saran
If you’re scratching your head trying to recall who she is, we don’t need to explain further.
5. Gayatri Joshi
She was pretty damn great in Swades, it’s a shame we didn’t see more of her.
6. Sagarika Ghatge
She was going to be the IT girl of Bollywood, what with all the publicity she got during Chak De. It all amounted to nothing.
7. Gracy Singh
Why Gracy Why, why would you deliberately work with Kamaal R Khan? We all shed a tear at the time.
