Wait! Was that a sexy face he made (at the 1:37 mark) or were the lights just blinding him? 😉

  3. ROFL @ Kanta Bai on steroids.

    At 1.37, to me it looked like the lights were blinding him. But I wasn’t watching all that closely.

    Hate what they did to this brilliant song. The simple moves that were used in the movie made sense with the context. But not in this music video. I really dislike the wierd clothes they are wearing.

  4. They’ve cheapened the song..took away all the carefree fun/masti from the original number. This song is meant for all the dancing underdogs out there and I love the way Dev Patel + FP dance in the original..this version is too risque !!!yikes!!!

  5. LOLZZZ @ Pri
    and i agree…they ruined the song. now this PCD version is gonna play in my mind when i listen to the original next time. sad.

    there’s one more reason why i dont like this blingy indian look on nicole. slumdog tried to showcase india without the usual stereotype of overwhelming costumes n dance songs. now these versions of jai ho are reversing what slumdog accomplished. y does the name india relate to dance songs with dozens of people and blingy outfits?

  6. Oh my Lord, they actually made a music video.

    They couldn’t even get a couple of brown extras? It is a Hindi song, after all.

    I’m disturbed. Very disturbed.

    I don’t mind the song acutally, at least it SOUNDS pretty (if you don’t listen to the words) and the PCD have done wonders for my cardio

  8. The lead singer could pass for Indian. AR is looking very cute but looks out of place in this video.

    On aside, didn’t Sukwinder Singh sing this song on the soundtrack?

  12. ROTFL at Kantabai on sterioids:))))
    I really wish this tacky song never happened..it’s such a disgrace to Rehman…I’m surprised he even allowed his song to be remixed.

  13. This was wrong on so many levels. Even after having being styled in sarees from Rocky S, an unimaginative yellow saree blouse and tacky bhandini green dupata was the best these people can do. Granted I understand that slumdog was trying to show that there was more to india than pretty clothes and 8 min dance seq, but for the love of god no wonder(most) non-indians, have such a horrible and limited idea of what dressing indian is. If we were going to be protrayed to the global mass media i would have hoped that they would do us justice and bring to the light some of the amazing and innovative designers we have. And the dance moves…..i don’t know what to say. Overall very disappointing.

  15. I think you should look at the like this,,, pussy cat can make this song famous in west and it is great way to promote indian culture and art in west,,hey the lead singer of the pussy cat dolls, I dont know her name, is the first westren who looks good in indian cloths, she actually looks like Shilpa Shetty a little..as for Rahman, I wish we in Afghanistan have peple like you with principle to introduce our art to west,, we do have Khalid Hussini so far and that is about it

  17. Ummm okay, i assume this song would be copyrighted and anyone could do a remake only with A.R Rahmans permission. but i wonder how on earth could he agree to something like this, let alone be a part of it? the come hither lyrics with the barbie doll, butterfaced PCDs just take away the essence of the song which is about victory.
    S-I-G-H

    I mean to think that a band like coldplay has turned dowm multimillion dollar contracts several times and here is A.R Rahman promoting something very disappointing (tried to use the mildest word). why ARR!! WHY???

  18. ok honestly this video makes me so sad. till now this song meant the ‘victory of hope’ to me. everytime i hear this song i think of jay patel and freida and the unity of their love and how destiny is so unpredictable and how dreams can come true and how good things happen to good people.

    BUT THIS!!!??? what is she trying to say in this song?? why is a guy following her in the middle of no where?? its so tacky and so unnecessarily vulgar! skin show is needed for songs that have no soul and need any form of extra help to work/make money. a song like ‘Jai ho’ can stand by itself – and strong!!
