American girl groupThe Pussycat Dolls recorded an English interpretation of 'Jai Ho'. Entitled 'Jai Ho! (You Are My Destiny)', and credited to 'A. R. Rahman and the Pussycat Dolls featuring Nicole Scherzinger', the song appeared on the re-release of the group's second studio album Doll Domination (2008).

Background[edit]

In 2008, while working on several films, A. R. Rahman received an email from Danny Boyle, the director of the film Slumdog Millionaire, stating: 'Hey I'm Danny Boyle, I like your work, and it would be great for us to have you on our film'. Rahman was unsure how to answer, but after exchanging several more emails, they met in Mumbai. Rahman summarized their first meeting by saying 'when I talked to him, I had some interest and I wanted to see the film. He had a first cut of the film already, and when I saw that I was really interested and wanted to do it. So I left another film to do this one. I made time for it'.^[2]

While composing the soundtrack to the Slumdog Millionaire, Rahman aimed to mix modern India with eighties Hindi film soundtracks. Boyle, who 'hated sentiment and cello', told Rahman to 'never put a cello in my film'. Boyle also insisted on a 'pulsey' score. Rahman stated that Boyle wanted 'edgy, upfront' music that did not suppress sound. He noted that 'There's not many cues in the film. Usually a big film has 130 cues. This had just seventeen or eighteen: the end credits, beginning credits'.^[3]

The soundtrack for Slumdog Millionaire took Rahman two months to plan and two weeks to complete. He recalled that: 'Usually it takes six months with the musical films I'm doing in India'. Rahman said the soundtrack 'isn't about India or Indian culture. The story could happen anywhere: China, Brazil, anywhere. Who Wants to Be a Millionaire is on in every damn country'.^[3]

Writing and composition[edit]

Jai Ho Hindi Song Dance

Rahman composed 'Jai Ho' using Logic Pro, a digital audio workstation and MIDIsequencer software application created by Apple Inc. At the time of the song's production, Rahman had been using the software for almost 12 years. For 'Jai Ho', Rahman made extensive use of Logic instruments, including the EXS24, which comprises the EVP88 electric piano and ES2 synth mixed with a few plugins, such as the Channel EQ, Bitcrusher and Guitar Amp Pro. The bassline and the 'trancey, arpeggiated' musical line used ES2 presets. For the 'long chorus vocals' in the song, Rahman created a 'robotic, stair-stepping pitch-bend effect' with Logic's Pitch Correction plugin to achieve the 'exaggerated tuning effect'.^[4]

The lyrics to 'Jai Ho' were written by Gulzar and are a combination of Hindi, Urdu and Punjabi. Lyrics in Spanish are also included in the song 'to go along with his [Rahman] Latin American touch of music'. According to the India-EU Film Initiative, this inclusion 'really makes the song quite unique and international'.^[1] Of the three singers credited, Sukhwinder Singh is the principal vocalist.^[5]Vijay Prakash sang the portion with the words 'Jai Ho', which takes a high pitch at numerous junctures of the song.^[6]Mahalakshmi Iyer sang the Hindi words between the 'Jai Ho' chants and the portions of the verses not sung by Singh.^[7] Tanvi Shah sang and wrote the song's Spanish words.^[8]

According to Rahman, 'Jai Ho' was meant to create 'a vision of the whole world celebrating this victory'.^[9] The song contains a mix of 'multiple motifs from the traditional pieces on the soundtrack' with 'the big drums and blasting horns of the present'.^[10] It was originally composed and shortlisted for Subhash Ghai's 2008 film Yuvvraaj. Although Rahman was excited about the song, Ghai 'wasn't too kicked about it'. Ghai felt it was 'too subtle and soft to be picturized on the character played by Zayed Khan'. Rahman and Gulzar believed the song had 'immense potential' and used it in Slumdog Millionaire.^[11] Following the song's win at the Oscar's, Rahman stated that: 'He [Ghai] said the words had a positive feel. It was like a prayer. I honestly didn't think the song would win me an Oscar though. But like the film Slumdog suggests, everything has its own destiny'.^[12]

When asked if he considers 'Jai Ho' as his best creation, Rahman stated: 'Sometimes it's not about a best creation, but the best for a particular moment of the film. 'Jai Ho' was right for that particular moment, that particular mindset in Slumdog Millionaire. I know there's lot of debate over this song winning the Oscars. But then, I didn't send the song to the Oscars, the makers did. I just composed the tune in three weeks and was done with it. However, I too feel 'Jai Ho' was apt for that particular moment in the film—the protagonist comes out of darkness and pain to light amid 'Jai Ho' hammering in the background.'^[13]

Critical response[edit]

'Jai Ho' received universally favorable reviews from music critics. Bhasker Gupta of AllMusic labelled the song a highlight of the soundtrack.^[14] Tajpal Rathore of BBC Music gave the song a positive review, calling it a 'quintessential Rahman track'. He praised Sukhwinder Singh, saying that he 'does an amazing job'.^[15] Sean Daly of the St. Petersburg Times called the song and its choreography 'brilliant'. He described it as 'two lovers consummating their long, winding courtship not with sex but a hand-waving, side-stepping, totally cathartic shimmy'.^[16]

Emily Heward of Music OMH called 'Jai Ho' an 'exuberant Bollywood dance number' that 'encapsulates the film's feel-good-factor, and reminds us just how much this score deserves the accolades it has already won and the many it is sure still to receive – just as India's most treasured composer deserves the new-found global recognition it has earned him'.^[17] In a review of the Slumdog Millionaire soundtrack, Joginder Tutej of Bollywood Hungama deemed 'Jai Ho' the 'flagship number' of the film. Tutej complimented Sukhwinder Singh's vocals as being 'energetic' and concluded that the singer 'can comfortably add on another big chartbuster to his name'. He also stated that the song, while 'boasting of an amazing mix of melody and rhythm' remains 'Indian at heart' and is 'instantly catchy'. He concluded that: 'No wonder, it is the lone promotional song of the film and also sees a music video being dedicated to it. Gulzar saab celebrates the spirit of love and life with 'Jai Ho' and infuses enough power in it that justifies all the nominations it is receiving today'.^[18]

Recognition[edit]

According to the India-EU Film Initiative 'Jai Ho' became 'the toast of the town in almost every part of the world'.^[1] They noted that: 'Music experts are listening to the song again and again to appreciate the global texture of the song and at the same time they are admiring the beauty of the lyrics by India's foremost lyricist Gulzar who, like AR Rahman, has always experimented with his narrative'.^[1] According to Sean Daly of the St. Petersburg Times: 'YouTube now has vids of babies and girlfriends doing this Jai Ho dance. There are remixes and tributes, too'.^[16]

'Jai Ho' received an Academy Award for Best Original Song at the 81st Academy Awards on 22 February 2009.^[19][20] The song beat out WALL-E's 'Down to Earth' by Peter Gabriel and 'O.. Saya', also of Slumdog Millionaire, by A. R. Rahman and M.I.A.^[21] 'Jai Ho' also received a Grammy Award for Best Song Written for a Motion Picture during the 52nd Grammy Awards on 31 February 2010.^[22] The song received a nomination from the Broadcast Film Critics Association for Best Song during its 2008 award ceremony on 8 January 2009.^[23][24] The Houston Film Critics Society nominated it for Best Original Song during its 2008 awards ceremony on 17 December 2008.^[25][26] It was also nominated by the MTV Movie Awards for Best Song From a Movie during its 2009 award ceremony on 31 May 2009.^[27]

Live performances[edit]

Rahman and Singh performed 'Jai Ho' live during the 81st Academy Awards on 22 February 2009, the night it won for the award for Best Original Song. The song served as the opening of the ceremony. The song's lyricist, Gulzar, made a guest appearance during the performance. Rahman modified the song to 'set it in sync with the live orchestra and make it suitable for a stage presentation'.^[28]

'Jai Ho' was performed as part of a medley with 'Jiyo Utho Badho Jeeto' during the 2010 Delhi Commonwealth Games opening ceremony on 28 August 2010.^[29][30] Rahman, who wore a white bandhgala jacket, black pants and white shoes, was accompanied by hundreds of dancers wearing traditional Indian costumes. Following the performance of 'Jiyo Utho Badho Jeeto', fireworks went off and 'Jai Ho' began. An editor from Sify wrote that, during the performance of 'Jai Ho', 'the chant at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, many would swear, was magical'.^[30]

Usage in media[edit]

In March 2009, Super Cassettes Industries (T-Series), the music company which holds the song's copyright for India, received nearly $200,000 from the governing Indian National Congress party for its use in its national campaign in 2009 Indian General Elections.^[31][32] Harindra Singh, vice-chairman and managing director of the advertising firm Percept, told BBC that: 'The tune of the song and the Jai Ho phrase have been used in the campaign. The lyrics have been written by a combination of people, they will be projecting what the Congress wishes to communicate'. 'Popular Bollywood numbers' are often 're-jigged' by political parties in India to 'convey their message to voters', but this is the first time that a party has ever bought exclusive rights to use a song for political promotion.^[31] The version used in the campaign features altered lyrics sung by Sukhwinder Singh, who performed on the original song. A video was also shot for this version.^[33] Rahman refused to comment on 'Jai Ho' being used for the campaigns, but stated that the song 'belongs to everyone'.^[34] 'Jai Ho' was performed by Ravi K Tripathi, a Lucknow-based singer, at the closing ceremony of 16th Asian Games on 27 November 2010.^[35]

English adaption[edit]

American girl group the Pussycat Dolls recorded an English interpretation of 'Jai Ho'. Entitled 'Jai Ho! (You Are My Destiny)', and credited to 'A. R. Rahman and the Pussycat Dolls featuring Nicole Scherzinger', the song appeared on the re-release of the group's second studio album Doll DominationDownload sketchup 2017. (2008). After watching Slumdog Millionaire, record executives Ron Fair and Jimmy Iovine wanted to turn 'Jai Ho' into a 'pop record without deviating from the original melody'.^[36]

After getting a green-light from Rahman, they asked Scherzinger, the leader singer of the Pussycat Dolls, to write an interpretation of the song. Scherzinger was hesitant at first, stating in an interview that: '[..] I was scared to death to touch it [and] afraid for people to hear it before I even wrote it'.^[37] Scherzinger put her 'heart into writing the lyrics and put in themes from the film Slumdog Millionaire. Love and destiny were elements from the movie that she put into the track'. She stated that she 'prayed every night to do this right'.^[38] Fair and Iovine additionally hired Brick & Lace, The Writing Camp and Ester Dean to write their own interpretation of the song.^[39]

E. Kidd Bogart, a member of The Writing Camp, stated that: 'They [Fair and Iovine] wanted to get a bunch of different versions to see who could nail a version for the Pussycat Dolls'. Once all interpretations were complete, 'they [Fair and Iovine] took parts of The Writing Camp version, parts of Ester Dean's version, and parts of another version, and they put them together, and then Nicole [Scherzinger] and Ron [Fair] filled in the blanks that they thought were missing'. Bogart additionally stated that it was 'a very unique and awkward way of writing a song'.^[39] Bogart, Dean, Fair, Erika Nuri, David Quiñones, Scherzinger, Candace Thorbourne, Nailah Thorbourne and Nyanda Thorbourne are credited for writing the track, while its production was handled by Fair Scherzinger.^[40] The song was recorded in London, while Scherzinger and Rahman corresponded via webcam.^[36]

Music critics responded generally favorably to 'Jai Ho (You Are My Destiny)'. Newsround praised the song by saying '[Nicole Scherzinger] sounds right at home – making the most of her soulful R&B voice and hitting all the (incredibly) high notes on this Eastern-themed piece of pop!'^[41] Nick Levine from Digital Spy wrote that, 'The Hindi original, which soundtracks the Bollywood dance routine at the end of the movie, is far more urgent and atmospheric, but this remake works nicely enough as a slick, shamelessly opportunistic PCD single. Well, that hollered 'JAI HO!' makes for a pretty sweet pop hook, you have to admit'.^[42]

Spanish?[edit]

Has anyone seen any interviews or other coverage in which the choice to include Spanish lyrics is explained? It seems rather out of place in a Hindi song from an Indian movie. LordAmeth (talk) 19:18, 12 February 2009 (UTC)

It's apparently quite common for there to be Spanish in Hindi songs, or so I've heard. 67.84.39.48 (talk) 21:01, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

Why does the article say the lyrics are in Portuguese? I'm pretty sure that's Spanish, but I don't speak either language so I could be wrong - can someone confirm?PolliPog (talk) 01:39, 27 February 2009 (UTC)

It would make more sense for the lyrics to be in Portuguese, since there is a sizable population in India (primarily in Goa, where, incidentally, Freida Pinto is from) that speaks Portuguese. But, we need to check and be sure. --Hnsampat (talk) 20:40, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

Except AR Rahman is not a Goan and has nothing to do with Goa. The lyrics are in Spanish. 24.184.166.238 (talk) 22:59, 10 April 2009 (UTC)Neel

spanish is commonly used in hindi songs,but then portuguese is more likely to be used in this context.portuguese has not been used in any famous hindi songs but Mr.Rehman has always tried to break trends —Preceding unsigned comment added by Longgonedude (talk • contribs) 16:17, 28 March 2009 (UTC)

Incorrect pronunciation of 'Jai Ho' in the Pussycat Dolls version.[edit]

Any comments on this? I wonder why it seems that no one thought to correct Nicole on her pronunciation of 'Jai Ho'? It should be pronounced to rhyme with 'high ho', not 'hey ho'! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 140.161.102.43 (talk) 21:57, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

Apparently we're all supposed to pretend that it doesn't occur. It's not like everybody in the world can't hear her mangling the words, she's singing over the correct pronunciation after all. Doc Mayhem (talk) 16:14, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

'Jai' doesn't exactly rhyme with 'high' either. Listen to the original song again. 24.184.166.238 (talk) 23:01, 10 April 2009 (UTC)Neel

By pronouncing 'Jai Ho!' as 'jay Ho!' she has changed the language from Hindi to Bengali another indian regional language,though i don't think this was intentional. 16:19, 28 March 2009 (UTC)

Actually in Bengali, it's 'Joy Ho.' I'm pretty sure Nicole Scherzinger was trying to pronounce 'jeh' properly, but it comes out as 'jay' with her American accent. 128.238.142.68 (talk) 15:01, 15 April 2009 (UTC)Poly

In the Pussycat Dolls version, A. R. Rahman says 'Jay Ho' too. He wrote the song, I'm sure he wouldn't have mispronounced the word by mistake. 13:05, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

Lol, in the PCD version AR Rahman's vocals are the SAME as the ones used in original. And no he doesn't sing 'jay,' he sings 'jeh.' You can hear a clear difference in his and Nicole's pronunciation. It just comes down to accent difference. Example: Lots of Americans can't pronounce the Spanish word 'tres' properly; it comes out rhyming with stress lol. 24.184.166.238 (talk) 02:53, 25 April 2009 (UTC)Neel Kaul

The Hindi word 'jai' sounds almost exactly like the English word 'jay,' especially when spoken with an American accent. Pronouncing 'jai' as rhyming with 'high' is an unfortunately all-too-common way of mispronouncing the word in the West. 'Jai ho' indeed rhymes with 'hey ho.' --Hnsampat (talk) 22:03, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

No, it sounds like 'jeh' not 'jay.' It only sounds like 'jay' when you say that word with an Indian accent, and most Americans obviously won't pronounce like it. 24.184.166.238 (talk) 02:53, 25 April 2009 (UTC)Neel Kaul

The Devanagari script used for Hindi is 100% phonetic, that is, the written word completely and uniquely determines its pronunciation. So you can't pronounce them in whatever way you like. Jai = जय, to learn to pronounce it, first say 'jaya', then remove the last 'a' while keeping the consonant sound of 'y' and pronounce it again. That would be the correct pronunciation.117.197.23.46 (talk) 10:51, 27 May 2010 (UTC)

My point is that 'jai' does not rhyme with 'high.' --Hnsampat (talk) 18:29, 25 April 2009 (UTC)

Beethoven?[edit]

In the first part of the song, there is a few notes that reminds me of a Beethoven song but I cannot place it. Since A.R.Rahman was a fan of Beethoven and western classical music, maybe reference the song that he used for the beginning of Jai Ho. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.162.196.184 (talk) 03:55, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

Review[edit]

All seems to be ok. Just two things:

External links modified[edit]

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified one external link on Jai Ho (song). Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

• Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20100206212418/http://ultrabrown.com/posts/jai-ho-rahman to http://www.ultrabrown.com/posts/jai-ho-rahman

When you have finished reviewing my changes, you may follow the instructions on the template below to fix any issues with the URLs.
