It was remade into [[Hindi]] as ''[[Jai Ho (film)|Jai Ho]]'' in 2014.

== Plot ==
The only mission in Stalin's ([[Chiranjeevi]]) life is to help others and make the world a better place. It turns out that he served as a Major in the [[Indian Army]]. Although a war hero, he quit the army after a rift with Lt. Col. Iqbal Kakar ([[Mukesh Rishi]]) when he transfers him to the [[administrative division]] from the battlefield as a disciplinary action. His family includes his mother ([[Sharada Urvashi|Sharada]]) and sister Jhansi ([[Khushbu Sundar]]), who is not in talking terms with their mother since she married a [[Punjabi people|Punjabi]].

Stalin keeps helping a physically challenged girl named Sumati write her intermediate examination, and her [[suicide]] disturbs him. The death occurs as none of the people around her extend help. Stalin then plans a chain system. The theme works on a principle that everyone should help others, and in return, they should not seek a mere thanks but tell those who get the help to help three more, with a condition that those who get help from them should also demand the same. Stalin thinks that this chain will develop helping attitude among the people but unfortunately finds that the chain did not work. On one occasion, he bashes a rich boy who injured a beggar.

This goes in a chain reaction, and the rich boy employs goons to attack Stalin. As Stalin disappears from the scene, the goons take Jhansi and her friend Chitra ([[Trisha (actress)|Trisha]]) into their custody. Stalin reaches the spot and hacks the hand of one goon which happens to be the henchman of an MLA ([[Pradeep Rawat (actor)|Pradeep Rawat]]), who is the son-in-law of [[Home Minister]] Muddu Krishnayya ([[Prakash Raj]]). Krishnayya takes it as a prestige issue and tries to eliminate Stalin but loses his son ([[Riyaz Khan]]) in the process. When the [[Chief Minister]] intervenes to bring in a patch-up, Krishnayya plans to kill him and implicate Stalin in the murder. Stalin saves the injured Chief Minister but gets a severe chest pain due to exertion.

The reason for the chest pain is a bullet which remained in his chest, very near to his heart. Stalin sustains the bullet injury in the [[Kargil War]], and that was why Iqbal shifted him to the administrative department. Finally, the truth prevails, and the CM returns to the hospital to visit Stalin. The "help three people" concept was his brainchild, which saved him from death in the form of a schoolgirl. Finally, the doctors successfully remove the bullet in a very delicate surgery. Krishnayya also gets arrested. Stalin comes to know that his "help three people" concept worked well, and the same theme saved his life in the form of an auto driver. He thanks all the people for making his concept a success.

==Reception==
===Critical reception===
The film received mixed to positive reviews. Jeevi of ''idlebrain.com'' praised the performances of Chiranjeevi and Khushboo and stated that "First half of the film is pretty mediocre as there is no conflict thread in terms of villain. Second half is better from the moment villain enters the scene. The last 20 minutes of the film stands out with very good emotions."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.idlebrain.com/movie/archive/mr-stalin.html|title=Stalin - Telugu cinema Review - Chiranjeevi & Trisha|website=www.idlebrain.com}}</ref> ''Sify.com'' gave it 3 on 5 stars as well and stated "The much hyped Murugadoss directed Stalin does not have Chiru as the comic book superhero in the first half. He is basically a do-gooder for his fellow-men as he attempts to make the world a better place to live. Chiru in such a role may or may not work with the masses but in this refreshingly different role, he is cool with a capital C." ''Indiaglitz.com'' also commented "Director Murugadoss, who made us all sit up and take notice through Tagore (story) and Ghajini, once again underlines his talent for making a wholesome and powerful mass masala movie. In Chiranjeevi, he has somebody who can bring to life any kind of idea he (Murugadoss) has. Chiranjeevi, it seems, has been particular about the 'message' aspect — at his stature and seniority, he had every reason to be."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.indiaglitz.com/stalin-telugu-movie-review-8093|title=Stalin review.
