superindrajit Salman Khan after a disappointing 2008 starts 2009 on a good note. Wanted released after GTGH and Yuvraaj, this film became a super hit at the box office. However, after this success eluded him till Dabangg(2010). The movie was directed by Veteran dancer Prabhu Deva and scripted by Puri Jagganath who directed Bbudha Hoga Tera Baap.Wanted tells the story of Radhe a hit-man who works for anyone who pays him money. There are 2 opposing gangs, and Radhe works for one of them. There is inspector Ashraf Khan who swears to get rid of crime once and for all in Mumbai. There is Jhanvi who falls for Radhe but doesn't like his profession. There is also Talpade a very bad inspector who works for Gani Bhai the don and main villain. Gani Bhai get's his rivals killed after which his gang nabs the commissioners daughter. From her, they come to know that there is an undercover cop in their gang. There is a huge twist and watch the film to find out who the officer is and how Gani Bhai and his people end up dead in the climax.The story is not novel but the movie is not bad for a Masala entertainer. There are hardcore action scenes as well as many comic and light hearted scenes. The movie shifts well from the violent action scenes to the light hearted scenes which is a good thing. The entire Radhe-Pavle track and the Radhe-Gani Bhai track is well handled. The dialogs are good and solid one liners are what Masala Entertainers require for applause. Masses went crazy for this film and Salman's career got a good 2009 start with this film.Direction by Prabhu Deva is good, he handles many scenes well and he has also danced well in the Jalwa song. His direction works well because his direction also made sure the tempo of the film is well maintained. The story keeps you focused and the twist nearing the end is brilliantly handled.Sajid Wajid's music is good. While the Dil Leke, Love Me, and Jalwa are good songs, the rest are just fillers. Action is superb though the overdose of violence is a bit too much. The violence is the main reason the film got an A Certificate. However, the movie still rocks because the action scenes are superb. Dialogs are a major plus point, they entertain all the way and applause are guaranteed. EK BAAR JO MAINE COMMITEMENT KAR DI, MEIN APNI AAP KA BHI NAHI SUNTA dialog is superb.Salman Khan is the USP of this film, he does a fantastic job, his action, his dialogs, his expressions all are brilliantly portrayed. Ayesha Takia does good as the heroine, she has more to do than any other heroine in these kind of movies. Mahesh Manjrekar is a corrupt cop and he does a good job portrayed his role. Prakash Raj is hilarious as the villain, however he did better in Singham. The rest provide good support.On the whole, Wanted is another Salman Khan action film which broke many records and ruled at the box office. It is good to see Salman do these kind of films but what would've been better is the actions scenes were less violent.

sumanbarthakursmailbox Salman Khan-starrer Wanted is a film that makes no bones, no pretences about the fact that it'll do anything to get a reaction out of you. It's loud, vulgar, offensive, violent, cold-blooded, dumb, and silly. But that's all part of the design. Salman stars as a glum hit-man-for-hire named Radhe who, for the right price, will bump off rival gang-members like he's snapping twigs. Radhe can take as many as 10 to 12 scoundrels at a time; he dodges bullets, leaps across scaffoldings, and smashes through glass panes without so much as a scratch. In between such nefarious activities, Radhe's eyes fall on a middle-class girl named Janhavi (played by Ayesha Takia), who is drawn to his rakish charm. The city, meanwhile, is gripped by a surge of crime; rival gangs attack each other in broad daylight, cops are mixed with crooks, and the body count keeps rising. When criminal kingpin, and head of the gang that Radhe works for, Gani (played by Tamil actor Prakash Raj) arrives from his secret hideout in the far East, hoping to settle scores with a friend-turned-foe, the police swings into action. Even as Janhavi fobs off the advances of a lecherous, corrupt cop (played by Mahesh Manjrekar), a sudden unexpected twist takes everyone by surprise. A shrewd, old-fashioned entertainer that plays to the galleries, Wanted is exaggerated and formulaic, but relies squarely on the charm of its leading man to pull off its over-the-top tone. The good news is, Salman Khan appears to be having a rollicking good time. He throws himself completely into the film's visceral action portions, which include scenes of gruesome stabbings, bone-crunching freefalls and ear-drum splitting shootouts. He even puts his casual, laidback style of dialogue delivery to good use in the film's romantic and comic scenes. There's a running joke in the film that involves Ayesha Takia's character Janhavi and her pasta-containing lunchbox which she never seems to offer Radhe. Watch him in the scene at a railway platform where he finally confronts her for never sharing her pasta with him. Rare moments like these have you guffawing in your seat.Where Wanted slips is in its pacing. While early portions of the film move at a breakneck speed, allowing you little time to even ponder the ridiculousness of what's going on, the film's second half drags on and on, leaving you bored and exhausted by the time the end credits finally roll. Inevitably, comparisons will be drawn with Ghajini, but that film – despite its similarly violent premise – had a coherent plot at its core. Wanted like I told you earlier, doesn't even pretend to make sense. Directed by ace choreographer Prabhu Deva, Wanted is a remake of his Tamil film, Pokiri, which was itself adapted from a Telugu original. The Hindi version, much like the previous films, goes for broad humour and cheap thrills. At times downright stupid and unapologetically excessive, Wanted is a B-grade crowd-pleaser that knows exactly who its audience is. The film is a showcase not so much for Salman's acting, but for his scorching screen-presence and his infectious enthusiasm for dancing. Film after film the actor has been accused of sleepwalking through his roles; this time he's wide awake and having a blast. For die-hard fans of the star who don't have a problem with extreme violence and juvenile comedy, this might be a treat. For others though, it's strictly average entertainment.Carry cotton for your ears and a Crocin for the headache.

Manoj Arya Gajhini started it with its hundred and fifty crores of business. Span is widened. Suddenly Hollywoodland is not the only place filmmakers are limited to lay their hands on source material especially for action movies. Wanted by what I gather from around is the most wanted film for makers and takers as well. Originally made in Tamil as Pokiri, followed by Telugu remake and now here it is B-grade B-version. Each shares genes of a superstar of their native woodlands with the other. Ours stars Salman Khan and Wanted is destined to be a hit for sure. Producer Boney Kapoor imports director from South, elastic Prabhu Deva (debut) and casts one of Bollywood superstar. Name is Radhe, just Radhe, a killer for hire who can take on an entire army and can action sequences starts like a video game with Sallu taking controls just thrashing till game over. "I work for money", he says without flinching it as its most self- marketed line and a principle together. His employers are city mafia dons. Everyone is eager to buy his services and his loyalty. Salman stands in mid-fight of two gangs making room for plenty of brainless action whacking, thrashing, crushing bones, clenching fists and flying fury and whirling beaten up goons bodies crashing. Apart from lynching the killer has heart too and he loses it to bubbly Ayesha Takia. She works in a call-centre and has extra-fit body, thanks to her regular aerobics which hero and villain (Mahesh Manjarekar plays the filthy cop) equally appreciate. And by the way there is twist ending to win more applause from Khan Aficionados and justify this theatre of cruelty. Salman apparently looks awake after so many sleepwalks in previous endeavors. He is in his full superstar mode and I can hear whistles and applauses from front rows. This is a ridiculously over the top B-grade entertainment targeted for mass pumped with South Indian steroids. If you are Salman Khan you are anyway going to see it. Rest and whoever would want to keep safe distance from Wanted.

rajandey Wanted.... a movie many of us have been waiting for. It has already been declared the biggest blockbuster of 2009. I just got back from this movie and I just have to say one thing : THIS, is what Salman Khan is about!One movie in which you get it all! ; Marvelous acting, awesome comic timing, fantastic dance moves, good performed action!All done by the one and only Salman Khan!Let me start off telling about the story, though it's not the best ever story around, the story is good. Different than the usual boy-meets-girl stories. The story is about gangs and the underworld dons v/s each other v/s the police. Prabhudeva proves he not only has dance talent, but also amazing story telling abilities. The story was told very differently, other than the usual underworld movies bollywood has produced (Sanjay Dutt movies. The movie has a lot of comic moments, they were not over the top.. just perfect enough to make you laugh! Though I have a slight complaint against the songs that just popped op at places, the melodious music and great choreography made me forget the problem.Ayesha Takia hasn't forgotten how to act for sure, she not only looks great, but acts very well too! I sure hope this lady continues acting even though there are rumours about her quitting acting.Prakash Raj as Ghani Bhai has done the role very convincingly. The scene where he's not supposed to sleep is simply hilarious!Mahesh Manjrekar is effective as the very corrupt bastard cop. He ones again proves how versatile he is.And now... SALMAN KHAN... the man that made this movie what it is. Wanted is a pure Salman movie, the movie shines because of him. He's done the role exceptionally well. Though Salman hasn't seen many commercial successes the past few years.. I personally believe things will go very smooth for him post Wanted! I am very satisfied with Wanted and look forward to Salmans future releases! THUMBS UP WANTED!P.S. Wanted.. Salmans comeback vehicle? Hell no, are you telling me he was gone?
