Story of Wanted: Radhe (Salman Khan) is a hardcore crook and a sharpshoo with movie razor sharp brain. He entireness for Gani Bhai (Prakash Raj), the dreaded gangster, but on his own terms. He does not fancy working for any boss, but for money. He changaes loyalties only if the money is right. Radhe entireness his way into Gani Bhai’s gang. Gani bhai’s brother dies in the movie and the don is forced to verify matters in his hands and returns to India. . At the same time, there is a lecherous police officer who lusts for Jhanvi(Ayesha Takia) who falls in love with Radhe inspite of knowing that he is from a malefactor background.

Plus points of Wanted: Wanted is Salman Khan’s comeback vehicle, and this movie will spiral him into top spot. The action in the movie is amazing and full assign to Vijayan Master, the man who was also the stunt director for the Telegu and Tamil Pokhiris, for reaching up with stunning stunts. The comic track is also good sufficiency and so is the cute romantic track. After a daylong time, we have a full on masala entertainer film, a pause from the boring, candifloss movies and inane comedies that dominated 2009. Wanted is the best example of a instruction flick that works.
Minus points of Wanted: Music is a big disappointment in Wanted. Unlike the movie Pokiri and Tamil Pokkiri, the Hindi edition Wanted falls short in the music department. We had high expectations from music that really perked up the South Indian versions. In Wanted, some songs look like distractions in the plot, while in the South Indian versions, the songs were really melodious and foot-thumping. Wanted really needed better music directors than Sajid –Wajid who have given rattling monotonous, inevitable scores.
Performances in Wanted: Salman Khan is definitely ‘Wanted’ after this film. He is to Wanted, what Aamir Khan was to Ghajini. Mahesh Manjrekar suits the role of the lecherous inspector to the hilt, he is perfect. The voluptuous Ayesha Takia looks amazing and acts her role rattling well. Prakash movie, as Gani Bhai is rattling effective, which is why he has been the movie choice for every the three versions of the film. Govind Namdeo, Manoj Pahwa, Inder Kumar and Vinod Khan render good support as well.
Best scenes in Wanted: The movie is packed with impactful scenes especially the opening scene of Salman Khan, the lift scene between Ayesha Takia and Salman Khan, the couple of fight scenes in the train and the market are rattling good. The scene where Prakash Raj tries to escape from the prison in vain, is simply superb.
Did you know?: Ayesha Takia was approached for the original Telegu Pokiri, but movie role actually went to Ileana D’Cruz. Ayesha then got to behave in the Bollywood version, Wanted.
To assets it up: Go watch Wanted if you are a fan of Salman Khan. If you do not like him as much, you will still like him after watching the film. The flick is sure to attract the masses for its paise-vasool value.
