Wanted
Info
Let's get this straight. WANTED rides on Salman Khan's star power. He may not be the best actor in town, but in a film like WANTED, in a role that seems like an extension of his personality, you can't think of anyone else enacting this role with flourish.
Patha Hai! ‘Wanted’ doesn’t stride unparalleled much away from the previous versions of ‘Pokkiri’ (Telugu and Tamil). As well, Prabhu Deva doesn’t strain himself for any changes in the Hindi remake as well. But he seems to have put more pressure on Salman’s dancing show.
To be plainspoken, Salman Khan just rocks down the floors with his every step over dance. But when it comes to emoting in talkie portions, he has simply imitated what the other protagonists in previous versions had delivered. Unfortunately, too much casualty does make him spotted caricatured.
So, putting it in simple terms ‘Wanted’ is a must-see film for those audiences who never care about logicalities and have ability to withstand too much stunt sequences.
Wayward Radhe (Salman Khan) with tough body and sharp brain has nothing left obstructing his way. A pakka marksman by profession, he does anything for money with a strong principle – Nothing thinking twice to shoot his enemies. Though, Radhe works for the underworld gangs who operated city of Mumbai with their mighty power, he prefers to carry the task for the one who pays him big sum.
He falls in love with Jhanvi (Ayesha Takia) and indeed she professes her love for him. Well, then there’s inspector Talpade (Mahesh Manjrekar), who lustfully eyes on Jhanvi. Meanwhile, things take a turn of events when the commissioner of police vows to bump off the gangsters and eradicate their dominance. Would Radhe save himself from the wedges of crucial situations is all what it unfolds in rest of the film.
When it comes to performance, Salman Khan tries hard to score the best. Of course, he deserves handful of claps and appreciations. Especially, the hunk just sways on with breathtaking stunts and on the par excellence with dance. Ayesha Takia bestows an appealing show with her bubbly sensuous looks. She’s stunningly best on her dance steps. Mahesh Manjrekar carries off his role with best approach. In spite of being delineated with sordid characterization, he evokes laughter with his take on humor. Prakash Raj, the national award winner scores 5/5 dominating all through the second half with his arrival.
Nothing special to mention about Prabhu Deva as he has just replicated his own ‘Pokkiri’, but the happening commercial ingredients will surely entertain all classes… Of course, Ek Aadmi bumping off 25men at the same time isn’t an unusual deal in Indian film industry.
The musical score by Sajid-Wajid isn’t much impressive, but the invigorating choreography and guest appearances of Govinda, Anil Kapoor and Prabhu Deva himself makes it entertainingly best. Cinematography by Nirav Shah is much spellbinding with innovative angles.

Wnated : did not caught in act !!
This is for fans and foes of Salman Khan...
Fans, rejoice, Salman is back with a vengeance with WANTED. This is his deadliest performance to date. Yes, you read it right!
Foes, sorry, you won't be able to lash out at him or pick on him or launch a vicious tirade this time. The spate of flops should come to a grinding halt with WANTED.
Let's get this straight. WANTED rides on Salman Khan's star power. He may not be the best actor in town, but in a film like WANTED, in a role that seems like an extension of his personality, you can't think of anyone else enacting this role with flourish.
Director Prabhu Dheva has presented Salman like never before. Most actors have drifted away from roles that hold tremendous mass appeal, that cater to the desi audience, like they did in the 1980s. SRK did it in OM SHANTI OM, Aamir Khan did it in GHAJINI and Salman does it so effortlessly in WANTED. The screenplay [Shiraz Ahmed] may not be foolproof, but it has its share of shining moments. Dialogues are clapworthy, especially those delivered by Salman
Sajid-Wajid's music is of a mixed variety. 'Jalwa' is the best of the lot and the star presence of Anil Kapoor, Govinda and also Prabhu Dheva in this track will send the viewers into raptures. The remaining tracks oscillate between good and strictly okay. This review would be incomplete without the invaluable contribution by the action director. It deserves brownie points. Cinematography too is top notch.
Salman is like a ferocious lion who roars with all his might. The show belongs to the actor, who scorches the screen every time he displays the manic anger. Without doubt, Salman gives the power to WANTED. It's his best work to date

Salman : The most Wanted Man in Bollywood !
> Sallu Bhai looks cool and aggressive in the movie.
> Overall, he ruled the movie from first half to its climax. In other words, the movie is worth watching. After working in mediocre movies in the past few years, Salman Khan's new avatar has now enough reply to his critics.
> After getting good opening, it will be Salman charisma who will force his fans to venture out in the theatres during festival vacations.
> Do not forget to mention the outstanding performance of the recent National Award Winner Prakash Raj
