Highly Overrated But Still Good

Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

but for me, even though I watch Hindi and other Indian films, this is mediocre. I don't approve of such nonsense, with no story, mindless scenes, and forced "masala" which most Indian audiences may fall head over heels for. This fim is a representation of Indian cinema at it's worst and the fact that it was a blockbuster makes me wonder whether the audiences have been dumbed down. Films like "Singh is Kinng", Kambakkt Ishq", "Partner", "Housefull", "Blue", "Do Knot Disturb", along with other old fashioned and badly made films like "We Are Family", Kurbaan, Lamhaa, make me lose faith in the industry. Some people that have seen bollywood their whole lives may find these films to be OK. Films like Udaan, Tere Bin Laden, and LSD are films that are well made and deserve a larger audience but the world of stars, foreign locations, etc is ruining everything.Salman Khan stars in wanted. It takes place in a nice foreign location(at least the dance sequences), there is no proper, scripted story. Unfortunately it seems as if this is what the audiences want. No story, just entertainment. No wonder there are still "boy meets girl" films coming out from all the major production companies that take place outside India. Don't people get sick of this since it has been happening since the 90's and even earlier. The next film is "Anjaana Anjaani". Recently there was also "I hate love stories"...This formulaic crap is killing the industry.

I gave this film 2, because of the actress Ayesha Takia and Mahesh Manjrekar as a corrupt cop, they are the 2 constant in this appalling movie. She's really beautiful, and as a villain Manjrekar pulls it off again. I read somewhere that this is a "superhit" if it is, Bollywood is not heading in the right direction. The story line, is relegated in the background for Salman Khan (who looks really old by the way) to beat and kill everyone he can, and flex his muscles. This could have been such a good film compared to the likes of The Departed or Infernal Affairs, but sadly it's not. I read in one of the user comments someone comparing this to Ghajini, Ghajini although based on Memento actually had a proper story, and not just scenes put together for the sake of the main star. Truly a waste of time.

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.

This is a cheap and loud Dishum-Dishum thriller. This is what you get when you mix a second rate producer and a third rate meathead like Salman Khan. The only redeeming factor in this flick is, Ayesha Takia, She is sure sight for sore eyes-an eye-candy in the lines of Mumtaz in the 60's. In fact she is the beauty-among the beasts. Apart from the Twin-Talents that she has been bestowed with,she has twinkling of a potential albeit she is not in the same caliber as Kareena or Rani and safe to assume that she never will be.The only noteworthy is Mahesh Manjrekar-you hate his character and love his acting. The movie is a typical Southern-Sambhar(as opposed to Masala-in reverence should be reserved for similar genre of flicks coming out of Mumbai) with portly and pot bellied baddies(and one major villain-preferably tucked away in Dubai or Bankok-here it happens to be Hong Kong)with greasy hair and cheap sunglasses.Salman Khan has proved time and times again that you don't need to be an actor to be a Star. The movie is inordinately long. I guess this is to accommodate all the baddies that come flinging from all directions that seem to come between the hero and his girl and also prove his credentials to the girl specially when there is no father in the family--to give away the bride. The couple live happily every after in a Government subsidized Housing development(This is the Spoiler and Giveaway)
