Wanted – A comeback Film by Salman Khan

A good mix of romance, comedy and songs spice up this action flick. Salman looks nothing like we saw him in No Entry, Partner or Yuvvraaj. The actor has not only shed a lot of weight, he almost dropped his typical accent as Radhe.He wears a Superman T-shirt, slides like the Spiderman and fights like the He-man. If you think this is too much, let me tell you, he dances as well. And boy! This time around he can make you fall for him in an instant with his moves. To put it shortly, Salman Khan rocks as Radhe – a tapori, a hitman – he listens to no one and works only for ‘money’bhai.This movie is going to be a hit among the real taporis.
After a very long time does one get to see a very brash, unapologetic entertainer which manages to entertain the masses, where corruption is on a consistent rise, what with the rate of gangsters and gangs of criminals rising constantly, a different but extremely powerful gangster Radhe (Salman Khan), who works for money and money alone, is asked by Gani Bhai’s (Prakash Raj) associate Golden, to work for his gang. Meanwhile, Radhe falls for the sweet, simple Jahanvi (Ayesha Takia), who is a victim of the lustful eyes of a corrupt Inspector Talpade (Mahesh Manjrekar). In the midst of this drama, Commisioner Ashraf Khan (Govind Namdeo) is in his efforts to eliminate crime from India by eliminating gangsters through his special team. But one fine day, a series of events leads to dire consequences of truths being uncovered, identities being revealed, and lives being crushed. Who will survive? Watch to find out!
Prabhu Deva has given such a very 80’s story a very powerful execution, such that every scene creates an impact and generates applause from the masses. Each scene (Shiraz Ahmed and Poori Jagannath for screenplay and story respectively) has been well-written, and each dialogue (Shiraz Ahmed again!) has been well worked on, such that every line sounds like a punch line, and every scene is THE scene! Picturesque locations of Greece have been well captured, and otherwise as well, the cinematography (Nirave Shah, S. Sriram) really packs the punch and grittiness that accentuates the movie’s rustic appeal.And who can forget praising the most integral part of an action thriller? Vijayan Master’s well-choreographed action sequences really provide the required impact that should be given to the audience, with each stunt given a perfect look and feel.
And these action scenes have been edited with finesse, as also coupled with some outstanding visual effects and production values that, at some places, boast of an international appeal. One can see that a camera with a really high frame-rate has been used to play with the speed of some action shots, something that always works in any action movie. Otherwise, the editing at many places is choppy and could have been tighter, but for the well-edited and thrilling action sequences, one can forgive the editor.
The placement of music is a sore point though. Apart from the electric dance featuring Prabhu Deva, Govinda and Anil Kapoor, the other songs just get in without any prior permission or knocking, which might annoy the viewer. But out of the other songs, it is which deserve praise.
When it comes to acting, the very first person that can be mentioned in this list has to be the one and only Salman Khan who makes a powerful comeback at the box-office after a series of disasters, namely Yuvvraaj and God Tussi Great Ho. His performance, if not his career-best, has to be his most powerful in this decade, with each scene and each frame being designed so as to give every move and verb of his a certain impact. He’s the man, I must say, something that must impress fans of Salman Khan and force the foes of Salman Khan to actually admit being impressed by this actor.Ayesha Takia looks pretty and her chemistry with Salman Khan clicks. And though she acts well, her talent here, I must say, is unfortunately wasted, as her role was of nothing but an eye candy.
Wanted is a film in which the guy romances and jigs with the girl in exotic locations, uses fantastic punch lines repeatedly to grab attention, walks without a care, breaks into a dance whenever he wants to, and fights like he’s the most powerful man in this world! Yes – I’m talking about the cinema of the late seventies and the early eighties, where movies like these used to rule the roost with actors of the likes of Sunny Deol. Wanted is a kind of remake of this era and takes us to nostalgic period of 80′s.Overall, Wanted not just marks the comeback of Salman Khan, it literally announces it. With an ordinary plot given an amazing execution,This movie will be a darling of the masses and the Salman Khan fans. it’s a typical fun movie that takes us back to the 80’s with a powerful execution.If you are a fan of Salman Khan then go and watch it. ‘Wanted’ is a complete paisa vasool that offer comes with a convincing script, great acting skills, cool item numbers and adrenaline pumping stunts. The movie is not at all pretentious and a complete entertainer. I’m sure Salman’s fans have a reason to watch the film.
