Wanted

My Rating: 2.5 stars
Wanted's story is about Salman Khan, who is a mercenary killer and is willing to give kill for whoever pays him. In the process, he flits from one gang to the other and wrecks havoc wherever he goes. But he has his principles as he does not believe in killing women or children. In the meantime, underworld activity in Mumbai has reached an all time high and the Police Commissioner is out on a mission to eliminate the gangs. But the main controls are in the hand of a Ghani Khan who lives abroad. An elaborate plot is laid out for him whereby he is lured back to India so that the cops can catch him. Of course, this is only revealed in the end. But with Ghani back in India, the cops have their hands full and even when they manage to capture him, they are forced to let him off as he kidnaps the Commissioner's daughters and circulates MMS clips of her being molested. Of course, Sallu comes to the rescue of all, and in the end all sorts itself out as he eliminates all the bad men single handedly. Into this plot are interwoven the romance track between Sallu and Ayesha Takia's character. There is also the track of the sleazy, corrupt cop, played to perfection by Mahesh Manjrekar. The romance is very typically Salman Khan style, with a strong undertone of humour running through it.
This is a full on entertainment masala movie with most elements woven into it. Prabhudeva seems to have done a fairly decent job as a director and the South Indian movie hallo is very evident in every frame
