WANTED works and in a big way! I must say, I was skeptical about the film before it’s release. It could’ve gone 2 ways, either a total dud like the recent Bobby Deol starrer EK-THE POWER OF ONE, or turned in to a bonafide gem like Aamir Khan’s recent monster…thankfully WANTED hits all the right notes and tilts the movie in the right direction.

For a true blue masala film to really work, the audience has to completely connect and be in sync with the star and character to totally suspend belief as 10 men are killed in a matter of minutes in the most gruesome and violent ways. With GHAJINI, the love story worked in a huge way and people overlooked the violence factor. Here, the violence is presented in a totally different manner, the audience is hooked to the stylized “coolness” of the violence which Salman Khan turns in to an absolute art with Vijjayan’s mind-numbing stunts. And this is why the film works so well.

   Agree with you 100 % Akshay Shah. I had given up on Salman but it seems that like before, when everyone gives up on him, he makes a comeback.

   You review is very apt just like Joginder’s Lehren review.

   Thank you Tango for the Jogi bhai video link.

   Can you also ask him to improve the quality of the audio of the review and also that why has he stopped coming to NG.

   As Tango bhai rightly mentioned, London Dreams music is the best in 2009 so far. Barso re gives you goose bumps… I am hearing it continuously since friday

   The problem with London Dreams and Main or Mrs Khanna –

   Ppl are asking “Are Kareena and Asin also in Wanted”
   I think London Dreams always had a good chance to click.

   I have been listening to Khanabadosh, Barso Yaaron, Shola Shola and Jashn Hai Jeet Ka since yesterday. Addictive soundtrack.
