WARNING – The film is best enjoyed if you don’t try to see any sense and logic in it.

Salman Khan starrer ‘Wanted’ which is a remake of ‘Pokiri’(2006), is a full-on entertainment film filled with everything you want to see in a masala film. As I haven’t seen Pokiri yet, I can’t comment on how much of Wanted is an exact copy of the original. And therefore I am going to review it individually. Though it classifies into the B-grade category, the entertainment is A-class. If anything fails in this film, it is the romance. I feel very sorry for Ayesha Takia who was looking so misplaced in this Men in Action film..

Wanted is a film high on action, and that too the gory one. For those who think Wanted has South Indian style or call it Ghajini kind of action and violence, you are wrong. The action and violence in Wanted is more comparable to Kill Bill by Tarantino and the Max Payne video game, than the South Indian action and violent sequences. Rather than having headache after seeing the action sequences like I had in Ghajini, I was fascinated this time around as what I was seeing was more of Tarantino than Ghajini or any other South Indian film. It has humorous scenes to make up for the time between the two action sequences and to allow audience to get settled after an action sequence. Humor gets a bit vulgar sometimes in the film. The film also has got dramatic sequences especially in the second half.

Salman Khan plays the character of Radhe, yeah the same name that he once played in Tere Naam. Even his character is very similar to the one in Tere Naam – The Sadak Chaap Gunda who falls in love with a sweet and innocent girl. Now the question is whether Radhe’s life changes after he meets that sweet and innocent girl, like in Tere Naam. The answer is NO. Even though the story gets a bit serious in the second half, because of the technique and dialogbaazi with a few humorous moments, the film is as enjoyable as the first half where it wasn’t serious at all.
