“Honestly, when I saw the promos I had no expectations at all. But after watching Wanted, all I can say that it is a real nice movie. It takes you back to the glorious 80s, where our hero used to beat up dozens of gundas all alone, save his girlfriend from gundas, over the top mannerisms, etc. It is a perfect example of a old wine in a new bottle. The truth is that our Bollywood had lost its innocence, trying too hard to imitate the west, making so called art/serious movies aka parallel cinema. Masala movies were almost finished. But I hope this has revived them again, because the movie was very much enjoyable.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAction scenes are OTT at times, but still enjoyable.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIt has some nice performances, but it is Sallu bhai that carries the movie on his shoulders. No other actor in Bollywood could have pulled the role with such an ease. Because of him you just overlook at the flaws.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAyesha Takia looks stunning and her chemistry with Sallu does work! Vinod is not given enough footage but manages to do well.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eMahesh Manjrekar is brilliant. He was just too good at times. Typical corrupt lusty police officers. Scene where he is on his laptop or any other scene… Really good.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003ePrakash Raj deserves special mention. He was just amazing as the DON. Amazing in the jail scenes!u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe twist in the movie was quite nice and not really expected. (as I havenu0026#39;t seen the original) There are some really funny scenes in first half as well =Du003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe movie has almost no story, but the screenplay was nice.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe only thing that was quite annoying was the amount of unnecessary songs. It got boring, because It was like fight scene – song – fight scene – song… Just like those 80s movies, but quite exaggerated. I wish there were bit less songs.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eBest scenes:u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eu003culu003eu003cliu003eLift scene with Salman and Ayesha – All Mughal-e-Azam scenes – In the basketball court – Jail scenes with Don – Radhe asking for Jhanvi phone number in the train – Radhe ignoring Jhanvi – Where Rajeev Shikawatu0026#39;s identity is revealed – The scene where Don meets Srikanth Shikawat (Vinod Khanna)u003c/liu003eu003c/ulu003eu003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eand many more. I can say that most of the scenes (except the scenes with the landlord – the guy was funny in beginning but got annoying by the end) are really good and most of them are memorable.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIn one word, it is a PAISA VASOOL. Leave your brains at home, watch and enjoy with friends.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003e8/10 (revival of the glorious 80s)”
