Which was the last Salman film that you would call truly entertaining? Which was the last film by the superstar that reiterated his power and the enormous success that he has enjoyed at the box office? And when was the last time you saw Salman really getting involved in promoting his film? "Partner" was a hit but it was again plagued by the same David Dhawan movie shortcomings viz. sudden songs(although they were good), over-the-top acting, stretched sequences and quite a few non-sensical dialogues and situations. But "Wanted" should clear all our cribbings because Salman has come back with a bang.
Yes, Wanted hits the right notes and entertains in a big way. The story is average. But what sets it apart is the tremendous presence that Salman injects in each and every frame of the movie. He is depicted as a merciless gangster, killing goons in a Gajini inspired action backdrop. The fight sequences should definitely get loud whistles from the masses. The songs are apt for the mood and Salman dances like never before. Prabhu Deva seems to have made sure that the choreography can remind the audience who the director is. His guest appearance with Govinda in the Ganeshotsav song is really entertaining. Its a pity they only come at the end of the song. We only wish to have seen more from these talented dancers.
Ayesha Takia is ok. Mahesh Manjrekar and the villain from down South shine in their respective roles. But Salman Khan far outshines every one else. You just can't imagine the movie without him - such is the impact that he has created. The action scenes are top notch.
On the whole this is one masala film thats sure to be a blockbuster which is what the industry needs deperately. Go watch.
