Movie Review: Wanted

Ek Tha Tiger and Dabangg 2 converted me into a Salman fan, and Wanted simply pushed that to the next level. There is something so innocent and real about this guy; it's no wonder his millions of fans simply lap up everything he has to offer.

(That said, I really think Bodyguard sucked for most part)

Salman looks amazing, whether as the goonda, the IPS officer, or the shy lover. The songs are memorable, and the lead pair looks very cute together. The action scenes are awesome, a lot of toning down of the Dabanggness. And Salman's dialogues and one liners would have sent the theatre crowd hooting and clapping. I have always liked Ayesha Takia, she's an amazing actress (see Dor, for her best), and she looks very fit and pretty. Her chemistry with Salman is also great, especially in the funny scenes. Prakash Raj is fantastic as the villain, a precursor of his much appreciated role in Singham, and just like in the Devgan starrer, you almost feel sorry for him, inspite of all his evilness.

Overall, a fantastic entertainer!
