The second is Police Inspector Talpade, who is already married to Nandini, but lusts after Jhanvi so much so that he creates circumstances that will force her to marry him. The third is a male named Radhey – who often comes to her rescue – but breaks her heart when she finds out who is really is – a cold-blooded killer who works for a gangster named Ghanibhai. The later is a ruthless gangster who challenges Police Commissioner Ashraf Taufeeq Khan with impunity, and even abducts his daughter to ensure his personal safety.

Wanted Movie Review :

This film review are Mostly Positive from Critics, IMDB Public Reviewing site give 6.6 Star Out Of 10 Star with Reviewers are 18,712.

When i watched the movie i expected a lot as i am a big fan of Salman Khan. The story of the movie moves along at a good pace, and you never really guess what is going on until it happens. I don’t want to give away too much for those people who haven’t watched the movie.

Aisha Takia looks sexy as always, in my opinion she is very under rated in the business.

is a story that will not be new to most regular bollywood movie watchers the twist is very good.

Salman Khan looks very big in the movie and they show him as a Herculean man who can beat up any1. this look suits salman very well.

Overall it is a movie which i would recommend it has some good action sequences and the story is also quite entertaining.

Critics Rating by Taran Adarsh, from Bollywood Hungama give 4 star out of 5 Star.
