Radhe (Salman Khan) is a hard-core gangster . A sharp-shooter with a sharp brain, he works for Gani Bhai, the dreaded Mafioso, on his own terms. Totally fearless, Radhe singlehandedly eliminates Gani Bhai's enemies, one by one - making more enemies in the process. The man is devoid of any principles; he is arrogant, ruthless and does not care about the emotions of other people.
Radhe's astounded when young and pretty Jhanvi (Ayesha Takia) professes her affection for him. Inspector Talpade's lustful eyes fall on Jahnavi. He doesn't know that Jahnavi has developed a soft spot for Radhe. Jahnavi is a very simple innocent and a naive girl and she believes that everything is good in the world and nothing is bad. After she meets Radhe she realizes that all her previous notions were wrong and life after that becomes a roller coaster ride for her. There is a transition in her character then.
Whether it's the Golden gang or Data Pawle's Gang, everybody wants the biggest piece of the lucrative cake that is Mumbai and the only way to get it is to eliminate whoever gets in the way. As Mumbai reels under bloody gang wars, Commissioner Ashraf Khan Vows to make the city crime-free and starts his campaign by arresting 200 criminals.
Gani Bhai comes back to Mumbai and ends up arrested by Commissioner Ashraf Khan. His gang retaliate by making a lewd video of his daughter. While she is tortured she reveals that there is a police informant in their gang.
On research they find outh that he's the son of a former police officer, who now runs a fitness center. Upon killing him, Gani Bhai ensures that his son will perform his last rites. They find out that the mole is none other than Radhe and go into hiding.
Radhe forces Talpade to take him to the hideout. There, he engages in a mass shootout where he kills everyone, and finally slits Gani Bhai's throat with a piece of mirror, killing him.
Radhe then tells ths Commissioner that his daughter is safe and Gani Bhai is dead and also tells him that Talpade was killed fighting them. When Talpade questions this, Radhe shoots him down, saying : 'Ek baar maine commitment kar diya, toh phir main apne aap ki bhi nahin sunta' and the credits roll on the left side of a freeze frame of Radhe's face.
It is one of 2009's biggest hit with approx Rs. 40.5 crore distribution share .Surprisingly more than 70% of its business came from single screens rather than multiplexes. It was released on the same day as Dil Bole Hadippa. Worldwide, Wanted had excellent opening. It shattered records in Pakistan. It has grossed over 700 lakhs in Pakistan first weekend, which is a record for any Indian film. It was declared a Block Buster.
Wanted got mixed to solid reviews.[1] However Salman Khan 's performance was much praised by critics and audience as well.
