WANTED
Director: Prabhu Deva
***1/2 [3 & 1/2 stars]
Prabhu Deva has proved it once again that his is not only the one of the best Indian Dancer/Choreographer but also one of the best directors. Though Wanted is a remake of Pokiri [Telugu/Tamil], it still has a fresh fragrance in it! The movie stars our favorite hero "Salman Khan" who seems to be still eligible to kick off any other hero of the younger generation. Look at his body and physique, any girl will go crazy on him and any guy would make him his idol!
The director also has made Salman to move his legs for the tracks which is a rare opportunity to see. The movie also stars Ayesha Takia who suits well into the role played by Ileana & Asin in the originals. She still has the same innocence she portrayed in Socha Na Tha. Great going Ayesha, keep it up!
The movie also has Vinod Khanna, Mahesh Manjrekar & Prakash Raj playing well off their respective characters with ease. Anil Kapoor, Govinda & Prabhu Deva hop into the screen to shake their legs for a song "Mera Hi Jalwa". The dialogues also give you a kick which is very hard to find in bollywood nowadays like "Agar mein Commitment Kardu, toh mein khud ki bhi nahi sunta", "Mujhe Gundon se zyada tum se darr lagta hain" & many more. The comedy part is ok ok and not as good as in Tamil. Songs also play a set back when compared to the original flicks.
All in all, a good entertainer. Welcome back to action Salman!!!
salman khan has two expressions in the entire movie: 1)that hang-over/ stoned look 2) "I'm-gonna-burst-out-laughing-any-moment-now" look especially when he's marofying that commitment dialogue.
ReplyDeletedon't you think?
and moral of the story: kids, do not use anabolic steroids...else you'll end up wearing a hat in every other scene in your movie.
Well Salman or no Salman,Prabhu Deva is an excellent director! I loved the telugu version better! Mahesh Babu rocks in Pokkiri!
ReplyDelete@RR: Thats very true that Prabhu Deva is one of the best directors of recent times. No doubt!No matter whoever the actor may be, he makes them to play. Actually I had liked Vijay in Tamil version. I basically went for that movie just to see Asin!!
