REVIEW: Salman rocks in WANTED!

He wears a Superman T-shirt, slides like the Spiderman and fights like the He-man. If you think this is too much, let me tell you, he dances as well. And boy! This time around he can make you fall for him in an instant with his moves. To put it shortly, Salman Khan rocks as Radhe - a tapori, a hitman - he listens to no one and works only for 'money'bhai.

A good mix of romance, comedy and songs spice up this action flick. Salman looks nothing like we saw him in No Entry, Partner or Yuvvraaj. The actor has not only shed a lot of weight, he almost dropped his typical accent as Radhe.

Also starring Ayesha Takia Azmi in the lead, Wanted is a remake of the 2006 Telugu film Pokkiri. Wanted marks the Bollywood debut of ace choreographer-turned-filmmaker Prabhu Deva. Kudos to him for making Salman dance like never before. For the first time ever Salman seems to enjoy his steps wholeheartedly (with right expressions) and not dance for the heck of it.

Sallu's Ganpati song, Jalwa, was apparently kept secret from audiences for very long before the release. Undoubtedly, it is the best of the lot. And why not, when someone like Prabhu Deva himself has choreographed it, nothing but the best is expected.

The film definitely has a South Indian touch and feel to it but the best part is, as a filmmaker Prabhu Deva doesn't try to experiment much. Yet whatever he does (read silly) he does it with oodles of style.

Prabhu Deva's take on Mughal-E-Azam's song Pyar Kiya Toh Darna Kya with Sallu and Ayesha looks too funny. The lovey-dovey episodes between Sallu and Ayesha sometimes make no sense at all. Sample this… Sallu and Ayesha get stuck inside the lift. Ayesha is frightened and comes closer to Salman. She gives a coy smile and Salman smiles back as Ayesha innocently asks if it is Vicco Vajradanti... Being juvenile is an understatement at this point.

There are far too many songs, which could have been well avoided.
