Salman Khan’s Wanted is a Blockbuster!

At a time when Bollywood was desperately in need of a blockbuster, Salman Khan has delivered and how! Wanted is the first Blockbuster of 2009 and the craze for the movie in India has to be witnessed to be believed. The word of mouth is by far the positive, as the movie has been universally accepted and while the collections at multiplexes have witnessed the usual weekly drop (around 40%), its at the single screen where all the ‘Wanted’ action is taking place.

Business at single screen across the country is rock steady, at several centers better than its first weekend collections.

The fact that the movie seems certain for long steady run, should make it Salman Khan’s biggest HIT this decade.

With a blockbuster in Wanted, a super-hit television show Dus Ka Dum and a good line-up of upcoming releases (Veer, Main Aur Mrs Khanna).. Salman Khan’s career is suddenly looking better than ever!

  • Well said Priyanka… I comply you..

    Salman is truly a one man Army… I was a little disappointed too tat the song Ishq vishq is missing..

    Anyways Salman is a truly superstar without yashraj banners…

    We are proud of Salman khan.. Hoping London dearms wil be the 2nd blockbuster of the year.

    WANTED ALL OVER THE WORLD- SALMAN KHAN

  • Nazeer: and u know one thing.. that this movie Wanted didn’t work for more than 2 weeks at our Seef Cinemas, but Dil Bole Hadippas still running in our Dana multiplexes and successfully.. 4 shows in a day..and for the 4th week since the release on 16.09.. so it means will continue for a month.. or maybe more!

  • Oh.. Fathiya.. now only ur real colors come out… so u r that GAY SRk Fan
    DBH is flop… not even above average… go to bolly business site and see the box office collection

    u dont knw about films… After Wake up Sid came DBH will be out and MAMK also comes to multiplexux
    so DBH will lone gone…

    but wanted will rule dingle Screens
    even in deewali

    u have lost this game fathiya

    Salman has win this long way….
    Salman rules the bollywood and rewriting the history

  • Hey Fathiya : i know in ur Village it might be running DBH till date but go n check the box office site the collection and rate of that film i can understand u lol ur too old about 60’s u dont have enough energy to tolerate so ur saying anything in ur mind comes i know !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    but u know in our multiplex still Wanted is running with full crowd
    truth is DBH is totally flop flop flop

    once again Rakhel of SRK
    or i think u slept with salman and didnt pay u well so u hate him most i hope so

    i can understand but who told u to sleep with salman u oldie bitch

  • Dear Fathiya,
    First, of course Wanted movie flopped overseas sipmly because this movie don’t rise to the level of the globale filme such Holywood movies action. But it is absurd to comparison between Holywood and Bolywood.
    Secondly. You should notify, that the level of Bollywood, descend at a steady pace. In the past the cinema hindi became known around the world,Through the romantic films and movies drama such Kabhi Guchi Kabhi Gham and Kuch Kuch Hota hai, devdas. But now Bolywood is a cinema of exposed the bodies. You look Aamir khan in Ghajini, he shows topless and he put a tattoos on his body. Or Shahid Kapoor in Kaminey, and the biggest disaster is the poster of Karenna Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan in the new movie for 2009 Kurbaan.
    Really it’s very sad to see the cinema of Bollywood to deteriorate. How stupid strategy. Have you noticed the comments for Rani Mukharji after her last movie Dil Bole Hadippa in the all India websites? they said it is the moment for rani Mukharji to get married, because her movie is flloped in india box office (According to their claim, not according me. Because I doubt it and I doubt for the sucess of Wanted).
    Take that:
    In United Stats, the model exposed the designs in the fashion competition. And the actress act in Hollywood. But!!!!!!!!!!! In India the actress get to married, and the model get to act in Bollywood!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Are you hot, Ohhhhhhhhhh. You have a sexy body ok you selected in Bollywood????????????
    Bolywood now is the group of models act in the clowning film. Don’t you think Kambakkht Ishq ( For example) is a clowning film?
    And for wanted it’s like action movies for 80’s such Western films of 70’s.

  • Thara and Nazeer
    Can you tell please, where Wanted is blockbuster hit of this year 2009 in the small villages of india or The outskirts of Mumbai, hahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahah.

  • Nazeer: Don’t think that u will piss me off by what u said.. and I’m not 60 asshole.. and hahahaha.. u guys see movies upside down.. there4 u consider a low class movie like Wanted as a high class!! and what’s really a high class movie and which deserved to be appreciated by the audience.. unfortunately it didn’t…

    So u guys watch movies like a car going resverse!! there4 u don’t know how to value good movies what’s black.. u see it white and vice versa!!! ohoo.. and u think that u r very very smart.. don’t you?!!!

    ( if I was Rani.. I’d hv killed myself now.. after this beautiful movie DBH which also didn’t satisfy the indian audience, didn’t appreciate it and didn’t even appreciate her talent!! why is she killing herself and wasting her time working in movies?! for the sake of dumb ppl like u..who don’t know how to value good movies!! and u r for sure one of those audience who didn’t value her movie trarampum, which was so good movie too!

  • Lol Fathiya : Yes i know Rani is damn good actress i didnt say she is worst but in front of Wanted she has been flopped bad luck to Rani what to do u know very well Salman is great forever obviously blockbuster hit
    ofcourse tararampum was great movie specially songs
    but fact is fact u oldie girl
    DBH same cricket story wat is this,, time to change for a new!!!!! baby
    whatever u say nobody cares here
    what happened to ur Srk this year i think he has forced to producer or director to postpond his upcoming movie My name is khan as u know it will no hit bcoz of Wanted
    Srk might be hiding behind ur ASS
    ok do one favour just motivate him to face the fact ok babe
    post some different or new
    as ur old same ur post will be old toooooo
    bye u oldie babeeeeeeeeee

  • Nasserine: it’s really a strange world.. and I still don’t get it.. why sometimes some quality movies, good in every way aren’t appreciated by the audience, sometimes they aren’t appreciated evey by the critics?!! Are they blind or what?!! sometimes I think that some audience enter the cinema hall and know nothing! what’s good or what’s bad.. they find some ppl laugh.. so they laugh.. they find some ppl asleep.. so they start to yawn.. they see some ppl leave the theatre and jump into a river or kill themselves.. so they do the same!!

    Some very good bollywood movies flopped.. and some bad won the box office.. God.. it’s just a strange world.. and yeah Nasserine: I’d ask Rani to marry and settle down.. not becuase she’s not talented ( as u heard some ppl asking her and those are dumb ppl for sure ) no.. but not to waste her time or kill herself trying to please a stupid audience, to save her youth and her time for her future husband..let her please her husband and have kids and be a mother.. let her enjoy her life by having a family of her own..she deserves to marry and have a family before it’s too late and leave the stupid audience enjoy those crap movies!!

  • Salman Bhahi is back to rock the Bollywood with……..

    Wanted is the first Blockbuster of 2009 AND a super-hit television show Dus Ka Dum

    SALMAN KHAN IS NUMBER ONE IN INDIA…AND HE WILL STAY NUMBER ONE FOREVER…….

  • ” DIE FOR UR COUNTRY LIVE LIKE A LEGEND” wat amzing lines in movie wanted and still people think its a low class movie. Strange.I thnk they like high class movies like billu barber. wanted is a real blockbuster.wanted will remain wanted by people.

  • Divya: that’s not the “only” thing in the movie.. we might see a script like this also in annimation movies!! it’s the direction.. it’s the action scenes in the movie which we laughed at.. but few good scenes will not make us change our mind about it.

    Unfortunately the indian audience sometimes love “only” a scene in any movie so they consider it as a good movie and forget about the rest!! and sometimes it’s a good movie from every angle and nothing wrong with it from a-z and the indian audience would hold onto a point which is not that big deal.. for example: what was wrong with the movie Tara ram pum? it was one of best of yash raj films.. the movie didn’t lack anything from a-z.. it was like a perfect dish you eat at any 5 star restaurant.. and it didn’t satisfy the audience in India!! what was wrong with Dil Bole Hadippa.. it’s another example.. I heard on some websites that the critics didn’t appreciate Rani’s performance!!!!!!!!!! what?!! were they stupid, dumb or what?!! what can this poor actress give more than she did in this movie?! I read also that some advertising companys stopped dealing with her!! what was her crime?!! was it because she did a good movie and she must do some crap to statisfy the majority who don’t know how to value good movies!!

    yash raj.. big banner.. yash raj.. big banner.. shahrukh.. rani, others work under big banners.. so this sentence is said “everywhere”!!! what’s wrong with big banners?!!! does this mean that whoever work under big banners then they’re not qualified actors/actresses!! ppl repeat this sentence like parrots and don’t know even the meaning of what they say or repeat!!

    Now guys.. after the success of the movie Wanted.. advise yr heros/heroines to work under the wings of Prabu Deva which his direction was “only” his style.. the same tune and the same way he dances!!! and believe me.. bollywood will sink for sure!

  • Hello people, well i’ve been following all the comments, after seeing people giving nęgative comment, i đecided to write this commen. Wanted is argubly a wonerful movie and as mentnd by many of u sallu has done a gr8 n fantastic job, collectons speak for themselves, all over the world it made 75 crores in the I week(refer to HT), I thnk nthng else is requrid to say after this. Sallu realy rocks. All those people who have critcsd salman, here is a reply for u, hve u ever seen any hit movie of srk in which he hasnt workd wid dharma prod. Or yash raj. Remember pAheli and 1 2 ka 4. Well srk’s movies are hit cause he works only wid big banners, he repeats himself, and in most of his movies he is heart broken lover, do u see nethng else bout him, morovr in most of the movies he falls in love twice. Man his movies make me sick. So the moral of the story is salman is better than srk as he gives hit movies while workng with small banner and salman is as good as amir khan. And if U r calling Wanted a cartoon, then what wud u call KKHH, RBDJ, BILLU, DDLJ. People its better v all accept the fact that Wantd is a gr8 movie, as it really is, and SALMAN IS THE REAL KING KHAN ,AS HE REALLY IS. And srk is a puppet of media.

  • Mr Aditya,
    If wanted movie is argubly a wonerful movie and as mentnd by many of u sallu has done a gr8 n fantastic job. This is only for you Mr Aditya , and depending on what you think. I do not know why the Indians insist and imposed on us the sucess of wanted ( ofcourse The success of the alleged ). Really you make me laugh, when you said: all over the world it made 75 crores in the I week(refer to HT). Are you serious? Wanted movie it made 45 crores and since the expensive costs of the film which is estimated at 37 crores. So the movie it made 7 crores nett in the first week. So the film get Average due to high cost; Good in northern single screens, Poor in multiplexes not a sucessful.This is the reality and there is no need
    to lie and forgery, We are not stupid OK.

  • for nessrine : check the website.. They Predict Wanted will reach 70…
    it has already done 60 in 3 weeks.
    http://bollybusiness.wordpress.com/

    Mark My words… it will reach 90 Crores easily…
    Diwali will increase the records more..
    no need of multiplexus…

    wanted doing great in single screen,,,
    And FYI
    im living in melb

    And YashRaj try their best to bring Wanted down
    Check in youtubes..
    YashRaj is the one who is distributing the Pirate DVDs of Wanted…

    At the same time they dont let anyone to upload any clip of their movie atlewst in youtube.
    they remove all uploaded ones of DBH and WUS and at the same time they upload wanted ones in youtube..

    Despite all that without any big banners Wanted Has sone superbly
    bit because of anything.. mainly God supports only the truthful people…

    WAnted Rox
    Salman Rox

    We dont need multiplex… dont need YashRaj

    Wanted will be the biggest hit of the Decade,,, Mark my words

  • Dear Fathiya,
    Maybe you’re right. But I want to give you my opinion, if the Indains don’t like Rani mukharji, or their don’t respect her work. I think Rani is working in Bollywood cenima, so she act in cenima hindi international. In the sense that her work is directed to the whole world, not only for Indain people. For our part, we love Rani mukharji and we recpect her work, and we like all her movies including Dil bole Hadippa. And if she stops working, we could lose her beautiful face and her wonderful act. Bollywood isn’t national hindi cenima, and where success in Bollywood is not confined only in India but in all over the world. otherwise, why was named Bollywood.
    their movie Wanted had sucess in hindi cenima.
    Dil Bole Hadippa had sucess in Bollywood.
    But if Bollywood continued industry films such as this year ( wanted, love Aj Kal, Kameiny, Kambakkht Ishq ). And if doesn’t change its strategy for their attention to exposed the bodies. Unfortunately will sink for sure!

  • THE POINT IS NOT DAT WHERE ITS WORKING IN SINGLE SCREENS OR MULTIPLEXES IF IT CAN STILL FETCH MORE MONEY ND MORE DISTRIBUTOR SHARE DEN NY OTHER MOVIE THIS YEAR IT IS TERMED 2 B AS BLOCKBUSTER.WANTED HAS JST DONE DAT DIS YEAR.EVEN IT HAS EARN MORE MONEY IN SINGLE SCREES WHO CARES/HE HAS DONE MORE PROFIT DEN NY OTHR MOVIE DIS YEAR.WANTED IS A REAL BLOCKBUSTER BECAUSE IT STILL EARN MORE PROFIT WIDOUT DEPENDENT ON MULTIPLEXES NOW DATS WAT U CALLED SALMAN KA JALWA.

  • Nasserine: Wanted did only 7 crores overseas ( and DBH is still running in our cinemas, and I saw it again yesterday, a wonderful movie) u said that you all love Rani’s films.. but all the audience don’t love Yash Raj films!! they get irritated by Yash Raj films!!

  • And for you Thara,
    You say Wanted movie rocks, and slman rocks just because you hate Yash Raj. This is clear from your words, and this is, of course the same thinking of Media India which attacks Rani Mukharji and her work.
    I don’t need to look at the resultat of box office Because I do not trust the Media India.
    You just check the video of Rani Mukherji being sabotage:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oZYAuF2SNZU.
    For see the lying and cheating in the results.But why???????? You want to have adopted the success of Salman, By the destruction of Dil Bole Hadippa and Rani also. Uuuuuuuuuuuufffffffffffff, this is strange.
    Wanted had averge with 7 corors nett in india and Rejected in each of U.K and U.S.A.
    This is the truth.
    and for your talk about YshRaj and Youtoub. On what I think the company’s administration of youtoub existent in U.S.A, not at YashRaj’s company.Ohhhhhhhhhhh We are not stupid OK.

  • Every salman khan fan works as a brand manager for him, this thing is never happen with other stars..(In the whole delhi including buses, metros and restaurents i have heard people are talking about him ) because he is the single Guy for that yuth are maniac…. but various worthless media survey show his rank in terms of popularity at bottom, i never encountered with this such type of survey ..did you people face?…. if not then where and to whome they are asking…..

    that will suit her

    Salman Rox and he is the God
    Wanted roc and thats the hit of the Decade

  • Tharaka,
    First thing you don’t live in U.S or U.k .Right, because people living England or U.S their words superior to your level of talking now.
    Secondly, you didn’t law for show me what I do. I defend YashRaj or Rani or others, I did not ask you OK.
    Thirdly Mr, you’re not the person qualified to judge Rani. You’re not a filmmaker or an actor for make criticals.
    As for Salman Khan, Where was for four years ago. why you don’t said Salman Rocks in Yuvvraaj and Heroes and God Tussi Great Ho and Salaam-E-Ishq…………… and a lot movies flop for Salamn.
    Good very good Rani Mukharji dropped luck to Saman Khan, after forgetting salman for four years ago. His back with the Back of Rani., great.
    And for last thing Mr Tharaka, old Salman Khan born in 1955 impossible Rani act her mother simply because she is younger than the old man Twenty-three. Which was supposed he act Rani’s father in Dil Bole Hadippa. Also Ayesha Takia’s grand father in Wanted movie, right.
    Maybe Mr Tharaka You are also old such as, for this you defend it. Ahhhhhhhhh ok now I understand.
