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!

  • Hello Mr Tharaka,
    First: I liked the debate with you.
    for your Partition of génération is wrong, and this is the Correct: 1fr génération is Maduri (1963), Juhi (1965),
    2 sc génération is Karishma (1971), Kajol (1974), Prity Zineta (1974),Kareena Kapoor( 1977),
    Rani (1978).
    3 rd génération is Katreena (1984), Sonam (1985), deepika (1986).
    You have put Rani with her mother Maduri, and the old Karenna kapoor with her doughter deepika. Correct your information please.
    Secondly: I’m Algerian and I live in France, and the first movie I saw for Hindi cinema it was Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham. And I was impressed by the star Shahrukh Khan, and his brilliant way to perform the roles.
    Then I was impressed with Kajol, Rani, Karenna, Hrithik Roshan, saif Ali Khan, Prity Zineta, and also Salman Khan, Abhishek Bachchan, Aishwarya. and I like Shahid Kapoor In the new generation.
    And for your list, I didn’t watch any of these films. Because all these movies didn’t reach us.
    My list not only for Rani Mukharji but for :More movies marketed in France.
    1- Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge.
    2- Dil Se..
    3- Kuch Kuch Hota Hai .
    4- Devdas ( it is the most famous movie).
    5- Saathiya.
    6- Chalte Chalte.
    7- Kal Ho Naa Ho.
    8- Main Hoon Na.
    9- Veer-Zaara.
    10- Mohabbatein.
    11- Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham.
    12- Om Shanti Om.
    14- Bunty Aur Babli.
    15- Race.
    16- Ta Ra Rum Pum.
    17- Dil Chahta Hai for Amir Khan.
    18- Parineeta.
    19- Mujhse Dosti Karoge!
    20- Jab We Met.

    hahahaha

    this is the most funniest answer….
    i hope all in this thread can see how much of a loser you are

    if u started watching moies after KKKG
    then u dont knw aything about bollywood

    so better not debate anymore
    dont check the Generationg from their birthyear… u knw nothing about bollywood thats very clear…

    i meant by Generations is the years they ruled as actresses in bollywood
    so i can see very clearly how stupid u r.

    Mujhse Dosti Karoge is Flop
    Kuch Kuch Hota Hai hit because if SRK and Kajol not Rani at all

    failing to name 10 hit movies of Rani
    u have given some other list….

    i agree those movies are hit
    but No Rani there… poor u
    u cant find atleast 10 movies which been hit cz of Rani

    those movies are hit cz of SRK
    and ur knowledge about bollywood is very low

    i watch all hindi movies
    so u beter start watching some more and come to argument

    u r like a politiciaon
    when i ask for a list of Rani

    u give some rubbish 20 count
    whiuch are not relevent to our talk at all

    Salman between Rani
    that was our debate

    and u lost my dear
    i dont need to talk about this anymore

    tata bye bye

  • You dont need to talk about this anymore. Because your answer is not convincing, you repeat the same sentence as the Parrot (you lost……..you lost).
    For your information:
    I don’t knw nothing about Hindi cenima, that’s right. But I know a lot about Bollywood dear.
    You do not have something to say is why your talking stupid and incomprehensible.
    And as you are stupid you like Salman Khan and Wented movie. ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.
    good bye.

  • I watched Shahid’s movie “Kamineah” now and I’m writing for those who think that we’ve no right to compare Shahid Kapoor with Salman Khan.. hah…hahaahahaha.. well.. I didn’t enjoy watching the movie because it was slow and boring, but at least, the action scenes in Kamineh was so natural.. natural action.. natural fighting, natural people in this movie and not like the movie “Wanted” which was soooo fake as well as Ghajini.. now guys.. hellow guys.. now what does this prove?! If millions in India loved the movie Wanted.. if there was such a hype, craze for the movie Wanted.. so please tell me.. what does this prove?!!!

    I think u all got the answer.. I don’t need to put the dots on the words!!

    Indicine Team: I couldn’t find the movie review of Kamineh otherwise I’d hv posted my review.. probably I entered wrong spelling under the search for the movie review.. so I couldn’t find it.. all I can say in brief that this movie was done to show how talented are both Shahid & Priyanka in acting.. both did very well, but it’s a full action movie and not interesting.. I got bored while watching.

  • Listen, Guys, Wanted is a smasher all the way, its Salman Khan and Salman Khan all the way, the way movie theater was thundering with noise every time Salman Spoke or fight gave the ample evidence of Salman’s raw movie craze and his star power.
    BUMPER

  • hey guyyz my namez shakira and im frm uk… lisn ive been readin all these comments and by the way fathiya and wats that oyha onez name nezmine or somethin… yeh both of u dnt av any sense do u… if a person sayz uve lost then u hav… threz no need to argue about it is thre? by the way im startin to hate sharukh because hez gettin a bit to old fo da moviez… hez gt wrinkles apperin and u cn see em cleaerly… WDF… u lott need to chill and get the fact that salman khan is da best

  • Fathiya,
    I say in this subject, all the Indains hate A successful person in his work. For example Shahrukh Khan the bright Star in India Who has brought the Hindi cenima To the global. You find out that Indians do not recognize his success, but they like the other losers such Amir Khan and Salman Khan…..Ect.
    The same thing for Rani Mukraje, When she succeeded in DBH. Especially in the her jodi With Shahid Kapoor, And she’s the only actress able to dance with him. Proof Rani Mukharji and Shahid Kapoor the best couple and the best jodi forever in Hadippa Remix. And a lot of people such Mr Tharaka wrathful and Jealous of the best jodi of Rani and Shahid, Jealous of their good look and their chemistry.
    The Indians were controlled by jealousy.

  • Nasserine: well what I noticed, since posting my comments in this website that lots of ppl repeat like parrots what others copy them.. if someone say : what is Yash Raj films.. it’s all crap.. so everyone would believe in that and in what they hear without even thinking!!

    anyways Nasserine.. why should we give ourself a headache.. if we appreciate Rani’s performance in DBH, if we liked some Yash Raj films, if we value Shahrukh and consider him the best in bollywood and that he’s the bollywod himself.. so why should we bother about what others would say or think.. they can’t down grade a good filmstar when he’s strong..big.. solid.. powerful.. no they can’t.. if Sudeep who hates Shahrukh would spend day and night typing on this blog that Shahrukh is not a good actor.. Shahrukh is so an so.. who would listen to him? Noone and his fans would just ignore what he says.. that’s all.

  • Shakira: well I’ve a doubt.. u can’t be from UK.. if you’re living in UK then u can’t love a movie like Wanted!! so stop lying because Wanted wasn’t a successful movie overseas, but in India!

  • Dear Fathiya,
    You’re right, but I write my comments here for Interested by the others. I want to prove to the Indains, That the level of cinema has been reduced. And it is not possible to continue to compete with Hollywood, it is also necessary to delete the name of Bollywood. Because the name of Bollywood means the rival of Hollywood.

  • I agree with you Fathiya , he can’t be from U.K, and hates shahrukh khan. This is not only he likes Salman also hahahahahahahah, That’s funny. All Europeans like Shahrukh Khan and consider it note and a shining star in the Hindi cenima. He is a liar.

  • Rani doesnt have 10 hit films in her career…
    what a flop actresess.

    hahahaha
    Rani is flop
    DBH is flop and she doesnt have anymore futre movies

    hurrayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

  • This is 2 the people who didn’t like wanted. People r not fool here in india ok…if people can make salmans movies flop like yuvraaj, heroes, god tussi great ho..then y people made wanted a hit…people in india likes 2 watch good movies….take example… Billu was a movie which didn’t do well even it had a strong star cast…here only nasrine n fathiya r against salman n the movie wanted…i know u two people dont like salman n his movies… U people thnk that people see his movies only for his good looks…then its totally untrue…here in bollywood so many actors r having good looks equal 2 salman like zayed, fardeen, even john,..then y these actors movies not do well at the box office…..if u want only talent , then no body can beat irfan khan and nana patekar in acting…but for an actor he should have complete package…acting, dance, good looks evrythng ….n salman me ye sab khoobiyan hai….aur rahi awards ki baat…bollywood me tho jury sabse bekar hai…aur mai iska example bhi doonga…sharukh’s performance was excellent in mohabbatein compared 2 hrithiks performance in kaho na pyar hai…but the best actor award goes 2 hrithik…..aur salmans performance in tere naam was far better than hrithiks performance in koi milgaya…n the award goes 2 hrithik bcoz of his childish act….if u compare ajay devgans acting in mai aisa hi hoon, then devgan was better than hrithik in childish act. So in bollywood also 2 much partiality…aur rahi cartoon wali baat jo fathiya is saying that wanted action is like cartoon, rab ne banadi jodi me sharukh ki sumo fighting ka kya…wo scene tho sab se bada cartoon i have ever seen, aur main hoon na ka rikshe wala action scene..kya kahoge wo scene ke baare me,…atleast wanted action was looks real compare 2 above scenes….. here it doesnt mean that salman is only best, other actors r also gud like saif, sharukh, hrithin amir…..but fathiya n nasrine not acceptng the fact that salman n wanted is the best

  • Hataa S. ki. Gatta: holdon.. just holdon.. u hv mentioned many things in yr comment and let me explain each one by one
    1) Yuvraj God tussi Great Ho poor movies, bad movies in direction (I didn’t see Heros yet only the trailer) these 3 movies weren’t action movies, but I think if there were some action scenes which satisfy men the most in these 3 movies, probably they didn’t flop.. Wanted is an action movie..and the movie Wanted didn’t please the audience because of the songs or nice sceneries in the movie.. it pleased them because of the “action” scenes only.. and action scenes where just similar to cartoon movies.. that’s our opinion and that’s what we saw on the screen ( I also criticised Angelina Jullie’s movie Wanted.. I found it silly, stupid but was a blockbuster at the box office.. wasn’t it?!) even the movie Ghajini, while watching the trailer of the movie.. I posted my comment on this website and said that the action scenes look like Raajnikanth’s movies.. which means.. not realistic, similar to cartoon ( so are we against Aamir Khan’s movies.. no ofcourse!) and I’m sure that Ghajini did well in India ( but not overseas) because of those stupid silly action scenes..and if Ghajini was “only” a melodrama movie, with the same skript, with the same level of acting, and with some love scenes with Asin and with some nice songs but without those action scenes.. so the movie would’ve gone flop for sure..

    HSKG: so don’t deny this fact.

    And about the scene in Shahrukh’s RBNDJ.. that was very real.. a weak tiny man used his “brain” in the fighting scene so he won! why do u think it was like a cartoon scene? those big huge japanese men do these fightings in fact.. no one flew in the air.. shahrukh didn’t fight with 20 guys in the same time as it always happens in indian movies.. and yeah.. I loved Main hu Naa, was a very funny movie but I didn’t like the action scenes too.. that we could say some childish scenes done by Farah Khan.

    And: Ajay Devgan’s movie which u mentioned was a pathetic movie copied from a hollywood movie, and u can’t compare ajay’s acting with Hrithik’s acting in Koi Mel Gaya.. Hrithik’s role was much more difficult that Ajay’s role.. Hrithik deserved the award in this movie.

    If Salman became so popular because of 1) his look 2)

  • HSKG: sorry.. something went wrong and my comment was posted before finish typing the last 2 lines.

    Anyways.. Zayed & Fardeen hv no luck in bollywood.. Fardeen can’t act.. he’s been in the industry for such a long time now, but he’s not so talented and Zayed needs some good roles, some hit movies.. he too is unlucky.. but Salman was lucky.. he had a great look as an actor, as a hero and got some good movies which won at the box office.. so he became popular and ppl loved him, ther4, when he does some flop movies they never affect his stardom.. I don’t hate Salman, I like him but I don’t like his personality, his attitude, and his roles in comedy movies, not only his acting in comedy movies but also his acting while hosting his tv show Dus Ka Dum… in the 1st episodes he was so strange! he was loud and tried to be funny and his attitude was like crazy ppl!! but in the last 2 episodes.. he was ok, tried to control himself.

  • For you Hataa saawan ki ghataa.
    I’m not Indian and I’ dont hate Salman Khan, and I have written my comments just (since I do not judge any work through love or hate. I judge the quality) and for the thousandth time I not accepting the movie Wanted because the action this movie look likes the old storie of 80’s filme Western stupid storie and very old. I will not leave the watch American films for the Action Hindi HAHAHA. You are really crazy If you think that you have the Action Cinema, action hindi hahahahaha that’s really funny.
    That you understand, if you don’t I’m not responsible for your idiocy.

    Rani can act as salmans mother is she likes

  • Oh god. what a forum I am reading. Actually Nessrine it’s very clear that you are talking rubbish and you have no facts to prove your arguments in here. It is very clear that you are a jelouse women.

    This thread is about Salman Khan. Why are you coming and talking about Rani M in here.
    Actually there are so much younge actresses who are doing better than Rani. It is a fact.

    I agree with Tharaka. She has points. Nessrine you have failed to prove any of your points.

    Salman Khan is the Best. And I am sure that he will rock the whole world with the movie London Dreams.
    Insha Allah

  • You ugly man not Rani. If it were not jealous of Rani as you said that, salman have a new movie with Karenna, and his movie playing at the same time of blue and all the best. So why you don’t say Akshay Kumar flop, or Sanjay Dutt flop. I tell you because you bear any grudge against Rani, and you jealous of her.
    Rani is gooooood dancer, and she dance better then your ugly old women Karenna, and your ugly Deepika
    Deepika like House maid. And Karenna can act as salmans mother is she likes. THIS IS THE TROUTH STUPIDMAN.

  • @Nesserine and Faathiya…Whats wid u guys..show some self respect for yourselves(kyun gaaliyaan sun ne ka kaam kar rahe ho)..U r teasing Salman’s Fans in a blog of Salman’s movie..its insane..U both prbbly hv gone crazy..c da reviews of MAMK..its being criticised badly..but c dat article where all the three Diwali releases are compared..ppl voted most 4 MAMK..cant u c da popularity of Salman..Crazeness 4 Salman..so if u dnt lyk Salman then stay out of it…Look I’m a big Salman fan..but it has nvr made me, not to appreciate any good movie starring ne XYZ…or not to appreciate any good actors…Njoy good movies and appreciate that yaar..whosoever is starring in that…
    And dear Ness nd Faathiya..can’t u u’stand..movie makin has not just been a art..it has mor become a business..it is subjected to mk max profit..so every movie has an USP..This movie is segmented for this market..kind of..Wanted has its USP and it hit the small screens..made big business 4m small screens..coz it was made in dat way only..We can nvr u’stand the filmi business better than the producers,actors, directors,promoters,distributors….Wanted producers must hv known that the film will do better in Indian territories dan overseas…if they r nt worried y u guys r worried…
    Movies lyk Yaadein,KANK did better in overseas than India…Yaadein was a flop in India but was vry good in overseas…KANK was good in India but did marvelous in ovrseas..dese movies had da USPs, which attracted the NRIs…
    n Faathiya…did u find Ghajni a cartoon movie…due to the kinda action scenes in it?4 sure Wanted is better..as far as action scenes r concerned…waise I luvd da romantic angle of he movie..Asin’s acting.nd Amir was as usual damn good…

  • This does not belong to, Okkkkk Mr Abhinav. I’m free in my opinion and my comments, us you exactly.
    And I do not think if I criticized Salman I be not respected myself, you don’t show me what I do okkkkkkk.
    and for your Salman is flop and all his film flop, and for KANK had dull opening in India.
    flooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooop.
