Wanted is a box office HIT!

Salman Khan after a lean patch, which included several disasters Post-Partner (2006), has finally hit the bullseye at the Indian box-office.

Wanted has broken the 1st Monday record set by Ghajini in December last year, which is an achievement in itself although Monday was a nation-wide holiday. With weekend business of around 18 crores and EID business of 7 crores, Wanted takes its 4 day total to a spectacular 25 crores. With business expected to remain steady over the working weekdays, the Salman Khan starrer could end up with a net gross of 38 crores for Week 1. We predicted 45 crores for the week, but due to the movie not performing upto expectation in multiplexes especially on Day 1 and 2, the collections would be slightly short of extra-ordinary / record breaking.

The word of mouth is fantastic and the movie is dominating the single screens in smaller cities and towns.

Salman Khan has finally scored at the box office and returns with a bang into the Top 5. Ayesha Takia Azmi’s couldn’t have  hoped for a better start post-marriage. And finally Prabhu Deva is a director to look forward tom he’ll be in demand much like Ghajini director AR Murugadoss.

Update : The latest updates trickling in indicate out-of-the-world business on Tuesday, close to 6 crores nett gross. Business on Wednesday has been very steady. 40 crores in Week 1 is possible!!

Dil Bole Hadippa update : For those wondering about Dil Bole Hadippa’s fate, here’s bad news. The movie has crashed on Tuesday almost everywhere, Wednesday witnessed a further drop in collections. HIT is highly unlikely, a flop could be signs of a remarkable career coming to an end.  Time for Rani to get married, you think?

Anyway, Wanted is a HIT and Salman is BACK! Salman fans and others, drop in your comments below!!

  • Salman is man,

    He is the true Superstar

    Sharukh is selfish and insecure Ass

    Aamir is Great star

    Salman is better human then any of the star in Bollywood.

    Aamir and Sharukh got good directors so they are stars because of that only?

    but Salman is a selfmade superstar, rather he made directors super directors?

    Like him every star copies charity, salman means true charity?

    the most handsome Superstar.

    God bless Salmaan

    the worst part is in hyderabad Cinemax stupid managment dint even put his banner for running the film

    but still his movie is running housefull, they are jealous and there is some conspiracy hope sharukh is doing all that negative ?

    we all wanted media to make this as a issue why not displaying his poter l banner as they did for small telugu films not wanted?

    Guys BAN Cinemax?

  • Salman has a bad habit of ruining his reputation of ‘SUCCESS GUARANTEED superstar’ by working in low budget movies for the sake of friendship and all…….. But in movies well selected like TERE NAAM n WANTED he is a real SUPERSTAR !!! I expect salman to be serious to his fan followings and give quality movies like WANTED………… Looking forword to LONDON DREAMS !!! We all wish SALMAN to carry on coz he is ATTITUDE personified.

  • salman has done real great job in wanted. it is his carrer best perfomenc witch deserve best actor award or best action award

  • the tamil and telugu versions were super hits for Vijay and Mahesh babu who starred in the 2 languages respectively. so it is no wonder that Wanted is a similar hit in Hindi too

  • I am so happy that Wanted is a huge hit. Salman’s hard work has finally paid off.I am sure he has silenced his critics once and for all.

  • Sallu miya completely rocks,no doubt the film is a big big hit as expected.but what surprises u in d movie is the climax,one could never even think of d climax watching d movie.i think salman’s acting as well as prabhudheva’s direction is what that makes d movie super duper hit. congrats salman u deserve it.

  • salman is a super star yes Edward u r right, salman should rec.this year best actor awards for wanted he is really wanted by the fans

  • salman my lord u r the king of the king pliz rec. this years best actor awards any movi but u should rec. no one else u are really wanted by the fans

  • Yes Salman is back after Partner with bang bang bang dekho charo taraf hai flops hi flops or mai le kar aaya hoon blockbuster.

  • Wanted is a blockbuster and totally salman rocks in the film. His best performance to date, he deserve best actor award for 2009 and he must get it. love u buddy (salman).

  • hi,
    Wanted is definately a superb movie. i went to watch it with mediocre expectations and was surprised at the outcome….Salman Khan’s performance is the most effortless i have seen since AAA and HAHK. He is much more flexible, fitter, looking younger and more expressionful than he has ever been before…i wonder whether he has had some plastic surgery..nah just joking.

    Prabhu Deva has made a very good film with good direction, editing etc and has fitted it well in the masala mode for bollywood audience. though it has some typical South Indian action sequences etc, Salman makes it believable just like Rajnikant.

    Prakash Raj gives an incredible performance…For the first time I wished the Villain lived a little longer to add more entertainment…

    Ayesha Takia has given a cute performance … she looks very pretty and the couple look great all along. The anarkali and salim sequence is out of the world.

    Salman Khan is back with a bang….I bet Katrina Kaif will go running after him again….as she must have probably thought he was dipping but now the world knows he is back and she has to maintain her innings in the industry and surely, she cannot last long without Salman…after all she cannot act for nuts and pretty faces dont last long…but for supporters like Salman Khan backing them ! No offence..this is what i believe to be true about Katrina and even Aishwarya Rai

  • Dear Sir,
    I am sixtytwo year Old person and a retired Joiint Director of Education of Karnataka.

    I like Salman Khan for one reason. Too much of negative publicity against, Salman Khan which made me realise some unseen hand s handling it. There is a limit for everything and I evinced interest in the affairs of Salman Khan and realised that He is a very good actor and ultimately Became one of his fans.

    I have seem most of his films in my house through CDs. But when Wanted was released I wanted to see it in the theatre and I went to a theatre in Fraser town and was really thrilled with his macho He man like Role of a Killer and from the very bigining to theend It is out and out an entertainer and I enjoyed the film. He remainded me and appeared like the local Indian Terminator. Now it appears to be a big hit. Congradulations, to Salman, Prabudeva and Boney Kapoor.

    Dear Salman, If you happens to come to Bangalore, Please give me a ring. I am available on 09448844649 and I will be able to come and see you
    I plan to invite to a beautiful function as a chief guest for which manyother degnetries I intend to invite. ( Ak baar maine committtment kardiya to my mera bi nahi sunata). I waiting for your call.
