Will Salman Khan’s Wanted work at the box office?

Those who watched the Wanted : Dead and Alive trailer with Love Aaj Kal last week, would be aware of the hype the movie has managed to generate. The noise was deafening throughout the short theatrical trailer of the film.

The trade expects the film to open big, given its mass appeal and the fact that the film stars Salman Khan in an action role after a long time should be enough to guarantee a huge initial. The rest would, quite obviously, depend on content.

Here’s our box office prediction for Wanted : Dead and Alive

  • Opening weekend – 24 crores.. which should ensure a HIT (minimum) and the biggest opening weekend for Salman Khan.
  • 1st week – If content is strong, should be close to 40 crores. Else should be in the range 33 – 35 crores net.
  • If accepted, the film has strong chances of being Salman Khan’s biggest grosser in quite a while. Much needed for the actor!

  • Shahrukh doesn’t look his age..some lines in his face doesn’t make him look bad unlike Salman.. Salman was handsome in the past, but he’s not any more. He was ok in Kyon ki, but after this movie, he didn’t care about his look.

    Shahrukh is smart and even if he’s growning older,he takes care of his look.. he knows he’s an actor and actor must always look good on the screen.. and keeps his weight, he’ll look good even when he reaches the ages of 60.. I’m sure.

  • Hye FATHIYA :- do u know one thing i dont know exact place there are statues of only great 3 persons
    1. Amithab Bachan
    2. SAlman Khan
    3. Sachin Tendulkar
    SAlman was 7th handsome guy in the world !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Now TEll Me who is real Hero is there any other hero like SRK, Akshay, any one……????????????
    so Fathiya Just Agree that Sallu Bhai is hero of bollywood ,,,,,also untill his last breath he will be HERO HERO HERO Of Bollywood@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

  • one more Fathiya
    Watch Properly movie Rab ne bana di jodi SRK’s age will be make out as if he is of 50 ok no personality nothing his cheeks are gone tooooooo inside by Smoking also kicked out of stadium for smoking do u remember so poor
    main thing he has insulted his religion the man who dont know about himself he isnot human being okkkkk

  • Nazeer:DOnot argue with tht fathiya,she think wht she is one who is always right!!!everyone knows who looks old.in millions ,there might be 1-2 such rotten person who thinks their opinion is only right and other r wrong!!!

  • salman khan is really going to rock in wanted… this movie has a really good stunts and screen affect….. i hope that this movie is going to rock the box office……………………

  • I just wonder how u Sudeep & nazir look!! why don’t u post yr pictures on this website to see how u both look?!! you guys are terrible and jealouse and hv sooooo baaaad taste!! if Salman was already selected as one of the most looking guys in this world so that was in the past..he’s losing it now.. and dumb ppl like u who never know how to value any actor correctly would consider Salman as best actor in bollywood there4 u guys and because of ppl like u hollywood ppl never bother about bollywood!

    U know what.. when I told some girls in my family about Salman Khan, that he’s been considered as one of the most good looking men in this world they just laughed and said: yakh.. we don’t see him a handsome guy.. Hrithik deserves to be and not Salman

    Women see men differently and u r guys and girls!!

  • hey fathiya and all…stop this talking abt looks…beautiful face is somethig wat god gives us.. some look handsome while some will be ugly…so pls dont say abt that…no one like saying he is not handsome…but regarding an actor everything depends on his acting ability and popularity… and frankly i think SRK is much better than Salman in acting and popularity…in fact he is the one who is being called as king of bollywood…we should accept the fact frends..and actually i like salman… but saying frankly he has not given a good film for the last 5 or 6 years…even some of his film cannot be watched completely.. its all so boring..how nice he was in judwa, pyar kiya to darna kya… but now where is his acting.. i think he forgot acting… anyway a hit is necessary for him to survive… the telugu and tamil version of wanted was a blockbuster… so we wil hope to be this also a hit….

  • Lucky: I am saying my opinion about Salman.. if u dont agree so it’s up to you.. well if u ppl love someone so u cant force others to love him and value him blindly because u all do!!!! sudeep hates Shahrukh.. can I force him to love him?! let hin hate him.. so what? Is shahrukh going to lose anything?!!

    But Salman is a loser.. and this movie would never work..and the main reason is that they’re using the same hollywood movie’s name (wanted) for Angelina Julie which was also a stupid dumb movie!!

  • Hey friends! Don’t waste your time on salman’s look, who care that he is handsome or not, we are here to post comments on his acting, I agree that Salman has a lot of fans from all around the world, but if some one ask me about him as an actor, I will gave him 3 of 10 .

  • Fathiya:u r just a old man and stupid guy who always play love story movie ,donot show any different role ?u said by people like us hollywood people never see bollywood.u really suckss….Y hollywood people donot see bollywood because all actor play same role like SRK -always love story(which really sucks)

    We young generation guy donot want to see tht old SRK playing lover boy role.He looks like my grand father.
    Who said srk is best actor of bollywood.He is good actor no denying on tht.So plz stop writing crap about other. and WANTED is gonna rocksssss…..

    and last thing..if u wanna c me then u r always welcome in facebook.u can c me how i look.Miss fathiya or whatever ur name is

    I have gut feeling this movie will work and will be hit

    INDICINE TEAM:Wht is cost of making of WANTED?

  • ****Who said salman is best actor of bollywood.He is good actor no denying on tht.So plz stop writing crap about other. and WANTED is gonna rocksssss…..

  • Guyz……….Stop criticizing each other……… every one has his/her own taste…some people may think that Salman is not a good actor like Fathiya and Ahsan But Same might like his acting like Nazeer and Sudeep. every one has his own opinion, so what is the point in fighting with each other???? Don’t fight, only the time will tell who is right and who is wrong???? By the way, Sudeep and Nazeer How many fimfare awards in the best actor category have Salman won till now???????? The answer is none…..Isn’t that enough to not to count him among top 5???? As we have SRK, Amir, Hrithik, Amitabh,akshay who have dominated in this category all these years……… and we have some good new talent coming in who can really act better than Salman like Shahid Kapoor and Ranbir Kapoor. I don’t know whether Wanted will be a hit or Flop but one thing is for sure, Salman will have to work really hard to get into top 5.

    Fahad

  • Fahad:Award donot judge who is better.award is just given those person who r friendly with the organisor.Indian award really sales in the money.IF award has to judge the actor then y akshay kumar donot get award even his 4 out of 4 film were hit at box office in 2007.Y always SRK nominated in every time in award ceremony even his performance is not nice.There r many actor like N.shah,binaya pathak who perform much better role than SRK donot even get nominee.And award show like IIFA,filmfare r the family show of mr.abitabh bachan.he always nominee his son in best actor catogary.Y so happen ?can u tell me and LAST year BEST FILM award THERE WAS DOSTANA IN BEST MOVIE CATOGARY but not singh is king !!Y is so!!!!!
    i also feel sahid is good actor.but ranbir kapoor is overratted.I never like his acting too

    Award doesnot show who is nice or better actor.Y really shows r which actor is liked by the audience.IF u judge in audience,u will always find salman khan in top 5.Even though salman is not my fav.actor but still he deserve in it!!!!HE has not hit to his credit in last year but still hope he will win more heart of the aam janta!!!

  • hai fahad there is no meaning in talking with sudeep… bcos he is talking as if he is giving the award…salman can hav only 7th or 8th place… even that is doubt….but one thing i wil say sudeep… salman was in top position along with SRK and amir befor 10 years..but now he is goin down and down… but as i like salman i too want this film to be a hit…

  • VINSHAL:I m same like u..I also want salman khan movie to be hit.But i really feel he is better human being than SRK.In acting he is not like SRK but still he is nice guy and heartful person.Salman is my best only after Akshay kumar

  • hai sudeep…i dont think that salman is a better human than SRK… bcos SRK is not havin even a civil case against him… but salman is havin 3 or 4 criminal case… also if he was good man he would not hav gone to ash’s house night and make problem.. so as goin to shooting set andcreating pro. any way leave it.. we r not here to discuss who is better man since we dont know them personally…so lets talk abt movies yaar… but one thing we need to accept yaar.. almost 95% people love SRK…and u kno in japan and USA only SRK is having fans association… and salmans not even a single film has completed 1week abroad… but leave it… hope this wil blow the theatres… good luck salman….

  • People who love this Old Haklu Khan are Insane … Salman is the only star in bollywood who have maintained Himself.
    Guys u all can watch Salman’s 6 pack abbs in Wanted…Its not Fake 6 pack abs like Haklu Khan who painted in OSO and getting publicity.

  • VINSHAL:Yes he has criminal case but i already told he has high temper which sometime create prb.But no one can change fact that Salman khan is a huge star!!!!so hope so his next movie works.I know many people will not agree this fact but once movie release we c whether he had done good work or not!!!!!My gut feeling is tht this movie will work.

    THe thing i hate abt SRK is he always say he is king of bollywood and he is only true actor.Aamir khan also once said tht No big star will say like tht.Yes ,wht aamir khan said was true.Have ever sachin tendulkar said he is biggest star of cricket .The answer is No.He always say i m still learning.But THis SRK say i m best and no one can compete with me!!!this selfish attitude is wht i donot like saruk khan.

    I m from nepal and about 60% of people here also donot like SRK.MY majority of friend also dislike him.anyways i m moving out of topic.so plz donot delete this comment

    ALLEN:yes u have given good name to SRK.

    Songs r not so good but still feel there is something on movie which will work

  • VINSHAL:look at site bollywoodhungama.com…and look at the list of upcoming movie.And u will always find the movie of salman khan ,which people wanna c is always in higher percentage than any other actor.

  • Asma: who told u that I hv no right to express my opinions about some actors?!! I’m not swearing or describing him badly like some ppl here do.. when they talk about Shahrukh who’s the King of Bollywood and not yr Sallu!!!

    U mentioned Maine Pyaar Kiya.. an old hit movie.. how many years since he did it? 20 years!! and if u just go back and watch this movie.. you’d laught.. his acting is terrible as a newcomer, even the girl doesn’t know how to act.. Iwatched it again a while ago.. the script & the songs were good..but their performance was bad.. Salman isn’t a great actor.. but u ppl can’t face this fact because u like him!!

    And Partner was one of those shallow comedy movies.. just a pastime, not a great one.. I can’t remember for Salman any good movie except Phir Melenge with Shilpa & KKHH in a short role he played.. Lucky wasn’t bad too.. that’s all.. he really needs a great script + a great director to give him a hit movie..he needs a difficult role to play not just to be funny on the screen!

  • Asma: if u watch Kaho Na Pyaar Hai for Hrithik, Deewana for Shahrukh, Qayamat se Qayamat Tak for Aamir.. you’ll find that these 3 actors proved that they’re much more talented than Salman as newcomers.. Salman was only a good looking actor when he was younger.. and that was in his credit and the reason for his success.

  • Even Ashmit Patel (Amisha Patel’s brother) who did Intehaa & Murder is a much better actor.. this actor has no luck.. he’s talented and a good looking but disappeared from bollywood!

  • Sudeep: now u don’t like Shahrukh.. it’s ok.. no one can force u to love him.. it’s not only u on this website who doesn’t like him.. there’re also many others.. but stop lying about him.. Shahrukh never said that he’s the king of bollywood.. stupid dumb ppl would take advantage when he tries to make some jokes about himself during interviews.. and it’s u and some other haters who would do so.. u can’t bring him down when u try to spread these kind of lies.. I saw all Shahrukh’s interviews, and I read also in magazines, weekly, followed up everything.. he never said that!!

  • Sudeep: I do agree with you that Only Awards can’t really mean that the actor is good. But you just tell me one occassion where you thought that Salman should have won the award in place of Amir, SRk or Hrithik in the last few years with solid reasons…..

  • Fathiya: you are really amazing because i think no one else can defend SRK better than you. Keep it up………..

  • hey fathiya … i love you yaar…whatever u hav said is absolutely correct… the best example u hav givn is salmans acting in maine pyar kiya…and things u told about ashmit patel… i cant understand y salman is not getting a good movie for the last 10 to 12 years… phir milenge was good but was flop… and one advice to you.. there is no fact in talking with SRK haters… bcos whole world is calling him king of bollywood.. in an interview amitabh too said that he was not the king but it was SRK the real king.. even SRk haters know that SRK is the NO.1 from 1994 wen bazigar released..these 15 yrs only he has dominated the bollywood industry…if this is wrong INDICINE can post a comment aginst this…not anyone else… bcos salman’s fans wil say anything to support him even if it is wrong

  • Fahad & vinshal: u know why Phir Milenge wasn’t a hit movie? Because indian ppl don’t like serious stories.. don’t like to weep.. don’t like good script.. most of them like hanko panko kachra e.g. golmaal, welcome, partner.. just some stupid funny movies.. and these movies would be some super hit movies.

    Do u all know why Salman gets movies although he does flop after a flop? Do u all think that he’s a talented brilliant actor? No.. it’s because he was a good looking charming actor.. girls were crazy for him and for his figure, body.. there4 producers never worry.. they do sign him for their movies coz they know that he got millions of fans who r blind.. never bother about his acting, but his look!!

    Shahrukh worked very hard, as Akshay did and he won because he’s smart.. he’s a scorpio.. and scorpio ppl r very intelligent.. know how to make business and reach the top.. Shahrukh deserves to be the imporer of bollywood.. not only the king.
