Our verdict
Wanted is a 2009 Hindi action-comedy-crime-thriller that delivers Salman Khan in a rugged gangster role under Prabhu Deva's direction. The film's mix of shootouts, comedy and a rebellious protagonist makes it a typical masala entertainer. However, the A certificate and 155-minute runtime mean it's best suited for adult audiences who enjoy over-the-top action.
