Wanted
Wanted (2009), directed by Prabhu Deva, is a high-octane Indian action film that marked a significant turning point in Salman Khan's career. The movie, a remake of the Telugu film "Pokiri," revolves around Radhe, played by Salman Khan, an undercover cop tasked with infiltrating the underworld to apprehend the notorious gangster Gani Bhai, portrayed by Prakash Raj.
Known for its relentless action sequences, dynamic choreography, and intense performances, Wanted struck a chord with audiences, establishing itself as a box-office success. The film's stylized portrayal of the Mumbai underworld, coupled with Salman Khan's charismatic presence, contributed to its mass appeal.
Wanted not only rejuvenated Salman Khan's career but also became a trendsetter in the action genre, influencing subsequent Bollywood films. The film's catchy dialogues, particularly Salman Khan's famous line "Ek baar jo maine commitment kar di, uske baad toh main khud ki bhi nahi sunta," (Once I've made a commitment, I don't even listen to myself after that), became iconic. Wanted is celebrated for its adrenaline-pumping action and played a pivotal role in redefining the action genre in Indian cinema.
