Wanted

Wanted is a 2009 Indian action comedy crime thriller film directed by Prabhu Deva. The film stars Salman Khan, Ayesha Takia, and Vinod Khanna. The story follows Radhe (Salman Khan), a gangster who works for Gani Bhai (Vinod Khanna), a powerful mafia boss. Radhe is a fearless and ruthless killer who eliminates Gani Bhai's enemies one by one, but he also has a soft spot for his friends and loved ones. The film begins with the introduction of Radhe, who is shown to be a skilled fighter and marksman. He is sent by Gani Bhai to eliminate a rival gangster, but the police arrive unexpectedly, and Radhe engages them in a high-speed chase. He manages to escape, but the police commissioner, Ashraf Khan (Ashraf-Ul-Haq), is determined to catch him. Meanwhile, Radhe meets Jahnvi (Ayesha Takia), a beautiful aerobics instructor who is being harassed by her boss and a corrupt police officer named Talpade (Mahesh Manjrekar). Radhe helps Jahnvi and her mother, Laxmi (Kavitha Duggal), several times, and they develop a close bond. However, when Jahnvi discovers that Radhe is a gangster, she is shocked and tries to stay away from him. The plot thickens when Gani Bhai arrives in Mumbai and plans to kill a minister by blowing up a school. Radhe disagrees with this plan, as it would involve killing innocent people, including children. He argues with Gani Bhai but ultimately decides to go through with the plan to protect his own life. The police are hot on Radhe's trail, led by Ashraf Khan, who is determined to catch the elusive gangster before he can carry out his plan. In a thrilling climax, Radhe faces off against Gani Bhai's henchmen and the police, using his skills as both a fighter and an assassin. He manages to kill Gani Bhai after a brutal battle, thus saving the city from his reign of terror. However, Talpade kidnaps Ashraf Khan's daughter and threatens her life if Gani Bhai isn't released, leading to an intense standoff between Radhey and Talpade. Ultimately though, through his cunning resourcefulness and bravery in the face of danger, he emerges victorious once more.
