More alive than dead
‘Wanted’ is Salman Khan’s Ghajini. No, he doesn’t suffer from any short-term memory loss in the film. Rather he mouths about half a dozen times the dialogue: “Ek baar maine jo commitment kar di, phir main apni bhi nahin sunta”. But, like Aamir, Sallu does get to flaunt his rippling muscles, his biceps, triceps, abs, and what not (including the glint of his Vicco-vajradanti teeth), in a series of bone-breaking, jaw-crushing, blood-spluttering fights that makes you feel he’s the ‘last action hero’ that sadly came too late in the day.
Salman Khan, the darling of masses, plays to the gallery in Wanted. To an extent, the movie is a showcase of Salman’s looks, his brawny bod, his dance moves and his overall personality, save his acting. And the star, whose career obit has already been penned and will now be edited by his detractors, manages to Read the full story

While Akshay Kumar and Deepika Padukone are going all out to promote their latest flick Chandni Chowk To China, let’s not forget that the film has yet another veteran actor in an important role. Yes Ladies and Gentleman…we are talking about none other than Mithun Chakraborty.
While Mithun has been seen here and there in the promos of the film, not much is known about his character. We quizzed director Nikhil Advani about Mithun da’s role in the film. “Mithun da has a very important role in the film. He plays Akshay’s foster parent. Akshay calls him Dada. He owns a Dhaba. He is the one man Akshay should be listening to but never listens to”, says Nikhil.
If the buzz is to be believed then Mithun’s character does bring in a lot of emotional moments to the film. “Yes, Mithun’s character is the emotional backbone of the film. Because of the tragedy that happens to Mithun, the entire film changes” It would be interesting to see the coming together of current superstar Akshay Kumar share screen space and veteran actor Mithun Chakraborty for the first time ever.
