Story Line :

Rambabu (Gopichand) is a Bevarse boy who does nothing for career. Inspite of this, his parents Jayasudha and Chandra Mohan who love him completely because they think they have earned enough for him.His parents encourage him not to do any work.

Rambabu comes across Nandini (Deeksha Seth), a house surgeon. When the girl saves his mom’s life, Rambabu falls for her and chases her.His parents want her as Rambabu’s wife. After almost following her everywhere, saving her from goons few times, Rambabu gets frustrated and asks her what she wants him to do to prove his love for her. The girl asks him to kill Basava Raju (Prakash Raj) and three of his relatives, as a revenge for killing her honest under  cop father (Nazar) and her entire family. Rambabu warns Prakash Raj and tells him that he will kill all his associates soon.Prakash Raj starts searching for Gopichand to kill him.

Positive Asspects :

The first half of the movie goes swiftly without any boring elements.Director chooses to tell the story showing three different characters – Rambabu, Nandini and Basava Raju, and joins them all towards the end of first half. Gopichand is good in action scenes, though he has to get his comedy timing right. Deeksha Seth has a lengthy role compared to her two previous films and she looks cute in mostly traditional dresses. Prakash Raj, Nazar, Subba Raju, Ahutri Prasad, RK etc. do what they do in most other films too.

Brahmanandam generates some comedy scenes in the movie as usual, and so does Ali in a short scene. The movie is interlaced with some laughable comedy situations which come from Jayasudha and Chandramohan. They bring all their experience to make some extremely cinematic situations truly laughable. Otherwise the story is a typical revenge saga, which starts off differently, focuses on the love story and then leads to action sequences.

Negative Asspects :

Cliche works to an extent. Almost every story we see has already been told, but it is the presentation that gives it a different feel. This is exactly where the second half of Wanted fails. Even though the writer wanted to add depth to Deeksha’s character by showing her at strange places with stranger men, we never know what she was doing there with them! The flashback episode, which was used to reason her character, focuses more on gore than on some originally done content! As a result we have a family killed in most inventive ways possible minus the emotions that such a loss can bring. Once we know the flashback anything after it becomes lengthy and the movie still takes few songs and fight sequences to come to an end.

Technical Details :

Cinematography is just about good by Rasool, though the songs have been shot decently well. Chakri’s music for the songs is avg, but he should do something more to accentuate emotional scenes in a movie. Dialogues are funny when required, but end up being too loud in ‘drama’ situations and too contrived sometimes. Editing is too sloppy and the actions sequences are too long to be digestible.

Verdict :

Movie has nothing new in it and the story is predictable by a regular movie watcher.Firsh half is good and second half was out of track.
