Review



Story

Rambabu (Gopichand) is the young man who has no job at all. Peculiarly, his parents (Chandramohan and Jayasudha) also encourage their son to stay only at home and eat without doing any job. Accidentally he falls in love with a medico Nandini (Deeksha Seth) who has a secret mission. Although she is a medical student, her flash back pushes her to do certain activities secretly. What are those activities? That is a facet of heroine.

Eventually Nandini uses Rambabu’s love on her to take vengeance on the criminals those made her family an ash. What is the vengeance and who put an end to her family?

There comes Basivi Reddy (Prakash Raj), a rugged gangster who killed Nandini’s family members. Hence he faces trouble from Rambabu as a part of Nandini’s revenge. What happens next is an easy guess.

Artists Performance:

Gopichand is fine with his habitual performance. There is a humor line in his characterization and he carried that well.

Deeksha Seth is just there for some glamour but that glamour is not exploited well. She has to get trained in the aspect of performance and expressions.

Jayasudha and Chandramohan are ok in their roles. Barhmanandam’s comedy is weak.

Prakash Raj’s character lacks depth. Nazar’s role is impressive.

Coming to technical aspects, cinematography scores good marks. Music is average. Story is good, screenplay is bad and dialogues are ok.

Plus Points:

* Production values
* Story line

Minus points:

* Comedy weak
* Narration meek
* Screenplay bleak
* Music

Final Analysis:

Writer BVS Ravi debuted with this film. Huge casting, good production values and required technicians joined him. He weaved the story point impressively but goofed up with screenplay. The interval bang could be when heroine throws the pistol in hero’s hands. But the break happened after a fight which spoiled the suspense factor. Second half picked up during heroine’s flash back but again dropped with elastic narration.

On a whole, watching ‘Wanted’ is like a bumpy ride. The graph suffered several ups and downs. Director would have done enough homework to tight the loose ends. The movie could have sounded better had he made corrections in screenplay in the matter of length of scenes, comedy track and depth in villain characters.

Take off is impressive but the first half on a whole is passive. Second half picks up at a few moments but falls down at climax with routine and predictable scenes. This revenge drama would have worked really well if director’s judgment was corrected.
