20-minute Salman in Main Aurr Mrs Khanna?



Is Salman Khan making a special appearance in Main aur Mrs Khanna, produced by brother Sohail Khan and UTV jointly? Is it not the main lead? That's what almost everyone in the industry believes. Almost everyone is under the impression that Salman makes a 20-minute appearance in the film.
"That's completely untrue," director Prem Soni says. "The fact is that Salman is the lead man of the film. He's not making a special appearance. It's a beautiful story of a married couple (Salman, Kareena) and would obviously be incomplete without them."
So how did these rumours originate?
"I'm clueless. We kept hearing these rumours earlier, but I chose to keep quiet about them because I wanted to complete the film and then clarify about it. Now that the film is complete, the world can have a look at the film and judge for themselves," the debutante director adds.
"We've shot the film in Australia (Melbourne), Thailand (Krabi) and India (Panchgani, Mumbai) and Salman has been a part of every schedule. It's their (Salman, Kareena) story. How could Salman not be there?"

Wanted is only for extreme fans of Salman


This is for fans and foes of Salman Khan.
Fans, rejoice, Salman is back with a vengeance with Wanted. This is his deadliest performance to date.
Yes, you read it right!
Foes, sorry, you won't be able to lash out at him or pick on him or launch a vicious tirade this time. The spate of flops should come to a grinding halt with Wanted.
Let's get this straight. Wanted rides on Salman Khan's star power. He may not be the best actor in town, but in a film like Wanted, in a role that seems like an extension of his personality, you can't think of anyone else enacting this role with flourish.
A remake of Pokiri (made in Telugu and Tamil), Wanted is a full on masala film. Recall the successful potboilers of yore. Recall how the good guy would reduce 10 hoodlums to pulp in a fraction of seconds. Recall how heroism prevailed in the end, no matter how adverse the circumstances were or how powerful the villains would be. Recall those movies in which logic took a backseat since the focus was on entertainment. You relive those moments as reel after reel of Wanted unfolds.
A departure from candyfloss movies and diabetic-sweet characters that most Hindi movies boast of, Wanted takes you back to those days when popular cinema reigned supreme, when the sole motive of the film-maker was to entertain.
The daring hero and his herogiri, the naïve girlfriend, the corrupt cop, the dreaded don, the don's moll, the fist-clinching henchmen. Wanted is for those who seek unabashed entertainment and relish masala films. Damn the indomitable critics, pseudo intellectuals and connoisseurs of parallel cinema, this one's not for them. Wanted is for the aam junta.
Radhe (Salman Khan) is a hardcore gangster. A sharpshooter with a sharp brain, he works for Gani Bhai (Prakash Raj), the dreaded Mafioso, but on his own terms. Totally fearless, Radhe single-handedly eliminates Gani Bhai's enemies one by one; making more enemies in the process.
He's astounded when the young and pretty Jahnvi (Ayesha Takia Azmi) professes her liking for him. Inspector Talpade's (Mahesh Manjrekar) lustful eyes fall on Jahnvi. He doesn't know that Jahnvi has developed a soft corner for Radhe.
Whether it's the Golden Gang or Data Pawle's Gang, everybody wants the biggest piece of the lucrative cake that is Mumbai and the only way to get it is to eliminate whoever gets in the way. As Mumbai reels under bloody gang wars, Commissioner Ashraf Khan (Govind Namdeo) vows to make the city crime free.
Director Prabhu Dheva serves a hardcore masala fare that's not inventive or path-breaking by any standard, but the execution of several scenes as also of stunts takes the graph of the film north. In fact, if at all there's any film that competes with Ghajini as far as raw appeal goes, it's Wanted. Every action/stunt/chase here is choreographed with aplomb.
Watch out for the action sequence at the interval point or the penultimate half-an-hour. The climax is sure to send scores of action lovers in frenzy, as Salman bashes the evil forces black and blue. It wouldn't be erroneous to state that the climax is worth the price of the ticket, samosa, sandwich, popcorn, nachos and cola put together.
