but for me, even though I watch Hindi and other Indian films, this is mediocre. I don't approve of such nonsense, with no story, mindless scenes, and forced "masala" which most Indian audiences may fall head over heels for. This fim is a representation of Indian cinema at it's worst and the fact that it was a blockbuster makes me wonder whether the audiences have been dumbed down. Films like "Singh is Kinng", Kambakkt Ishq", "Partner", "Housefull", "Blue", "Do Knot Disturb", along with other old fashioned and badly made films like "We Are Family", Kurbaan, Lamhaa, make me lose faith in the industry. Some people that have seen bollywood their whole lives may find these films to be OK. Films like Udaan, Tere Bin Laden, and LSD are films that are well made and deserve a larger audience but the world of stars, foreign locations, etc is ruining everything.
Salman Khan stars in wanted. It takes place in a nice foreign location(at least the dance sequences), there is no proper, scripted story. Unfortunately it seems as if this is what the audiences want. No story, just entertainment. No wonder there are still "boy meets girl" films coming out from all the major production companies that take place outside India. Don't people get sick of this since it has been happening since the 90's and even earlier. The next film is "Anjaana Anjaani". Recently there was also "I hate love stories"...This formulaic crap is killing the industry.
