His son, Rajveer Shekhawat, who is revealed to be Radhe, arrives at the place of his father's death. Radhe is infuriated and decides to avenge the deaths of his father and brother.

A complete Paisa Vasool
Honestly, when I saw
the promos I had no expectations at all. But after watching Wanted, all I
can say that it is a real nice movie. It takes you back to the glorious
80s, where our hero used to beat up dozens of gundas all alone, save
his girlfriend from gundas, over the top mannerisms, etc. It is a
perfect example of a old wine in a new bottle. The truth is that our
Bollywood had lost its innocence, trying too hard to imitate the west,
making so called art/serious movies aka parallel cinema. Masala movies
were almost finished. But I hope this has revived them again, because
the movie was very much enjoyable.
Action scenes are OTT at times, but still enjoyable.
It has some nice performances, but it is Sallu bhai that carries the movie on his shoulders. No other actor in Bollywood could have pulled the role with such an ease. Because of him you just overlook at the flaws.
Ayesha Takia looks stunning and her chemistry with Sallu does work! Vinod is not given enough footage but manages to do well.
Mahesh Manjrekar is brilliant. He was just too good at times. Typical corrupt lusty police officers. Scene where he is on his laptop or any other scene... Really good.
Prakash Raj deserves special mention. He was just amazing as the DON. Amazing in the jail scenes!
The twist in the movie was quite nice and not really expected. (as I haven't seen the original) There are some really funny scenes in first half as well =D
The movie has almost no story, but the screenplay was nice.
The only thing that was quite annoying was the amount of unnecessary songs. It got boring, because It was like fight scene - song - fight scene - song... Just like those 80s movies, but quite exaggerated. I wish there were bit less songs.

and many more. I can say that most of the scenes (except the scenes with the landlord - the guy was funny in beginning but got annoying by the end) are really good and most of them are memorable.
In one word, it is a PAISA VASOOL. Leave your brains at home,
