He falls in love with Jhanvi (Ayesha Takia), a simple fitness trainer, who also has a soft spot for Radhe in her heart. The two are unable to express their love to each other, until one day, selfish Inspector Talpade (MaheshManjrekar) enters the love story and also falls for Jhanvi. He starts threatening Jhanvi and her family, as if Jhanvi did not marry him, he would rape Jhanvi's mother. When Radhe finds this out, he has a huge fight with Talpade, causing Talpade to realize he shouldn't mess with Radhe and he backs off. Soon enough, underworld don Gani Bhai (Prakash Raj) arrives in India for an assassination.Gani Bhai hires Radhe as his assassin and Radhe agrees. As Datta Pawle and Gani Bhai's gang are fighting for the biggest piece of Mumbai, commissioner Ashraf Khan (GovindNamdeo) vows to make the city crime-free and starts his campaign by arresting 200 criminals. Ashraf Khan arrests and kidnaps Gani Bhai and holds him on a stranded boat where no one could find him. Gani Bhai tries hard to contact Radhe but fails in every attempt. Until, Ashraf Khan's daughter is kidnapped and he realizes Gani Bhai's men are behind this, and he lets Gani free. Soon enough, Gani Bhai gets his head on a news that an IPS officer named Rajveer Shekhawat is after him and wants to murder him, so Gani attacks his father Shrikant Shekhawat (Vinod Khanna).
Shrikant doesn't give any information on his son, until he is held gunpoint by Gani Bhai's men. Assuming Ajay for Rajveer, Gani kills him. After realising his mistake Gani questions Shrikant. Shrikant does not tell him about the plans of Rajveer, and Gani Bhai murders Shrikant and leaves. His son, Rajveer Shekhawat arrives at the scene full of tears, and it is revealed that Radhe is actually IPS officer Rajveer Shekhawat, and he was undercover as a gangster to finish off Gani Bhai and his gang. Now, he vows to take revenge on his father's murderer. He raids Gani's warehouse and surrounds him. Gani Bhai begins to fight back, and ends up being brutally killed by Radhe. Soon enough, Inspector Talpade enters the scene and pretends he didn't see anything, and is also then shot by Radhe.

Reception
Critical reception
Wanted received major critical acclaim, Nikhat Kazmi from The Times of India gave it 4 out of 5, so did Taran Adarsh from Bollywood Hungama, who added "Wanted will run only on Salman's star power." Raja Sen from Rediff gave a negative rating of 2/5 and said "Khan might be having fun, but the fact a film like Wanted underscores is how badly Bollywood needs a breed of younger leading men. And how the existing lot need roles that fit.".
