Read the complete plot breakdown of Wanted (2010), including all key story events, major twists, and the ending explained in detail. Discover what really happened—and what it all means.
In Mumbai, a web of crime tightens around two rival gangs: one led by Gani Bhai, a Dubai-based crime boss, and another tied to Datta Pawle. As they muscle for control over the city’s land mafia, a newly-appointed Deputy Commissioner, Ashraf Khan, throws himself into cleaning up the escalating violence and corruption that plague the streets. The stage is set for a high-stakes struggle where loyalty is constantly tested and every alliance can shift with the next turn of events.
Radhe is introduced as a money-minded rogue who lives with his friends in the bustling city. His first brush with the underworld comes when he defeats Gani Bhai’s henchman Genghis after a challenge from Pawle’s men, a moment that catalyzes Radhe’s uneasy path between crime and power. Despite this violent start, Radhe’s ambition nudges him toward Gani Bhai’s gang, drawn by the lure of quick money and the thrill of being in the thick of the action. His life begins to revolve around the dangerous thrill ride of this underworld world, and it’s not long before love enters his orbit in the form of Jahnvi, an aerobics teacher who shares a small, ordinary life with her widowed mother, Lakshmi, and her younger brother Ballu.
Jahnvi’s world is further complicated by Sonu Gates, a software engineer who lives above her and repeatedly tries to convince Jahnvi to marry him. Complicating matters even more is Daulat Talpade, a corrupt senior inspector who also acts as an informer for Gani Bhai and lusts after Jahnvi, pursuing her despite her clear boundaries. As Radhe navigates this tangled web of affection and ambition, his first job with Pawle’s rivals—an attempted hit on a Pawle associate—takes a chaotic turn when the police intervene. In the ensuing chaos, Radhe buys time for his fellow gang members to escape and extends a lifeline to Jahnvi, helping her slip away from Talpade’s scheming grasp.
A fragile friendship begins to bloom between Radhe and Jahnvi, built on shared danger and mutual relief. Yet their rapport is tested when Pawle’s gang lashes back, forcing Radhe to confront the brutal reality of his own violence. Jahnvi is shaken to discover that the man she has come to care for is a killer who does not flinch at taking lives. To complicate matters further, Talpade arranges a staged assault to pressure Jahnvi into accepting his advances, turning fear and coercion into a weapon against her prospects of a future with Radhe.
Gani Bhai’s dramatic return from Dubai ignites new tensions: he kills Pawle and plots a larger scheme, contemplating the assassination of a minister by blowing up a school. Radhe finds himself torn between the chilling plan and his own sense of morality, ultimately resisting the idea of harming innocents. The tension reaches a fever pitch when the club is raided by the police, and Gani Bhai is arrested and tortured. In a brutal counterstrike, Gani Bhai’s gang abducts Ashraf Khan’s daughter, drugs her, and creates a damning gang-rape video to force Ashraf’s hand and secure Gani Bhai’s release. The desperate tactic reveals a startling secret: Ashraf’s daughter implicates that a mole sits within Gani Bhai’s ranks, a revelation that changes the balance of power in the underworld.
From this moment, the truth about Rajveer Shekhawat—son of a retired inspector and secretly an undercover operative dedicated to wiping out the mafia—begins to unfold. It’s revealed that Rajveer has infiltrated Gani Bhai’s gang to root out corruption, and a mistaken identity leads Gani Bhai to kill Ajay, whom he believes is Rajveer. The shocking twist confirms that Ajay is actually Shrikant’s adopted son, and in a calculated move, Gani Bhai kills Shrikant to draw out the real Rajveer. When the dust settles, it becomes clear that Rajveer is in fact Radhe, the undercover operative who has been quietly erasing gang members under Ashraf’s orders.
With the envisioned balance of power disrupted, Rajveer—disguised as Radhe—emerges to confront the criminals head-on. He reveals himself at the moment of a funeral for Shrikant and Ajay, shocking Jahnvi and Talpade with the revelation that Radhe and Rajveer are one and the same. The revelation re-centers Radhe’s mission: to dismantle Gani Bhai’s operation from within, now armed with a clearer purpose and a renewed commitment to justice rather than vengeance alone. After the emotional toll of the funerals, Radhe coerces Talpade into contacting Gani Bhai, learning that the crime lord’s base is at Binny Mills. A decisive confrontation follows as Radhe storms Binny Mills, systematically eliminating Gani Bhai’s lieutenants and rescuing Ashraf’s daughter from further danger.
In the climactic showdown, Radhe corners Gani Bhai in a deadly confrontation, ending the tyranny with a fatal slash of Gani Bhai’s throat using a broken glass window. Radhe’s victory is sealed when he shoots Talpade and mutters a hard-won credo that encapsulates his transformation from a reckless opportunist to a man bound by a personal code: a vow to keep his commitment once made, no matter the cost.
Ek bar joh maine commitment kar di uske baad toh main khud ki bhi nahi sunta (transl. Once I am committed, I won’t even listen to my own words).
