Read the complete plot breakdown of Wanted (2011), including all key story events, major twists, and the ending explained in detail. Discover what really happened—and what it all means.

In Chalsa, Rajkumar Banerjee alias Raja, kills the notorious gangster duo Killu and Billu who were considered to be the ‘Terror of Chalsa’ because they murdered his parents, when he was at the age group of 15. He escapes to Kolkata and joins the gang of Sadhu, another crime boss and gets the company of Joy. After a big bank burglary at night, Sadhu gets arrested by the Kolkata Police as his right-hand man Aslaam betrayed him by calling the police and making them know about all the plans of Sadhu. But in jail, Raja kills the officer who accompanied Aslaam and runs away with Joy.

After being grown up, Raja does the daylight murder of Aslaam at a bazaar in Kidderpore fulfilling his revenge and escapes with Joy. On the other hand, Amarnath Ganguly is a party leader who wants to stage his own attempted assassination to garner the sympathy vote in the upcoming election. His colleague Shubhankar Banerjee hooks him up with Raja. Raja demands ₹1.50 crores for the false murder. In the meeting ceremony, near Ballygunge railway station, where the assassination was to happen, Ganguly is shot by someone else. Police immediately identify the unprepared housing complex from where the assassination took place and surround the skyscraper. Raja is about to exit the building when there is a car accident with his car. Raja assumes that Joy has died in the accident. Raja goes to the top of the building with the police in pursuit. A passing train through Ballygunge station, offers Raja an escape with a rope to land on the train.

In the train, Raja meets Shibu who reveals that he ran away from his village, Ganganagar, when he was young; he is now returning to his village. When the train was at the Kharagpur railway station, the police site Raja but shoot Shibu. Raja escapes to Ganganagar to inform them about Shibu’s death, but Shibu’s family believes Raja to be their son and accepts him. Pooja, with whom Shibu’s marriage was to happen, falls in love with Raja.

A CBI officer, Salim Ali Khan is investigating Ganguly’s murder, believes that Raja is responsible, and comes across the Raja/Shibu connection. He tries getting “Raja’s” fingerprints but is outsmarted. Clues implicate Joy. There is in Ganganagar a wedding of “Shibu’s” niece. The CBI comes to believe there has been a Raja/Shibu change, and Raga is a murder suspect. Raja flees, the CBI leave, and he returns to explain what is going on. The family shows no interest in helping Raja to find the real assassin but his grandfather gives Raja a gun.

Raja calls Shubhankar Banerjee and demands to know who killed Ganguly. Banerjee refuses but Raja tells him that their conversation has been recorded, and Banerjee reveals everything. Joy killed Ganguly for Rs. 20 million. He faked his death by sending a drunkard in the car at the time of the accident. Raja leaves for the old church, where Joy is. Raja and Joy meet and Raja has the gun loaded before Joy. But the same policemen who killed Shibu barge in. Raja kills them all, including Joy. Raja gives the recording to CBI officer Khan. Then Khan goes directly to Banerjee’s office, tells him that he will hand him over to the police, and Banerjee tells him that he has no concrete evidence. Khan reveals the recording is evidence enough for Ganguly’s hot-headed son, who has vowed vengeance for his father’s death. Trapped without any recourse, Banerjee commits suicide. Then Raja releases Shibu’s ashes and Salim Khan lets him go to Shibu’s family and gives him the condition to reject the crime world to lead a happy life with Pooja. Raja agrees to it and starts his journey to Ganganagar, where he stays forever.
