Happy birthday Salman Khan. Just the other day, I was watching the trailer of Salman Khan's new movie "Jai Ho", which already has more than 12.5 lakh views on youtube since 2 weeks of upload date. While watching I remembered an action scene from one of his movies. I didn't immediately recall the movie name so I checked his filmography on IMDB. And Viola! the movie name was Wanted.
Salman Khan is one actor who has been active in Bollywood for about 2 decades starring in many average-to-flop films. However, it was only after his blockbuster Wanted in 2009 that lady luck smiled on him. Since then, he has constantly given great blockbuster hits like Bodyguard, Dabangg, Ready, Ek Tha Tiger and the most recent Dabangg 2. With every movie he's been setting a new benchmark for the box office collections.
In Dabangg, he stars as a corrupt but lovable cop. He believes in swift justice and dispenses it instantly.
He is a bad guy for the bad guys but a good man to all good innocent people. He robs from the villains but helps the needy and poor. His character was very much styled on the lines of Robin Hood, in terms of morality. That's what made him lovable.
It was in this film that certain things became iconic. His unique dance steps. His moustache. The action scenes in defunct warehouses. The "Smile Please" comic photographer. His Sunglasses.
Regarding his sunglasses, he always sports them on his shirt collar behind. I believe this fashion has attained a unique cult status among the audience. Many people have been emulating it since the movie. Check out this random photo clicked on a street of Mumbai.
