The most famous dialogue of Wanted (2009) is Salman Khan’s “Ek baar jo maine commitment kar di, uske baad toh main khud ki bhi nahi sunta.” Directed by Prabhu Deva, the film is packed with Radhe’s one-liners. Here are 22 Wanted dialogues fans still repeat, with meaning and who says them.
Wanted released on 18 September 2009 and is a Hindi remake of the Telugu hit Pokiri (2006). Salman plays Radhe, a hitman who turns out to be IPS officer Rajveer Shekhawat working undercover. Ayesha Takia plays Jhanvi, Prakash Raj plays the don Gani Bhai and Mahesh Manjrekar plays the crooked Inspector Talpade. The film revived Salman’s career and set the template for his later mass entertainers like Dabangg.
Radhe’s signature lines
1. “Ek baar jo maine commitment kar di, uske baad toh main khud ki bhi nahi sunta.”
Meaning: Once I make a commitment, I do not even listen to myself. Radhe’s most famous line and the one that defined Salman’s screen image for the next decade.
2. “Jis school mein tune yeh sab seekha hai na, uska headmaster aaj bhi mujhse tuition leta hai.”
Meaning: The headmaster of the school where you learnt all this still takes tuition from me. A put-down for anyone who tries to out-smart Radhe.
3. “Tu ladki ke peeche bhagega, ladki paise ke peeche bhagegi. Tu paise ke peeche bhagega, ladki tere peeche bhagegi.”
Meaning: Chase a girl and she chases money, chase money and the girl chases you. Radhe’s cheeky take on love and money.
4. “Suar hamesha group mein shikaar karte hain, aur sher akele.”
Meaning: Pigs hunt in groups, a lion hunts alone. The line sums up how Radhe fights: alone.
5. “Mujhe khud ko bhi nahi pata ki kitna kamina hoon main.”
Meaning: Even I do not know how wicked I am. A warning to anyone who underestimates him.
6. “Main sirf money bhai ke liye kaam karta hoon.”
Meaning: I only work for one boss, money. Radhe uses it to explain why he takes contracts from any gang.
7. “Sharab aur khoon main apni marzi se peeta hoon, dabake.”
Meaning: I drink liquor and blood only when I want to, and plenty of it.
8. “Mujhe aansuon se sakht allergy hai.”
Meaning: I am seriously allergic to tears. Radhe’s way of shutting down emotional drama.
9. “Tujhe har goli ka hisaab dena padta hai. Main jitni bhi chalaoon, mujhe koi hisaab nahi dena padta.”
Meaning: You have to account for every bullet, I do not have to account for any. The irony lands later, when the film reveals Radhe himself is a cop.
10. “Tu yahan aaya nahi hai, laaya gaya hai.”
Meaning: You did not come here, you were brought here. A short line that tells the villain the trap was Radhe’s.
11. “Dard ho raha hai toh chilla na.”
Meaning: If it hurts, then scream. A typical taunt from the film’s fight scenes.
12. “Bahut ghoor raha hai. Kya behen ki shaadi karayega mujhse?”
Meaning: You are staring a lot, planning to marry your sister to me? Classic street-fight banter.
13. “Beta, yeh gutkha khane ka itna shauk hai toh ek dost aur bana le, kandha dene ke kaam aayega.”
Meaning: If you love gutkha so much, make one more friend, he will be useful to carry your bier. Dark humour aimed at a goon.
14. “Apne apne funde hain.”
Meaning: Everyone has their own logic. Three words that became college slang in 2009.
Lines about Radhe and from the villains
15. “Woh Rambo ka baap hai, Terminator ka chacha hai, Rocky ka dadu hai aur Bruce Lee ka nana hai. Last Action Hero hai woh.”
Meaning: He is the father of Rambo, uncle of Terminator, grandfather of Rocky and Bruce Lee. It is said about Radhe, building him up before an action scene. The original version of this list repeated the line twice; we have kept it once.
16. “Arrogance, ghamand, I like it. Isko thoda kam kar, bahut upar jayega. Warna seedha upar jayega.”
Meaning: I like your arrogance, tone it down and you will go far, or else you will go straight to heaven. A gangster sizing up Radhe.
17. “Jo police ki baat karta hai, wahi police se darta hai.”
Meaning: The one who keeps talking about the police is the one who fears them.
18. “Kaun hai yaar tu? Kya chahiye tujhe? Tu jo maangega tujhe dunga, tu meri side mein aa ja bas.”
Meaning: Who are you, what do you want, I will give you anything, just join my side. A rattled villain tries to buy Radhe over.
19. “Police wala koi bhi ban sakta hai.”
Meaning: Anyone can become a policeman. In the full rant, the gang boss says men like his criminals are hard to find, while he could put up a thousand cops like the one in front of him.
20. “Saali chalti phirti cocaine hai, cocaine.”
Meaning: She is walking cocaine. Inspector Talpade (Mahesh Manjrekar) says this about Jhanvi, showing how creepy the character is.
21. “Yeh khushi ek police wala samajh sakta hai, tujh jaisa gutterchhap nahi.”
Meaning: Only a policeman can understand this joy, not a gutter rat like you. Said by Shrikant Shekhawat (Vinod Khanna), Radhe’s father.
22. “Jis din tera saamna ek sachche police officer se ho jayega na, pant geeli ho jayegi teri.”
Meaning: The day you face an honest police officer, you will wet your pants. The line sets up the film’s big reveal.
Why Wanted still matters
Wanted arrived when Salman needed a solo hit, and it worked. It became one of the biggest Hindi hits of 2009, won the Star Screen Award for Best Action and earned IIFA nominations for Best Film, Best Actor and Best Villain for Prakash Raj. The Jalwa song featured guest turns by Govinda, Anil Kapoor and Prabhu Deva.
The film’s success pushed Bollywood back towards South-style mass action, which led to Dabangg, Singham and Rowdy Rathore. For more Salman Khan coverage, head to our Bollywood section, or browse other dialogue lists in listicles. Film reviews are in our reviews section.
On streaming, JustWatch India did not list Wanted on any Indian service when we checked in October 2026. It does stream on ZEE5 in several other countries, so it may return to Indian platforms.
