Salman Khan-starrer Radhe releases on May 13.Salman Khan starrer Radhe: Your Most Wanted Bhai has released all over the world. Radhe is out in the theatres wherever they are open and for those who want to watch the film from the comfort of their homes, it is available on ZEE5’s pay-per-view service ZEEPlex.
The movie also stars Disha Patani, Jackie Shroff and Randeep Hooda. Directed by Prabhudheva, Radhe is a quintessential Salman Khan action-entertainer. Salman was last seen in the 2019 film Dabangg 3 and had no releases in 2020. Radhe was initially scheduled to release during Eid 2020 but was postponed due to the pandemic.
In a virtual interaction with media, Salman Khan shared that the film has three villains. “We have three villains Sang Hae from Bhutan, Gautam Gulati, who was in Bigg Boss, and then there is Randeep Hooda. They are fantastic in the film and they look something else only. They have actually made Radhe look much stronger and bigger. The opposition is so lethal. You can tell how hard these guys have worked,” he said.
The Dabangg star added, “Radhe is a new film so we will not repeat what we have already done in earlier films. Otherwise, it will be that you have repeated yourself again. So, it is new and I need you to see the film and then you tell me what is new apart from me. I am the same old Salman that you have been seeing since Maine Pyaar Kiya.”
Radhe marks the third collaboration between Salman Khan and director Prabhudheva. The two previously worked together in Dabangg 3 and the 2009 film Wanted that started the new era of Salman.
Even with sub-zero expectations of What We Will Get In A Bhai Movie, and the all-round empty hideousness of Prabhu Deva flicks, Radhe slides lower than low. Read the full review.
Actor Sangay Tsheltrim, who plays one of the villians in Radhe: Your Most Wanted Bhai, tweeted, "Thank you each and everyone for overwhelming love and support. @BeingSalmanKhan sir ???????????? #eidmubarak #radhe #villains @RandeepHooda @TheGautamGulati @SKFilmsOfficial @ZeeStudios_ @ZeeplexOfficial."

A ZEE5 spokesperson commented, “Salman Khan’s Eid blockbuster Radhe: Your Most Wanted Bhai has, as expected, recorded an unparalleled ‘First Day First Show’ opening on ZEE5 with millions of fans logging in to catch their favourite star in action. The team had anticipated a surge in traffic, going much beyond conservative estimates, but nothing compared to the extent that we witnessed this afternoon. In fact, so intense has been the outpouring of love that the platform witnessed unprecedented traffic from fans across the country bringing down the servers temporarily. The servers have returned to normalcy and the movie is already getting rave reviews from critics and audiences alike. Most importantly, we hope India and Bharat continue to tune into ZEE5 with ZEEPlex in equal measure in the days to come helping the magnum opus become the blockbuster it’s designed to be”.

Salman Khan's Bajrangi Bhaijaan co-actor Harshaali Malhotra, who played Munni in the film, shared a video where she is seen dancing to Radhe's song 'Seeti Maar'.
Gulfnews.com gave Radhe 2 out of 5 stars and wrote that 'this film should ideally re-christened Radhe: Your Most Wanted Bore’. About Radhe's supporting actors' role, the website wrote, "Seasoned actors such as Jackie Shroff is wasted in poorly-written roles. His attempt at humour lands in a few places, but falls flat for most parts of the film. And, since women have almost zero agency in a Khan’s films, they tick the box of looking pretty and vivacious. For instance, Disha Patani as an aspiring model with zero self-preservation skills looks fetching, but not much is asked of her.'
Khaleejtimes.com states, "If you are a Salman Khan fan, it’s of course a rhetorical question. And that’s the only reason why you’d go to the theatre to watch Radhe: Your Most Wanted Bhai, right? The superstar has never looked as good, or as indestructible (he survives a helicopter crash and is in short a desi version of Iron Man and Super Man and all the superheroes you can name), or as stylish as he does in the dance numbers."
Here is where you can watch Radhe at home.
Radhe review by khaleejtimes.com mentions the best part of Radhe as, "Has to be Randeep Hooda hands down. Despite being saddled with some clunky dialogues, a hairstyle better suited to a 70s show, and a Bollywood villain’s trademark black gear, with a fashionable long jacket, camouflage pants and boots (who said drug dealers can’t be stylish?) it’s a testament to his acting chops that he manages to infuse a certain menace to his character."
Ramesh Bala tweeted, "Super pumped up for the big release of #Radhe today! Overseas theatres are already running full house shows! Kudos to the team @BeingSalmanKhan @bindasbhidu @DishPatani @RandeepHooda @PDdancing @SKFilmsOfficial."
Salman Khan talks about Radhe release.
Going by Radhe's review by khaleejtimes.com, the film is "strictly for Salman fans." The review read, "Bollywood superstar supersizes everything - the action, the drama, the dance moves and the acting in the Prabhu Deva directorial." It further read, "What does Radhe do? When he’s not singlehandedly pummelling his way through a swatch of baddies (we counted over 20 in one scene alone), he’s grooving alongside some seriously cool background dancers (don’t forget the movie is helmed by ace choreographer-turned filmmaker Prabu Deva) or turning on the histrionics with impassioned speeches about saving India’s future generation from the debilitating drug menace."
Ramesh Bala shared via Twitter, "@BeingSalmanKhan's #Radhe is releasing today.. In #India it will be available for Pay-per-view on @ZeeplexOfficial. In some overseas countries like USA, Australia, UAE - GCC and few more, it is releasing in theaters.. 750 to 800 Screens.."

Randeep Hooda said in a statement, "I have played several grey characters in my career. Hence, it was an exciting experience to go completely black inside and out on this one. Getting into the nature of Rana had more to do with the look and swag than other aspects. This is my third collaboration with Salman, and it was fun and exciting as always."
"I feel that films like Radhe can work as a stressbuster in such a scenario. We had hoped that it would release in theatres here as well because it was envisioned as a film meant for the big screen. Unfortunately, the situation is such that it will largely be a digital release,” Prabhudheva told Times of India.
Salman Khan fans make a beeline for theatres in UAE.
Satadeep Saha, CEO of SSR Cinemas Pvt Ltd, on Wednesday tweeted, "I kept my commitment of screening Radhe in my theatres of Tripura ..as i wrote a letter requesting you to release it in cinemas ...@BeingSalmanKhan ??? @DishPatani @bindasbhidu @SohailKhan @PDdancing @ZeeStudios_ @bhumika_tewari @RandeepHooda @SKFilmsOfficial @atulreellife."

"Life is at a standstill, it seems that time has stopped. We don't know what is going to happen. Last year went and passed by. You don't remember much of it. I feel it is a blessing to have a release and I am more than happy and grateful that the film is finally releasing in the best possible way," Disha Patani told PTI.
In "Dil De Diya", Salman Khan and Jacqueline Fernandez, who have earlier given chartbusters “Jumme Ki Raat” and “Hangover”, are once again stealing the show with their chemistry. Read More.
The title track of Radhe Your Most Wanted Bhai sounds like the kind of track that will be played on loop throughout the film, or basically whenever Salman Khan does anything that is projected as ‘cool’. Read More.

In an interview with PTI, Disha Patani said, "I was initially intimidated by Salman sir. He is the biggest star of the country. With time we got comfortable and it has been a great experience working with him. He is so humble and helpful."
"Making a film takes a lot of time from six months to a year, maybe, so you better like what you are doing. In the case of Radhe, I liked the script. It is a fun, massy film. I like watching such movies. I haven't done a massy film before. I was very excited to be working on this film. Besides, to have a great director and a major star is like an added bonus," Disha Patani told PTI.
Salman Khan said Prabhudheva film Wanted didn't change anything for him, but Maine Pyar Kiya did. “Wanted didn’t change anything. The film that changed everything for me was Maine Pyar Kiya. Wanted was a hit action film. Before that also there were such films. What has changed is the population of the country. Even in my movies, I make sure there is everything for everyone,” he said.
Randeep Hooda expressed his opinion on Radhe Your Most Wanted Bhai releasing in hybrid model.
“It will be a good experiment for the industry to have this hybrid kind of platform release where people who are unable to get to theatres can watch it. It is also a cheaper option since instead of buying one ticket per person, the entire family can watch it. What better film to test the whole system with than a Salman Khan film. I’m hoping it will do well,” he said.
"Radhe is different," says Salman Khan. The actor said it is not like any of his earlier films.
“Radhe is a new film so we will not repeat what we have already done in earlier films. Otherwise, it will be that you have repeated yourself again. So, it is new. I need you to see the film and then you tell me what is new apart from me. I am the same old Salman that you have been seeing since Maine Pyaar Kiya," the actor said.
The mounting court cases, string of flops, the ultimate bad boy image — despite the many downs, Salman Khan has rolled on over the decades. If the Salman Khan of early years was a shy charmer, today he's a box-office juggernaut and a demigod of Hindi movie masses. Read More.
Slated to start streaming on multiple platforms, including OTT and DTH services, on May 13, Radhe Your Most Wanted Bhai features Salman Khan as an encounter specialist tackling drug menace in Mumbai. Talking about releasing the film during the pandemic, Salman said, “We will lose money at the box office with Radhe. The reason why we are releasing this film is for the fans. I don’t want them to come to a theatre to watch me. I don’t want ki kal ko koi bole ki Salman Khan ke fans ko coronavirus hogaya ya unhone faila diya. I am glad Zee also was ready to take losses along with us. Theatre owners wanted us to release the film to get them back in business. Radhe is made for big screens. I know people have been waiting for its release. We were ready to release it in theatres too, but then the second wave of Covid-19 happened, and theatres started to shut down. My intention (with the film) is to uplift everyone’s mood."
