Bollywood sequels are becoming a rage and they are well accepted amidst the ardent movie buffs!

Yet, some of them fail to make a mark, as somehow the plot, the characters or the backdrops seem to lose the charm in the sequels. If not that, the sequels sometimes appear so predictable and a rerun of the prequels, without much to offer on the plate! Just imagine that you have to endure Dhoom – 5 or Krrish – 6? A death by a movie, I would call it!

But, there are certain titles that enthralled us as the viewers, delivering a huge entertainment quotient, while binding us to the characters.

We became a part of the story, and lived it like our own. And when the movie reaches its end, we found ourselves throbbing for more.

Such are the titles that definitely need a continuation in a perfectly timed and skilfully crafted sequel.

Here, I am going to talk about 6 Bollywood movie sequels we are eagerly waiting for! 

English Vinglish – 2012

We all remember this one so vividly even after 3 years of its release. The movie touched our hearts and Sridevi, in her comeback performance, proved, that she was never gone! English Vinglish emerged as an Indian comedy-drama film, written and directed by Gauri Shinde. The film’s narrative revolves around a housewife who enrolls in an English-speaking course in an alien city like New York, to stop her husband and daughter mocking her lack of English skills, and gains immense self-respect in the process. The protagonist, played by Sridevi, was inspired by Shinde’s mother. Before its theatrical release, English Vinglish was premiered at the 2012 Toronto International Film Festival, where both the film and Sridevi’s performance received amazing response. Several critics hailed it as a “must watch film”. Soon after its release, the film was declared a hit in India and overseas. Adorable Shashi Godbole (Sridevi) is wanted back again, in her new avatar, winning the hearts again!

Special 26  (Special Chabbis) – 2013 

This one is on my list simply because of its brilliant plot and a well crafted screenplay fiercely presented by some of the ace actors of the industry. Directed by Neeraj Pandey, it housed Akshay Kumar in the lead role with magnanimous performers Manoj Bajpayee and Anupam Kher in supporting cast, accompanied by Kajal Aggarwal, Jimmy Shergill and Divya Dutta. The film is inspired by the 1987 Opera House heist where a group posing as the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) officers executed a conned income tax raid on the jeweller in Mumbai. Special 26 came  to a widespread critical acclaim and was regarded as one of the best films of 2013. And as an intrigued audience, I loved the intricately crafted characters of Ajay (Akshay Kumar), P.K. Sharma (Anupam Kher), CBI Officer Wasim Khan (Manoj Bajpayee), and Sub-inspector Ranveer Singh (Jimmy Shergill). The story was so intense, it kept the viewers glued to it to know the end result. And the suspense created so neatly, blew the minds at the end. I would definitely love to see the con team weaving another con and making through it with elan.

Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani – 2013 

And then came this crazy riot of the sorts which most certainly deserves a sequel. Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani is a 2013 Indian coming-of-age romantic comedy film, directed by Ayan Mukerji and produced by Karan Johar, it stars the cute couple of all times, Deepika Padukone and Ranbir Kapoor in lead roles. Kalki Koechlin and Aditya Roy Kapur played supporting roles. This one helluva movie received some critical acclaim and was a huge box office success. Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani has become the eleventh highest grossing Bollywood film of all time in India and worldwide. It is also the tenth highest grossing Bollywood film in overseas markets. Apart from the business stats, the film itself is so binding for young and not-so-young alike! The friendships, the crazy holidaying, the underlying romance, the nip-of-it love and the excruciating heartbreaks! The icing on the cake was the “all lived happily ever after” ending to it. I really want to see a re-union of the gang, with another roller-coaster plot to it!

Queen – 2014 

This one, you all would agree with me, must have a sequel! The blockbuster of the year and one of the superlative lead role performances we witnessed Kangna Ranaut in, this movie stole our hearts, and how! Directed by Vikas Bahl, and produced by Anurag Kashyap, Queen appeared as a comedy drama in the year 2014 and swept almost all Best Film and Best Actress awards for the year including Filmfare and National Film Awards. In the character of Rani, an under-confident Punjabi girl from New Delhi, who embarks on her honeymoon to Paris and Amsterdam all by herself after her fiancé calls off their wedding, and returns a completely changed, confident girl, Kangana was phenomenal! I want to see this confident girl living a different life altogether, intact in her earthy demeanour, yet in a different story to her, this time maybe romancing the man of her dreams. Don’t you?

PK – 2014 

The highest-grossing Indian film of all time, PK also ranks as the 70th highest grossing film of 2014 worldwide. It was the first Indian film to gross INR 7 billion worldwide. It was also the first Indian film to gross US$100 million (Rs 630 crore) worldwide. That’s the magic of perfectionist Aamir Khan, in the ace direction of Rajkumar Hirani! A satirical science fiction comedy, brilliantly penned down by Abhijat Joshi, it stars Aamir Khan in the title role with Anushka Sharma, Sushant Singh Rajput, Boman Irani, Saurabh Shukla, and Sanjay Dutt in the superlative supporting cast. It tells the story of an alien who comes to Earth on a research mission and loses his tool for the way back. In the finding process, he befriends a television journalist and questions religious dogmas and superstitions. The movie stirred up quite a lot, delivering much more than just the entertainment quotient. In the last scene of the movie, PK (Aamir Khan) is shown ushering another set of aliens onto earth, with a glimpse of Ranbir Kapoor, shown as an alien. Any sequel ideas, cooking in  your mind?

Bajrangi Bhaijaan – 2015 

A one of its kind Salman Khan starrer flick, this one for sure is the show stealer for the current  year 2015 till now! Sallu Bhai swept the entire cake with this remarkable canvas, set in the magnificent Kashmir backdrop. Directed by Kabir Khan and scripted by V. Vijayendra Prasad, the film has been produced by Salman Khan and Rockline Venkatesh. It features Salman Khan, baby Harshaali Malhotra, Kareena Kapoor and Nawazuddin Siddiqui in lead roles. Bajrangi Bhaijaan has emerged as Salman Khan’s biggest hit to date, breaking more than a few box office records in India and abroad. It has become the fastest pacing Hindi film to gross Rs1 billion net domestically and is currently the second highest-grossing Bollywood film of all time in India and second highest-grossing Bollywood film of all time in international markets. It is also the third Indian film and second Hindi film to net Rs 3 billion in India and the second Indian film to gross Rs 6 billion worldwide. Declared as an All Time Blockbuster by Box office India, the film crossed 3.5 crore viewers which makes it the most watched Indian film ever since Gadar: Ek Prem Katha in 2001 and beating PK, 3 Idiots, Dhoom 3 and Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham. Well, more than anything else I would love to watch Bajrangi (Sallu Bhai) in a different set of touching yet poignant antics, even if it comes with a different backdrop all together. And, If we get to see cutely adorable Shahida (Harshali Malhotra), that would be like a bonus feast.

With this I complete my list of sequels that I really wish to watch and am eagerly waiting for. Hope, some of the ace film makers listed above, read my plea and get down to work.

Don’t you want that too?

Even before Kabir Khan’s Bajrangi Bhaijaan was released, Kareena Kapoor was positive about the success of the film.

And well who wouldn’t be? Bhai movies are always expected to do well, and when it’s Eid it’s like the perfect combo.

Bajrangi Bhaijaan not only lives up to the expectations, it just exceeds everything and it has the power to make you smile and cry at the same time.

Today we look at reasons why Bajrangi Bhaijaan won our hearts!

Harshaali Malhotra

The girl has already made everyone her fan. She is touted as the ‘Best Find Of The Year’ already, she is undoubtedly the epitome of cuteness and innocence. Even though she plays a mute girl, but you have to give 10 on 10 to this talented child actor for giving an outstanding performance with just her facial expressions. She make you fall in love with her every time she is on your screens. Well that’s the kind of magic this ‘Little Rockstar’ has on people. She truly make you go awwww!

A story that connects two estranged nations!

India-Pakistan! Two nations, or should we say two estranged twins who can’t just stay together or even stay apart? Well I am not going to get there too much, but this movie is a beautiful film that will surely connect hearts across the border too. The story of an Indian man trying to help a Pakistani girl reach her parents, will give you goosebumps. This story make you believe, the power of love is above all the hatred we have. This film is so beautiful that it will make you question- Is all the hatred between India-Pakistan worth it? And your heart will give you the answer.

The best casting by Mukesh Chhabra and team!

It’s time we give credit to the casting directors and their team for all the hard work they do in finding the perfect team. Mukesh Chhabra is surely a man with magic wand! With the kind of casting he has done in recent films shows he is no less than a magician!

The film may be Salman Khan’s but you have to agree this film wouldn’t have been this special, if there wasn’t Nawazuddin Siddiqui or rest of the cast. Though Nawazuddin comes in the second part, but the kind of brilliance he creates as a Pakistani journalist is beyond anything. Every actor in the movie fits their part well and they just deserve applause and praises for making this film larger than life. Kudos to the team!

An amazing film with a beautiful message!

After watching the movie you will surely come out the theatre with only love in your hearts. This film is beautiful and it also gives you a message that you want to believe in. For the message you gotta watch this movie like right now! And those who have already watched the movie, don’t forget the message and try giving love another chance. Hope Salman Khan’s request to the Prime Ministers of both the nations to watch the movie gets fulfilled.

Of course because it has Salman Khan!

Don’t just write me off as another Salman Khan fan. Of course I adore Mr Khan, just like million of other girls but even you would agree to this, you may love or hate this man, you simply can’t ignore his charm and magic. The film is his best and it’s not just me but everyone even in the industry saying so. In this film, Salman will make you want to groove, when he dances to ‘Selfie Le Le Re’, he will make you smile with his innocence when he just can’t lie because he is ‘Hanuman Ji Ka Bhakt’, and lastly he’ll make you cry when he sheds a tear. You will literally feel all the emotions in this movie.

All in all total thumbs up to this film.

This movie is a must watch!

Trust me you are missing on something great, if you haven’t yet watched this film made straight from the ‘Heart’!

If Salman wears a bracelet, so does India.

If Salman puts goggles behind his shirt, so does India and if he shakes his belt so does India.

He is the role model, he is the Superstar and this is how he wants to inspire people by hiding the truth?

As per the recent progress in the infamous Salman Khan hit-and-run case, his driver Ashok Singh has suddenly appeared after 12 years. This is like those TV serials where they have such big time leaps and reincarnations. It is said that the driver has experienced an epiphany under the influence of Salim Khan.

Now this is a little tough to digest even for Salman’s fans, who watch his movies and help him earn more than 100 crores.

The driver has also denied receiving any money for giving the statement that he was driving the car.

Now our request to Salman Khan is that as much as we love him and his Dabangg style, we also love justice but a little more. We are not accusing him of the crime and neither do we want to go against or beyond the law. But we would just like to raise some questions. Why the delay? What’s the truth?

A major Cola company’s tagline says ‘Aaj kuch toofani karte hai’. But what about the Toofani incident that happened 12 years back?

Now the driver says that after the accident he and Salman Khan even tried lifting the 3 ton SUV with their bare hands. How thoughtful? Couldn’t they have called an ambulance?

The prosecution has pointed out that it was a modern luxury vehicle so there is no chance of the tyre bursting. (Whereas the driver claims that the accident was caused due to a tyre burst)

And why did Salman Khan leave the spot after waiting for 15 long minutes if he was so innocent? Couldn’t he wait for the police & ambulance to arrive?

Oh! We forgot they didn’t call the ambulance in the first place.

It seems that the scriptwriters of Dabangg and Ready have written this story that the car door on the left side was jammed so he (Salman) had to get down from the right side. (Whereas the same does not match the statement given by the deceased police constable.)

A lot of facts and evidences have been changed over the years.

Why did the bakery owner change his statement to “Don’t know from which side of the car Salman came out?”

Why did the bartender deny of giving Salman alcohol when he had earlier said that he did?

Is that because of all these things Salman Khan on his famous reality TV show says “Do whatever you want to do man..!”??

Just like every other Salman Khan fan even we are excited and eagerly waiting for Bajrangi Bhaijaan but we request each and every one of you to think that should we #BoycottBajrangiBhaijaan until the truth is out.

Because 12 years are enough to ask for justice!!
