The Year of Sequels
The year has been a sequel year (as truly all the years in the calender are, but that's not what I meant).
There were direct sequels, like Hera Pheri II, Dhoom II and Munnabhai II (though the names were slightly different). In Hollywood we had Pirates of Carribean II, Saw III, Santa Claus III. Not to mention nth Superman movie, and nth Rocky movie.
Then there were remakes (which are let's say sequels of cast and crew of the original). Sholay (though it is yet to be made) and Casino Royale to name a few...
Last but not the least, there were titular sequels (nice term isn't it? I coined it), i.e. the movies which "sequelled" the name of the original. To give an example, in Bollywood "Main Hoon Na" became "Tum... Ho Na".
All in all, it seems it was A Good Year for Deja Vu (though apparently, both these movies tanked at box office)

I didnt know 2 things -
ROcky and Tum.... ho Na!!!
rocky is not released in India yet... else it would have been hard to miss that...
tum ho na.. never heard of that tooo....
@Kiran: Now that's interesting... and something to look forward to, too.
Welcome...
@Deepa: Dhoom 2 is enjoyable if you want to watch stunts. Just remember, not a good story to look forward to.
@Sid: You are going to watch Rocky?
Tum ho na has the unbeatable star-cast of Jackie Shroff and Riya Sen. How could you miss that?
hiii...
a very happy and prosperous new year to you!!
hmmmm .... i guess i aint so keen on watching stunts !
Tum..Ho Na ? which one is that ?
@fleiger:
yes.. I am a fan of Rocky... used to put on its training video on compu while working out at home... ;)
rocky-V was disappointing though...
and yes.. missing Tum.. Ho na... that was a disaster it seems

@White forest: Same to you. Long time...
@Deepa: You won't miss much, believe me.
Tum... Ho na has Jackie Shroff, Riya Sen and Nethra Raghuraman.
@Sid: Hmm... I never enjoyed watching people pummel each other into ground ;)
And if you want further inducement, I forgot to mention Nethra Raghuraman in the starcast.
@Keshi: Same to you...
This is the era of remakes and sequels.
