It has been almost 2 months of 2015, but other than Akshay Kumar’s Baby, not even a single flick could entertain the masses. However, with some upcoming sequels and promising performances, our hopes of seeing some great entertainers this year are still alive. 
 
Given is a list of sequels that we think would do well at the box office.

5 Bollywood Sequels To Watch Out For In 2015

Reports suggest that the much-awaited instalment of the <keyword id="1959" type="ENTERTAINMENT" weightage="80" keywordseo="Dhoom">Dhoom</keyword> Series, <keyword id="24705" type="ENTERTAINMENT" weightage="40" keywordseo="Dhoom-3">Dhoom 3</keyword>, will be released on December 20, 2013. It has been touted as one of the most anticipated releases of the year, made with a whopping budget of Rs 150 crore. Before we get to the perfectionist Khan, let us look at the Dhoom Franchise. The first movie titled Dhoom was released way back in 2004 and was directed by Sanjay Gadhvi. As per <keyword id="143" type="CITY" weightage="40" keywordseo="Bollywood">Bollywood</keyword> Hungama, the movie did a business of Rs 15,93,49,638 (total gross business) and was considered a hit. 
 In 2006, the <keyword id="36603" type="CITY" weightage="40" keywordseo="Yash-Raj-Films">Yash Raj Films</keyword> banner came out with the sequel of the movie, starring <keyword id="6354563" type="PERSON" weightage="40" keywordseo="Hrithik-Roshan">Hrithik Roshan</keyword> as the antagonist. This movie did a phenomenal business at the box office and raked in Rs 40,30,53,277 (total gross business). 
 
Dhoom is perhaps the only movie series in India where the villain plays a far more significant role. He personifies style, is shamelessly wicked and yet manages to create a place in the hearts of the audience. Hrithik Roshan and <keyword id="6354967" type="PERSON" weightage="40" keywordseo="John-Abraham">John Abraham</keyword> both have great looks and chiselled bodies, and people were awestruck to see them perform the kind of stunts that they pulled off in these movies. 
 
Now that Aamir is planning to step in their shoes, it is expected that he will take things even a step further and this is where the problem lies. All through the promos, we see Aamir trying out great bike stunts and even trying to do trapezes. Although Aamir has tried hard to build his body, learn acrobatics and has gone through a rigorous tap dance training as well, he does not essentially have the physique to carry out these things. The character of a villain that a Dhoom series demands does not suit Aamir’s physique and we are not just talking about his age or the six-pack abs here – we are referring to the full package. 
 
It is too early to comment about his hanging-on-the-ropes kind of stunts, but his tap dancing (in the promos) does look a bit forced! Nevertheless, we do salute the kind of effort that the Khan boy has put into learning all these skills. 
 Also <keyword id="6355923" type="PERSON" weightage="40" keywordseo="Aamir-Khan">Aamir Khan</keyword> belongs to a generation of actors where either the male <keyword id="18935" type="ENTERTAINMENT" weightage="40" keywordseo="heroes">heroes</keyword> are larger than life or chocolaty lover boys. Aamir, with his innocent looks, started his career as a chocolate lover boy and was well accepted in movies like Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak. He has also played the tough guy in movies like Sarforsh and more recently in Ghulam and <keyword id="17231" type="PERSON" weightage="40" keywordseo="Ghajini">Ghajini</keyword>, but in all of these, he has always been the good guy. 
 So the major issue that Aamir will face is to break away from that stereotype and try to get into the shoes of the ‘mean guy.’ While he has to be the one that is causing all the trouble for Jai (the tough cop played by <keyword id="499" type="PERSON" weightage="40" keywordseo="abhishek-bachchan">Abhishek Bachchan</keyword>) and Ali (played by <keyword id="36115" type="PERSON" weightage="40" keywordseo="uday-chopra">Uday Chopra</keyword>), he must be appealing in his new avatar to win over the audience. 
 
Apart from the Dhoom series, we have also seen <keyword id="4546" type="PERSON" weightage="40" keywordseo="Shah-Rukh">Shah Rukh</keyword> bring in similar shades in his modern avatar of Don and later in <keyword id="6456475" type="ENTERTAINMENT" weightage="40" keywordseo="don-2">Don 2</keyword>. At this stage, we are not convinced that Aamir will be able to bring that kind of touch to Dhoom 3. 
 
Moving over to the business part, Dhoom 3 must make at least Rs 300 crore at the box office to make a mark for itself. After all, the production cost of the movie is very high and it is releasing during the winter break when no other big releases are lined up. 
 
In recent times, we have seen Krrish 3 manage to bring that kind of magic at the box office. 
 
The TV rights of the movie have been reportedly sold for a whopping Rs 75 crore and a lot of cinema halls have hiked the ticked prices for this movie. 
 
At a time when most movies are promoted heavily by the stars who riotuously visit the shopping malls and appear at various reality shows, Aamir has consciously stayed away from the conventional route. We will have to wait for a few more days to find out whether Aamir’s idea to stay away from direct interaction with the crowd and TV shows have paid off or not. However, from the leaked storyline and the current promos, we feel that Dhoom 3 does not have much to offer and it will only boil down to the last-minute chase.

"He suffered a major heart attack in the morning. He was rushed to the hospital but was pronounced dead. He didn't have any health issues but felt chest pain last night," Nishant said. Filmmaker Hansal Mehta, who worked with Parvez in the National Award winning 2013 drama "Shahid", said the action director was extremely skilful with his work. "Just heard that action director Parvez Khan is no more. We had worked together in Shahid where he executed the riots sequence in a single take. Very skilful, energetic and a good man. RIP Parvez.

Parvez started his career by assisting action director Akbar Bakshi in films like Akshay Kumar's "Khiladi" (1992), Shah Rukh Khan's "Baazigar" (1993) and Bobby Deol-starrer "Soldier" in 1998. It was with Ram Gopal Varma's "Ab Tak Chhappan" in 2004 that he started working independently and went on to have a long-standing collaboration with filmmaker Sriram Raghavan in films like "Johnny Gaddaar" (2007), Saif Ali Khan-starrer "Agent Vinod" in 2012 and "Badlapur", featuring Varun Dhawan.
