Dostana Sequel with Katrina


We all remember Abhishek Bachchan and John Abrahim romancing on screen for their movie Dostana. I even remember John coming up to announce the best actress in lead role award at a function along with Tabu. He then calls Tabu's name, Tabu smiles and says girls will run away from you. John replies who cares about girls, I am anyway doing movies with Abhishek. So the 'jodi' of John and Abhishek was a hit.

With the scraping of Chapter XVI Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code which criminalized homosexuality and the popularity and success of Dostana, the makers of Dostana have decided to make a sequel to this movie. It is also known that Dostana 2 shall have John and Abhishek chasing after Katrina Kaif. Few others including Arjun Rampal and Riteish Deshmukh may be added to the crew of Dostana 2 to make things a bit more complicated.

Let us see if this sequel impresses the Indian crowd as much as the original version did. India does not have a good history of sequels with most of the sequels running considerably less than their original version. There are some exceptions to this theory also. It will take time and we have to wait for the movie to come out before we can actually watch it.

Dostana was not a entirely new concept but it was a bold step to say the least, the makers experimented with a different subject and took a risk with the Indian viewers, the risk paid off last time, let us hope it so this time as well.
