Beginning with 'Race 2' and 'Murder 3', the year will have some of the much-awaited sequels as well as remakes like 'Chashme Baddoor' and 'Zanjeer'.

According to a report in TOI: The year is set to end with big budgeted sequels like 'Krrish 3' and 'Dhoom 3', but others such as 'Once Upon a Time in Mumbaai 2' and 'Saheb, Biwi Aur Gangster Returns' will hit screens much ahead.

With an ensemble star cast and the promise of the same thrill that 'Race' had offered in 2008, its sequel is set to release on January 25. Anil Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan are reprising their roles from the previous film while Deepika Padukone, John Abraham, Jacqueline Fernandez and Ameesha Patel are new additions to the cast.
