A welcome exception is when the second movie betters the earlier one, as occurs in uncommon instances like Tanu Weds Manu or Drishyam. Most filmmakers go fallacious by making the subsequent movie merely larger however not higher. That was precisely the case with Tum Bin, Rock On!!, Dedh Ishqiya or Welcome Again.
Nevertheless, there’s a perceptible distinction between a disappointing sequel and a poor one. Right here’s 5 extra outstanding calamities, particularly after actually memorable ‘prequels’.

Across the finish of the lockdown, Yash Raj Movies determined to go the sequel manner and make a haphazard con drama wherein authentic composers Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy have been additionally extremely off-form. The field workplace collections proved to be a con on the makers—Bunty Aur Babli 2 collected merely half its price!
