The top ten worst bollywood sequels

IMAGE: Movie poster of Nigahen What happens after The End? While most characters live happily-ever-after, some return to tell you their story. Often it's so bad, you wish they had

stayed back and not divulged details of their ensuring reality. Bottom-line, the sequel culture of Bollywood is still in its developing stage. But, with so many films like _Raaz 3_, _Dhoom

3_, _Krrish 2_, _Dabangg 2_, _Once Upon a Time in Mumbaai 2_, _Jism 2_, _Jannat 2 _in production, things are bound to change for the better or worse. Here are 10 occasions when it changed

for the worse, the ten Bollywood sequels we wish had never happened. DO PICK YOUR OWN LIST OF THE WORST MOVIE SEQUELS IN THE MESSAGE BOARD BELOW. _Nigahen _ Three years after the success of

_Nagina_, Harmesh Malhotra came out with its follow-up _Nigahen_. The first one, starring Sridevi and Rishi Kapoor, was never high on subtlety but kept its ambitions in check. Also, it had a

catchy score and terrifying Amrish Puri on its menu. A clearly overdone _Nigahen _followed. Both Sri and Sunny Deol turned out to be snake people, Anupam Kher was a tame sorcerer and the

lackluster soundtrack just didn't pack in any novelty or sting to work. _HATHYAR_ IMAGE: Movie poster of Hathyar Mahesh Manjrekar's _Vaastav _marked a turning point in Sanjay

Dutt's acting career. It's sequel _Hathyar_, however, lacked the steam to make it memorable. With its sketchy characterizations, wafer-thin plot and haphazard narrative, 

Dutt's second outing, this time as Raghu's son Rohit, into the underworld is most contrived. _PHIR HERA PHERI_ IMAGE: Movie poster of Phir Hera Pheri Babu Rao (Paresh Rawal), Raju

(Akshay Kumar) and Shyam (Suniel Shetty) packed in such amazing brand of hilarity in the first one, it was, but natural, to harbor huge expectations from its sequel. _Phir Hera Pheri_,

however, was such a terrible let-down, it made you wish they had never bothered to return. Borrowing generously from Guy Ritchie's _Lock, Stock And Two Smoking Barrels _and turning into

a unfunny farce, crowded frames and general lack of coherence makes _PHP's _humour too flat and annoying to appreciate. _SARKAR RAJ_ IMAGE: Movie poster of Sarkar Raj Although _Sarkar

_never quite possessed the dark ambiance or unrelenting narrative of _Satya_, Ram Gopal Varma's version of _The Godfather_, starring the Bachchans -- Amitabh and Abhishek, Kay Kay Menon

and Katrina Kaif -- had just about enough meat to dig into with relish. But it was never good enough to stretch into another movie -- with the addition of yet another Bachchan, Aishwarya --

 which is much too obsessed with focusing on the features and complexion of its cast and their brooding expression to a blaring, pointless background score in this frustratingly passive,

_Sarkar Raj_. _GOLMAAL RETURNS_ IMAGE: Movie poster of Golmaal Returns True, Rohit Shetty became Rohit Shetty courtesy the so-loud-it-hurts humour of _Golmaal _franchise. Nevertheless, the

one that started it all packed in some genuine laughs and a droll performance from Paresh Rawal and Sushmita Mukherjee. _Golmaal Returns_, though a decidedly bigger success, on a grander

scale (Kareena Kapoor replaces Rimi Sen) is so visibly calculating in generating forced, slapstick situations and bullying its viewer to grin and bear, there's no room for spontaneity.

_BHEJA FRY 2_ IMAGE: Movie poster of Bheja Fry 2 The runaway success of _Bheja Fry_ led the filmmakers to believe there's a potential franchise in the making. They couldn't have

been more wrong. If Vinay Pathak's characteristic antics kept it breezy in the first one, they try your patience in its incredibly dreary sequel. And that's the biggest crime a

comedy can commit anyway -- bore you. _DOUBLE DHAMAAL _ IMAGE: Movie poster of Double Dhamaal Thanks to the likes of Sanjay Dutt, Javed Jaffrey and Arshad Warsi, _Dhamaal_, a copy of

Hollywood's _It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World _had enough moments to pass the muster and box-office. The second time round, however, the cast proves they can do little to make sense

of its plot-free, humour-free, series of junk scenes that involve smooching gorillas, _Double Dhamaal _could not have been more blatantly greedy in its aim to rake more moolah. _HYDERABAD

BLUES 2_ IMAGE: Movie poster of Hyderabad Blues 2 The freshness and realism in the wit and banter of _Hyderabad Blues _directed by Nagesh Kukunoor continues to charm. But a sequel was so not

necessary. Kukunoor spoils the memories of the first one by retaining most of its primary cast to explore what happens after they tie the knot. The outcome is so disappointing, laboured and

lacklustre. _PHOONK 2 _ IMAGE: Movie poster of Phoonk 2 Just when you thought he's out, the black magic theme of _Phoonk _came to RGV's rescue. Hoping to hit the bull's-eye

again, Varma announced its sequel. Only _Phoonk 2 _employs the tried-and-tested elements of horror so mindlessly, the only fear you experience is the possibility of this working at the box

office and leading to another daft franchise. _JUMBO 2_ IMAGE: Movie poster of Jumbo 2 Remember _Jumbo_? The blue elephant with Akshay Kumar's voice. No?  In that case, you're

least likely to remember the sequel that carries forward the tedious tale of him and offspring -- Luv and Kush.
