Everyone gets excited with the idea of it, and the execution turns out to be a dampner, a lot like demonetisation. There are now rumours that a sequel for Rehna Hai Tere Dil Mein<\/em> (RHTDM) is on the cards, with an unlikely pair showing an interest: Kriti Sanon and Vicky Kaushal. The project is to go on floors by end of 2022 but why? \n\nRHTDM <\/em> is adorable but if Bollywood\u2019s history of sequels is anything to go by, the film, which has acquired a cult status, should be left alone.\n\nPhir Hera Pheri<\/strong>\n\n

Base Industries Group<\/p>\n<\/figcaption>\n<\/figure>\n\nWith Hera Pheri<\/em><\/a>, Bollywood got one of its most iconic trios in Baburao, Raju and Shyam. It\u2019s a comedy that has stood the test of time. It has given us memes which are relevant even today. Of course, the expectations were huge from the sequel but Phir Hera Pheri<\/em> wasn\u2019t half as funny. The humour was largely slapstick. \u201cBaburao ka style\u201d deserved a better sequel!\n\nLove Aaj Kal 2<\/strong>\n\n

\n

Pen Marudhar Entertainment<\/p>\n<\/figcaption>\n<\/figure>\n\nLove Aaj Kal<\/em><\/a> (2020) has been described as one of Imtiaz\u2019s worst films to date. Some simply couldn\u2019t fathom Kartik Aryan dropping Rumi and Kabir verses, others thought he lacked depth to play an Imtiaz kind romantic character. And Sara Ali Khan<\/a> was simply shrill. All in all, the newer version was no match to the Saif Ali Khan and Deepika Padukone<\/a> starrer which released in 2009.\n\nSatya 2<\/strong>\n\n

\"satya\n

\n

Mammoth Media Entertainment Private Limited<\/p>\n<\/figcaption>\n<\/figure>\n\nSatya<\/em> saw Ram Gopal Verma at his peak, giving us one of India\u2019s most gripping gangster films ever. In Manoj Bajpayee\u2019s Bhiku Mhatre, it gave us the greatest goonda of all time. However, Satya 2<\/em>, released in 2013 was a monumental disappointment. Puneet Singh\u2019s performance in the lead role couldn\u2019t hold a candle to his predecessors and the movie expectedly tanked at the box office.\n\nGolmaal Again<\/strong>\n\n

\"Golmaal\"\n

\n

Reliance Entertainment<\/p>\n<\/figcaption>\n<\/figure>\n\nRohit Shetty<\/a> became Rohit Shetty after Golmaal<\/em>. It is packed with memorable performances from a very funny cast. The movie franchise raised the stakes with Golmaal Returns<\/em>, casting Kareena Kapoor<\/a> instead of Rimi Sen. But we hoped it never returned. With Golmaal 3<\/em> and Golmaal Again<\/em><\/a>, as the sets got flashier, all humour and logic went for a toss. But quit when you are ahead is not a mantra Bollywood swears by.\n\nBheja Fry 2<\/strong>\n\n

\"bheja\n

\n

Watchtower Pictures<\/p>\n<\/figcaption>\n<\/figure>\n\nBheja Fry<\/em> directed by Rajat Kapoor was a laughter-riot, an absolute jewel in the illustrious list of comedy films in India. An intelligent film about an idiot was adored by audiences, with Vinay Pathak in an outstanding performance. However, Bheja Fry 2<\/em> struggled on the very parameters where its original flourished. The writing seemed a bit weak with repetitive dialogues and various sections of the film felt draggy. As they say, the worst crime a comedy film can commit, is to be boring.\n\nRajkumar Hirani’s Lage Raho Munnabhai<\/em>, that lived up to the original in the franchise, Munnabhai M.B.B.S <\/em>is an outlier to the list.<\/em> One can only hope the RHTDM<\/em> sequel is an exception to the rule of Bollywood sequels. Else, another charming film we hold dear would be ruined.\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
