It’s the era of sequels and remakes. If a movie worked 20 years ago, it will now be rebooted and if a movie works well now, it is most definitely going to have a sequel. Sequels keep a movie franchise alive and also come with a ready fanbase that is likely to watch the next movie in the series. Most filmmakers have chosen to go this route and their Bollywood sequels have performed well in the box office, sometimes even better than the prequels. So if you are a fan of Hindi cinema, here are the Bollywood sequels you need to watch out for:
