Bunty Aur Babli 2
First, we have no clue why this movie was even made after so many years. Second, rehashing the old film doesn't win anybody brownie points.

Bunty Aur Babli 2
The sequel starred Saif Ali Khan instead of Abhishek Bachchan along Rani Mukerji and no Amitabh Bachchan. Infusing it with young blood like Siddhant Chaturvedi and Sharvari didn't work either.

Once Upon a Time in Mumbaai Dobara!
This Akshay Kumar-Sonakshi Sinha-Imran Khan-starrer did one of the best gangster movies, 'Once Upon a Time in Mumbaai' dirty and how.

Rock On 2
One interesting and perhaps the only USP of this sequel to 'Rock On' was it tried to continue with the original storyline.

Force 2
'Force' was a remake of Suriya's 'Kaakha Kaakha' and packed some really mean stunts. The sequel, however, was just an attempt to cash in on the name which yielded low box office rewards.

Bheja Fry 2
Bheja Fry was one of the biggest surprise hits of Bollywood. Guess that prompted them to make a sequel but a lack of good execution and interesting script turned it into a below-average fare at the box office.

Bhoothnath Returns
Bhoothnath was one of those rare movies that catered to a demography Bollywood ignores royally, kids. They lapped it up. A similar reaction was expected from the sequel but it turned out to be a dud.

Shaadi Ke Side Effects
Yet another movie that should have never existed. Pyaar Ke Side Effects was simple, sweet and smart. SKSE is exactly the opposite and hence, it was least appreciated.

Dedh Ishqiya
Ishqiya was smooth, edgy and raw. Dedh Ishqiya tried to do a lot of things. They lessened the earthiness of the content to suggest a broader theme that made no sense to the audiences.
