5 Bollywood films that are sequels to flop movies

Filmgoers do look upon seqeuls. A continuation of a popular film is a safe box office bet

Usually, a hit movie is given a sequel or turned into a franchise

However, there are some examples where the prequel flopped and yet the makers came up with a sequel

Masti 4: Masti (2004) and Grand Masti (2013) were successful, but Great Grand Masti (2016) flopped badly. Yet, the makers have announced the fourth instalment

Desi Boyz 2: Akshay Kumar, John Abraham-starrer was a commercial failure, yet the film is getting a sequel with a new star cast

Force 2: John Abraham's Force (2011) was a commercial failure. However, the film had a direct sequel, Force 2 (2016), and it was a flop as well

Commando 3: The prequel to Vidyut Jammwal's actioner, Commando 2 (2017) wasn't a box office hit. Yet, the makers came up with the third instalment 

Yamla Pagla Deewana Phir Se (2018): The second part of this series was a flop. Yet, the makers came up with a third instalment, and it was a bigger flop than the prequel 

Among the titles mentioned above, Masti 4 and Desi Boyz 2 are in the pre-production stage
