Grand Masti, Krrish 3, Dhoom 3 - Sequels have turned out to be safe ventures commercially, of course with a pre-condition that they are well made too and are better than their predecessors. While two of the biggest sequels to arrive in the coming months are Singham Returns and Welcome Back, today Surveen Chawla's Hate Story 2 releases a couple of years after Paoli Dam ignited some heat with Hate Story.

While these are some of the most anticipated sequels that have been in the news for their content as well as terrific marketing campaign, there have been some that have fallen off the gaps with not many even knowing about them. Here is presenting 10 such sequels.

Badhti Ka Naam Dadhi - Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi
One of the earlier sequels that was made purely for the market reasons so as to play on the recollect value, Badhti Ka Naam Dadhi had absolutely nothing in common with Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi except for similar sounding title. Oh yes, there were Kishore Kumar and Ashok Kumar again but camaraderie with the third Kumar (Anup Kumar) was sorely missed. Interestingly, the film featured Bappi Lahiri as an actor.

Ankhiyon Ke Jharokhon Se – Jaana Pehchaana Now this was a film which was made just to cash on to sequels trend. Reason? Ranjeeta Kaur, leading lady of Ankhiyon Ke Jharokhon Se, had died in the original. However in true T.V. Serial soap style, Read More">she was revived in the form of a lookalike in JaanaRead More

Ankhiyon Ke Jharokhon Se - Jaana Pehchaana
Now this was a film which was made just to cash on to sequels trend. Reason? Ranjeeta Kaur, leading lady of Ankhiyon Ke Jharokhon Se, had died in the original. However in true T.V. Serial soap style, she was revived in the form of a lookalike in Jaana Pehchaana. Surprisingly, this was a Barjatya production and though Sachin and Ranjeeta paired up again, there was hardly any heart in the film's rather patchy release.

Krantiveer – Krantiveer: The Revolution Mehul Kumar had made quite a few successful films in the 80s but real recognition came in with films like Tiranga and Krantiveer. When bad patch hit him hard after he failed even with Amitabh Bachchan starrers like Mrityudaata and Kohram followed by some more forgettable films, Read More">the last resortRead More

Krantiveer - Krantiveer: The Revolution
Mehul Kumar had made quite a few successful films in the 80s but real recognition came in with films like Tiranga and Krantiveer. When bad patch hit him hard after he failed even with Amitabh Bachchan starrers like Mrityudaata and Kohram followed by some more forgettable films, the last resort was to make Kranitveer: The Revolution. The film marked the debut of his daughter Jahan Bloch and failed miserably.

Jewel Thief – Return of Jewel Thief Now this is one sequel that could have been thought of long time back. However, after some interesting escapades in the original story, Read More">Dev Anand and Ashok Kumar returned with the sequel.

Jewel Thief - Return of Jewel Thief
Now this is one sequel that could have been thought of long time back. However, after some interesting escapades in the original story, Dev Anand and Ashok Kumar returned with the sequel. If the Vijay Anand directed film was way ahead of its times and remains a classic till date, the sequel directed by Ashok Tyagi was a forgettable affair. Added presence of Dharmendra and Jackie Shroff couldn't save the film either.

Tom, Dick and Harry – Tom, Dick, and Harry, Rock Again Not that Tom, Dick and Harry was any classic but then a success always has been followers and the makers here didn’t want to lose out on the opportunity. None from the original cast (Dino Morea, Jimmy Shergill, Read More">Anuj Sawhney) were as part ofRead More

Tom, Dick and Harry - Tom, Dick, and Harry, Rock Again
Not that Tom, Dick and Harry was any classic but then a success always has been followers and the makers here didn't want to lose out on the opportunity. None from the original cast (Dino Morea, Jimmy Shergill, Anuj Sawhney) were as part of the film and, hold your breath, Mika Singh, Howard Rosemeyer and Aryeman Ramsay were roped in. The film was completed but then well, never released. Surprised?
