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?
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, 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, 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.
Style - Xcuse Me
Before films like 3 Idiots and Ferrari Ki Sawaari, there was a time when Sharman Joshi stepped in films like Style and Xcuse Me. To be fair to the actor, Style wasn't really bad and in company of Sahil Khan, Sharman did bring on some genuine laughs. However, the sequel was an apology of a film and turned out to be a listless affair at the box office.
