It has become a trend in almost all countries that whenever a film becomes a hit, sequels are made again of the same film. Because the general audience feels connected to that film, they easily connect with its sequel and the films become hits.
In India too, making sequels in the film industry started with the film Nigahen: Nagina Part II released in 1989, which was a sequel to the superhit Hindi film Nagina released in 1986. Thus the Hindi film Nigahen: Nagina Part II was the first sequel film in India. However, even after many years, no producer paid attention to making a sequel film. After many years, in the year 2006, the film Krrish came, which was a sequel to the superhit film Koi Mil Gaya (2003). This film was a big hit. The process of making sequel films accelerated in his Bollywood. After that sequels of movies like Krrish, Golmaal, Welcome, Housefull, Munnabhai, Gadar, Bhool Bhulaiyaa, Enthiran (Robot), Commando, Heropanti, Don, Yamla Pagla Deewana, Baaghi, Raaz, OMG, Dream Girl, KGF, Singham, Drishyam, Baahubali, etc. were made and the box office proved to be quite successful. In some sequel films, the story takes place where it was in the previous film. Its main characters remain the same. So in some sequel films only the characters remain the same but the story starts afresh.
