#1 Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam, 1999
Watching Salman Khan and Aishwarya Rai in the lead again would be quite spectacular, considering everything that’s happened between them ever since. But the lead pair aside, with Bhansali, you would expect phenomenal music, memorable choreography, and a tight script.
#2 Andaz Apna Apna, 1994
A sequel to Andaz Apna Apna has the potential to set the box office ablaze, unlike the first time around. As long as the heart of the first film is retained, a sequel to this cult comedy classic would entertain the most diverse of Indian audiences ranging from a two-year-old child to a 99-year-old elderly.
#3 Go Goa Gone, 2013
Go Goa Gone was a film like none other at the time of release. It enthralled the Indian audiences with its humorous portrayal of urban life and, of course, with its introduction of zombies in Bollywoodland. A sequel would introduce more zombie slaying and more bold and urban comedy, and most city-bred audiences would be up for that any time of the day.
#4 Queen, 2014

Kangana Ranaut’s performance in Queen was one of the highlights of that year in Bollywood. The film also won massive critical acclaim for its warm and uplifting quality. If a sequel were to be released, the film’s box office success would easily surpass its predecessor’s.
#5 Yuva, 2004
Yuva was a powerful movie that accurately captured what the youth felt about the Indian society and politics at the time. Although 11 years have gone by since its release, a sequel would even to this day find itself extremely relevant.
#6 Dil Chahta Hai, 2001
Dil Chahta Hai was a pioneering film for the urban film genre in India. It dared to be different with its straightforward and bold portrayal of urban life, without being too smart about it. Fourteen years later, how would Dil Chahta Hai look and sound? Only a sequel could tell us, and we’d only be excited for it.
#7 Zindagi Na Milegi Dobaara, 2011
Another defining urban film, Zindagi Na Milegi Dobaara was well received by a wide urban audience upon release. A well-made sequel to the movie that explores the mature ideas of letting go and living in the moment would be welcome with open “alms” at the box office, and would hopefully inspire the making of more such films in Bollywood.
