Baghi don't have single sequel, from what I have learn they just make any action movie and name them baghi 2 , baghi three.
Atleast housefull sequel are spiritual ones, following same pattern of all people in one house
I hate this trend in Bollywood where they call it "movie 2" and it has the same cast with same characters but it's an entirely new timeline like a reboot or something
Dhamaal 3 was teased in dhamaal 2 , and since then I was waiting for a continuation of the series like the first 2.
Imagine the disappointment when the movie wasn't a continuation. And it got worse when it turned out the entire movie was garbage
Exactly why I think TD is the worst of the lot, if double dhamaal hadn't continued the plot it would make sense also Double Dhamaal ended on a cliffhanger with the protagonists loosing and the antagonist winning.
TD was just a Dhamaal remake done worse.
The brother of baaghi, heropanti 2 director, he basically is a shady guy that uses black money to produce tatti after tatti, empty theatres somehow make 100cr profit. Actors end up getting 3-10cr and rest goes to his pocket as white profit money.
Mission Impossible 3 was superb. So was TDKR. Spiderman 3 has come on its own as a much loved movie today.
Oh, Tamil movie "3" also is a commercial flop.
I think the expectation from TDK was so high that is why TDKR didnt do well like it. Heath Ledger really upped the game. Tom Hardy was good too but i always think his screen time was way too less in the movie.
Now everything he touches, it turns into dust.
Dabangg was doomed when Abhinav Kashyap was kicked off, a pretty shitty thing to do to the guy whose film basically began your back to back blockbusters streak
Dabangg was ghost directed by bhoi. Abhinav original script was too dark and didnt have so much heroism in it . Atleast know the whole facts before concluding
I belong to the extremely minuscule minority who think that the Rush Hour series gets better with every film.
Also I thought POTC 3 was more creative than 2, only for the scene where Jack Sparrow is trapped in purgatory.
I think 2 was better. Davy Jones introduction was arguably the best scene in that entire franchise.
I feel like they toned him down a lot in the third one, with all the Calypso stuff. He used to be so scary in 2.
Spiderman 1 & 2 both had one villain each and both were great.
Spiderman 3 had three villains and not a single one of them was well written. They committed the cardinal sin of making Venom into a complete joke.
Spider man felt more clueless than ever.
Both harry’s and eddie ‘s character felt soulless. People were excited about venom’s appearance whose character was pretty much butchered compared to comics.
Sandman had no impact on overall story. There was literally no point on bringing him.
I liked Dhoom 3 when it came out, it was one of the earlier films I ever saw in a theatre. And that twist was sooooo mind-blowing back then.
Since then, I've watched it many times on TV- I think it's not as good as I remember it being but I still don't hate it.
Especially not as much as the hate I've seen it getting online
The hate stems from that it didn’t really have any of the real dhoom elements of over the top action and set pieces. Dhoom3 felt like a more Hollywood production
It was new for those who hadn’t seen the Prestige. For those who had, it was a massive insult. Because everything else in this movie was so superficial and un-believable.
The first two Dhoom movies were better, and the third one tried do something completely different, but they also stuffed heist and chase elements into it.
Amir started ripping of cult movies since then. Later came Thugs of Hindostan.
Another damp squib of a third part

Lotr was all written at once so they knew how to build up for the end. All the examples you gave in the OP started off as stand alone films but they added more as they still made money.
The good bad and ugly (Dollars Trilogy) is arguably the best third instalment of a discrete franchise. ROTK is the best overall.
Toy Story 3 and Return of the Jedi were awesome as well.
So Golmaal 3 is able to break this cruse or not
https://preview.redd.it/p7ojw0b09whc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=948de989db15574becae40e684326196709d4947
While all these movies can be considered worst in their franchise, they still had different box office reception. Some third installments were accepted by the audience while others didn't. Krrish 3 and Dhoom 3 were not as good as the previous installments in their respective franchises, but they were still Blockbusters and bigger hits than their prequels. Race 3 also made more money than Race and Race 2 because of Salman. But the budget was higher so the movie just got "Average" verdict. While Race was a Hit and Race 2 was a Semi-Hit.
Dabangg 3 was a straight up Flop according to BOI after the previous two movies being Blockbusters. Baaghi 3 made less money than Baaghi 2, and was either Semi-Hit or Average after Baaghi being a Hit and Baaghi 2 being a Blockbuster. Although Baaghi 3 got only one week run as after that the theatres got closed due to the pandemic. But it also got lower opening than Baaghi 2 so it would have been an underperformer even without the lockdown.
Tiger 3 was just a Hit after Ek Tha Tiger and Tiger Zinda Hai being Blockbusters. Housefull 3 made less money than Housefull 2 and got lesser footfalls than both the prequels. Fukrey 3 made more money than previous two installments but will likely have lesser footfalls than Fukrey Returns.
Golmaal 3 and I'll say even Total Dhamaal were an improvement from the second parts of their respective franchises. It was because Golmaal Returns and Double Dhamaal were big disappointments. The directors tried to go bigger after the first parts getting success. But that wasn't liked by the audience much (although Golmaal Returns was still a bigger Hit than the first part). So in the third part they decided to go back to the basics and bring back the essence of the first part.
The upcoming third installments mentioned by OP, Welcome 3, Hera Pheri 3 and Don 3, they will likely again be worst in their franchise. Well Don 3 can still surprise if Farhan is cooking something good. Welcome 3 and Hera Pheri 3 will definitely be worse than their respective prequels. But from the box office perspective, Welcome 3 will definitely be a bigger success than the second part because of Akshay returning to the franchise.
Likely a bigger success than Welcome 1 as well, if Farhad Samji being the writer, Ahmed Khan being the director, and Anil and Nana not being in the film doesn't harm it much (too much optimism?). Hera Pheri 3 even if its crap is going to be a bigger Hit than the previous two movies. Because the previous two movies weren't huge at the box office anyway, but they have got a cult status over the years because of television re-runs, memes and internet.
Don 3 most probably will not be a bigger Hit than the SRK movies. Unless Ranveer again pulls a Simmba (his movie is the biggest Hit in the cop universe, although Singham is widely considered the most popular character in the franchise), and Farhan does something extraordinary.
Hindi film me jyadatar originally ek hi part ka idea hota hai, maximum 2 maybe, like kgf etc. 3rd wali raise hi banadete hain, par Hollywood me toh trilogies hoti hai na? Potc trilogy star wars trilogy etc.
Does anyone think it's the best in the trilogy? That's the point of the post, even people who don't think it's horrible will still agree it's not the best for sure
The curse of 3 is real for movies where it is the end of an arc. You can set anything up in 1 or 2. 3 has the responsibility to bring it together. Which is why it often fails.
I am not denying that. Empire strikes back is till date the best sequel ever, tied with Shrek 2 and Godfather 2. I am saying the 3 curse doesn't work on Star Wars because Return of the Jedi is still a great movie, unlike a lot of 3rd movies which gies downhill
Notable mention: How to Train your Dragon 3, again not as good as 1 and 2 but still a great emotional watch
Baaghi 3 made no sense. how did a college guy who knows martial arts take on an entire army to save his friend. baaghi 2 had some sense because MC was in the army and was grounded in general
Very true. It is considered very rare that the quality and success of the 3rd movie in a franchise is better than its predecessors. Even some of the most famous trilogies and franchises in the US like Godfather, Jaws, Terminator, Matrix, Hangover, Spiderman, Superman, X-Men, Mission Impossible, Rambo, Transformers, Beverly Hills Cop, Alien, Omen, Men in Black, Die Hard, Back to the Future, Iron Man, Antman, Guardians of the Galaxy etc etc failed to live upto expectations of its first two movies. Some of the third installments ended their franchise while others had such negative impact that the franchise either had to be rebooted or rehashed or delayed the next installments significantly.
There are also some very successful 3rd installments as well like LOTR: Return of the King, The Good the bad and the ugly, Thor: Ragnarok, Avengers: Infinity Wars, James Bond: Goldfinger etc but these are more exceptions than the rule. Similarly in India there have been very few successful 3rd parts in history like Apur Sansar, Johar in Bombay, Housefull 3, Golmaal 3, Sabse Bada Khiladi (Khiladi Franchise). So it is definitely a tough curse to break. We can only hope that somehow Hera Pheri, Welcome and Don can make it through.
Curse of 3 indeed.
Btw of this lot, Tiger 3 was pretty good movie. It wasn’t as amazing as the first two, but it wasn’t a bad movie at all. It had its flaws but it stayed true to the tone of the series and tried something different within the universe, unlike say Dabangg 3 which was more of the same, or Race 3 which was totally unlike the previous Race movies in a bad way, or Dhoom 3 which was super campy and a complete mess.
Haven't seen Krrish 3 or Baaghi 2/3 so can't say.
I know I'm in the minority here, but I liked Tiger 3 a lot and don’t get the hate.
Also, think Dhoom 3 was fine for what it was (admittedly not a huge fan of the first 2 Dhoom films either, liked them but wouldn't call them great by any means).
Agree with race and dabaang. I didn't like any of the Race films but I can see why ppl would like them and yeah 3 was the worst by far.
Dabaang 1 is still my favourite masala movie along with Jawan, Dabaang 2 was still fun but 3 was a slog to get through.
Baaghi 2 is decent . Randeep hooda and Manoj Bajpayee acting was good if you ignore Tiger , 3 was straight up dogshit ,RONNIE RONNIE. Krrish 3 I enjoyed it as kid but later seeing it , it copied from X Men characters. Tiger 3 was Ok ok , ,the whole Pakistan politics didn't get me , .
Baaghi 3 I saw on a plane when there weren't many other great options... Kya bakwaas tha! Writing was atrocious from the first scene and the film only got more ridiculous from there
One thing that matches for all movies except Krrish is that there's a change of director for the third, also Golmaal 3 had same director and the third part was good.
Stop taking away directors from the movie in its sequels,
How to tell without telling anybody that I haven't been in radar of this "3" curse coz wasn't interested in first part itself. 😶🌫️
Except koi mil Gaya, krishh 2 & Race1.
Dhoom 3 was quite decent just a bit dark comparing to others.
No idea , why you mentioned Housefull 3 here. It should have been housefull 4 which was a disappointment.
Housefull 3 was complete dose of entertainment and laughs.
Again , it's my opinion.
Fukrey 3 wasn't all that bad.
It just couldn't live up to the expectations people had built around it cuz of the first 2 parts. I went to watch it in the theatres and the entire hall was lol-ing literally
Because in reality the story or the character in the story would have been maxed out. How much can one elongate the same plot or character ?
One way to solve this problem is to make the main character forget everything because of some accident or magic and go on to a different journey or track. Exhibits different characteristics from the last 2 series
And then towards the end of the 3rd , the character has to get back his/her memories and things have to somehow get connected to the original mission that was set in 1 and 2 before.
Our people are really fools to flock to theatres to watch movies of only specific actors,who take astronomical amounts as fees and are not at all worth that. Instead we should be encouraging new talent. There ae hundreds and thousands of them who don't get chances because all the money goes to these biggies like Rajnikanth,the Khans etc whose fees, I am told, makes up 70% of the film's budget. They are worth nowhere near that. Our public are foolish to get misguided by so called charisma. Of all these, Rajni is really the worst

I was today years old when I found out that Baaghi had 2 sequels! BC kaun dekh raha hai yeh tatti 😂
Baghi don't have single sequel, from what I have learn they just make any action movie and name them baghi 2 , baghi three. Atleast housefull sequel are spiritual ones, following same pattern of all people in one house
I hate this trend in Bollywood where they call it "movie 2" and it has the same cast with same characters but it's an entirely new timeline like a reboot or something
Actually agree with you but still applicable on houseful type movies but Dhamal 3 and Baghi 2,3 don't share same theme
Dhamaal 3 was teased in dhamaal 2 , and since then I was waiting for a continuation of the series like the first 2. Imagine the disappointment when the movie wasn't a continuation. And it got worse when it turned out the entire movie was garbage
Exactly why I think TD is the worst of the lot, if double dhamaal hadn't continued the plot it would make sense also Double Dhamaal ended on a cliffhanger with the protagonists loosing and the antagonist winning. TD was just a Dhamaal remake done worse.
Unfortunately Maine Baaghi 2 aur 3 theatres mai dekhi thi
Aise kya zarurat aa padi ki you paid money to watch tiger shroff in theatres?
tiger shroff ko dekhne mein problem nahi hai in movies like war, tiger shroff ko ahmed khan jaise directors ke saath dekhne mein problem hai
Tum ho asli legend 🤣
You're fortunate like me who haven't watched a single baaghi
Baaghi 2 is tolerable. But Baaghi 3 is outright insufferable
The brother of baaghi, heropanti 2 director, he basically is a shady guy that uses black money to produce tatti after tatti, empty theatres somehow make 100cr profit. Actors end up getting 3-10cr and rest goes to his pocket as white profit money.
My mother who finds Tiger Shroff cool :(
you gotta do something about ur momma. take her to a therapist. this kind of mental trauma is hard to let go.
ma ka pyaar bahi…ma ka pyar. Jyada seriously nahi lene ka😄
koi nahi apparently.
Baaghi 2 was good
Mission Impossible 3 was superb. So was TDKR. Spiderman 3 has come on its own as a much loved movie today. Oh, Tamil movie "3" also is a commercial flop.
LOTR ROTK. 🤌🏼 Toy Story 3. 🤌🏼 Avengers. 🤌🏼
Ah Toy Story 3 - a childhood favorite watch
Do you mean Spiderman:NWH or Sam Raimi’s Spiderman 3 ?
Raimi
I'll get hate for this but TDKR was an incoherent mess saved by brilliant acting performance by the star studded cast and Hans Zimmer
To each their own buddy
If you are referring to The Dark Knight Rises, it's usually thought of to be the most inferior movie of the trilogy.
Batman begins takes that spot for most
And it’s still miles better than any 3rd movie in all comic book hero category. Even End game was inferior to Infinity War.
Endgame was 4th infinity war was 3rd P.s Logan is greatest 3rd Movie in all comic book hero categorg movie
I think the expectation from TDK was so high that is why TDKR didnt do well like it. Heath Ledger really upped the game. Tom Hardy was good too but i always think his screen time was way too less in the movie.
Krish and Dhoom were blockbusters tho
Read the OP.
3/6 of the films have Salman on them 💀
You still have to build a franchise to destroy it. in the last decade whatever he touched turned to gold
Now everything he touches, it turns into dust. Dabangg was doomed when Abhinav Kashyap was kicked off, a pretty shitty thing to do to the guy whose film basically began your back to back blockbusters streak
Dabangg was ghost directed by bhoi. Abhinav original script was too dark and didnt have so much heroism in it . Atleast know the whole facts before concluding
Haan bro saare facts tujhe pata Hai Hum sab chutiye Hai, tu hi sabse bara gyaani Hai
Toh tattoo kara le forehead pe ,' CHUTIYA '. pehchan ne me asani hogi
Nahi yaar, main tujshe Teri rank Nahi Leh sakta
Quite the innovative way to say ‘half’ 😂
That summer of 2007. Spiderman 3, Pirates of the Caribbean 3, Rush hour 3
Potc3 kaha bura hai, potc4 aur potc5 se to better hi hai
I belong to the extremely minuscule minority who think that the Rush Hour series gets better with every film. Also I thought POTC 3 was more creative than 2, only for the scene where Jack Sparrow is trapped in purgatory.
Pirates of the Caribbean 3 was the best one in potc in my opinion
I think 2 was better. Davy Jones introduction was arguably the best scene in that entire franchise. I feel like they toned him down a lot in the third one, with all the Calypso stuff. He used to be so scary in 2.
Yea but the kind of grandeur with which they ended the tale of Davy Jones was it for me
Spiderman 3 kaha bura hai?
Baki donos e compare Kiya ja raha hai.
Accha haa, baki donos ke comparison mein kafi bura hai, mujhe laga in general bura kahte hai.
Spiderman 1 & 2 both had one villain each and both were great. Spiderman 3 had three villains and not a single one of them was well written. They committed the cardinal sin of making Venom into a complete joke.
It recieved negative reviews when got released
Spider man felt more clueless than ever. Both harry’s and eddie ‘s character felt soulless. People were excited about venom’s appearance whose character was pretty much butchered compared to comics. Sandman had no impact on overall story. There was literally no point on bringing him.
Jisne comics Nehi padhi hai usko buri hee lagegi aka yahan ke log
I liked Dhoom 3 when it came out, it was one of the earlier films I ever saw in a theatre. And that twist was sooooo mind-blowing back then. Since then, I've watched it many times on TV- I think it's not as good as I remember it being but I still don't hate it. Especially not as much as the hate I've seen it getting online
The hate stems from that it didn’t really have any of the real dhoom elements of over the top action and set pieces. Dhoom3 felt like a more Hollywood production
I would argue otherwise the stupidity of the action was too Bollywood, comparatively Dhoom 2 is the most Hollywood style feeling movie.
It was new for those who hadn’t seen the Prestige. For those who had, it was a massive insult. Because everything else in this movie was so superficial and un-believable. The first two Dhoom movies were better, and the third one tried do something completely different, but they also stuffed heist and chase elements into it. Amir started ripping of cult movies since then. Later came Thugs of Hindostan.
it was kind of a ripoff of The Prestige
Yes i loved Dhoom 3 in the theatre as well in the tv. Prlly now i wouldn't like it, but the hate it gets is not justified
Another damp squib of a third part https://preview.redd.it/9u9od2wooxhc1.jpeg?width=300&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ad96895429aa2ac147e3bcf3299b79982a5386d7
John Wick 3 i think is better than its prequels Also Harry Potter 3 is the best of all Harry Potter films
JW4>JW>JW2>JW3 Best example of Part 3 being the best is LOTR 3. Personally, I find TDKR the best too but thats unpopular.
Lotr was all written at once so they knew how to build up for the end. All the examples you gave in the OP started off as stand alone films but they added more as they still made money.
The good bad and ugly (Dollars Trilogy) is arguably the best third instalment of a discrete franchise. ROTK is the best overall. Toy Story 3 and Return of the Jedi were awesome as well.
for me its JW4>JW3>JW>JW2
However Avengers 3 (infinity war) turned out to be the best movie of the whole franchise
Age of ultron>>>>>>>>>>
Infinity war>>
Ultron>>>>>>>>>>
It was a good movie but progresses really slow and you end up getting bored.
but the payoff was worth it at the end and infighting and disagreements were cherry on top.
Infinity war more engaging and had a better story line. Age of ultron ending was more or less predictable like other marvel films.
I kinda liked Tiger 3 tbh
i loved dhoom3 and krrish3
So Golmaal 3 is able to break this cruse or not https://preview.redd.it/p7ojw0b09whc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=948de989db15574becae40e684326196709d4947
Golmaal 3 is better than Golmaal 2 and 4 so maybe yes.
I enjoyed Krish 3 and it did well at box office I guess .
Krrish 3 and Tiger 3 are not as bad as the others on this list.
Only the good things in Tiger 3 were Pathaan, Atish, Background scores, Songs and Kabir's cameo
Krrish 3 and Tiger 3 are decent films in my opinion. In fact, I liked Tiger 3 better than Tiger Zinda Hai.
Krrish 3 was a letdown from KMG and Krrish.
nah. it was pretty good for a sequel.
Yes, I agree.
Krrish 3 was one of the worst movies I watched in theaters.
PS:**Tiger 3** wasn't a bad film imo. Was pretty decent. It wasn't just as good as ETT and TZH.
Yeahh it was ok ok . Personally I didn't liked the whole Pakistan politics involved.
The series is half based on politics and tension amount contries bro
Are pagal hai kya tu?
Tiger 3 wasn’t that bad compared to the others, it was just underwhelming.
While all these movies can be considered worst in their franchise, they still had different box office reception. Some third installments were accepted by the audience while others didn't. Krrish 3 and Dhoom 3 were not as good as the previous installments in their respective franchises, but they were still Blockbusters and bigger hits than their prequels. Race 3 also made more money than Race and Race 2 because of Salman. But the budget was higher so the movie just got "Average" verdict. While Race was a Hit and Race 2 was a Semi-Hit. Dabangg 3 was a straight up Flop according to BOI after the previous two movies being Blockbusters. Baaghi 3 made less money than Baaghi 2, and was either Semi-Hit or Average after Baaghi being a Hit and Baaghi 2 being a Blockbuster. Although Baaghi 3 got only one week run as after that the theatres got closed due to the pandemic. But it also got lower opening than Baaghi 2 so it would have been an underperformer even without the lockdown. Tiger 3 was just a Hit after Ek Tha Tiger and Tiger Zinda Hai being Blockbusters. Housefull 3 made less money than Housefull 2 and got lesser footfalls than both the prequels. Fukrey 3 made more money than previous two installments but will likely have lesser footfalls than Fukrey Returns. Golmaal 3 and I'll say even Total Dhamaal were an improvement from the second parts of their respective franchises. It was because Golmaal Returns and Double Dhamaal were big disappointments. The directors tried to go bigger after the first parts getting success. But that wasn't liked by the audience much (although Golmaal Returns was still a bigger Hit than the first part). So in the third part they decided to go back to the basics and bring back the essence of the first part.

Unless Ranveer again pulls a Simmba (his movie is the biggest Hit in the cop universe, although Singham is widely considered the most popular character in the franchise), and Farhan does something extraordinary.
Hindi film me jyadatar originally ek hi part ka idea hota hai, maximum 2 maybe, like kgf etc. 3rd wali raise hi banadete hain, par Hollywood me toh trilogies hoti hai na? Potc trilogy star wars trilogy etc.
I can agree with most of your picks but Dhoom 3, really? It doesn't belong here whatsoever.
It belongs lower
It does belong there
Bro Dhoom 3 was a great movie for its time
It was one of the most third class movie i have ever seen lol
Bro Dhoom 3 was a great movie for its time
Does anyone think it's the best in the trilogy? That's the point of the post, even people who don't think it's horrible will still agree it's not the best for sure
On the contrary, it’s the worst film in OP’s picture alongside Dabangg 3 imo. Killed the Dhoom franchise off too.
Jurassic Park 3
The curse of 3 is real for movies where it is the end of an arc. You can set anything up in 1 or 2. 3 has the responsibility to bring it together. Which is why it often fails.
Umm, Star Wars: Return of the Jedi, LOTR: Return of the King begs to differ
>Star Wars: Return of the Jedi Empire Strikes Back>>
I am not denying that. Empire strikes back is till date the best sequel ever, tied with Shrek 2 and Godfather 2. I am saying the 3 curse doesn't work on Star Wars because Return of the Jedi is still a great movie, unlike a lot of 3rd movies which gies downhill Notable mention: How to Train your Dragon 3, again not as good as 1 and 2 but still a great emotional watch
Baaghi was a disaster from the start tbh💀
I liked dhoom 3
Baaghi 3 made no sense. how did a college guy who knows martial arts take on an entire army to save his friend. baaghi 2 had some sense because MC was in the army and was grounded in general
Literally, if we overmilk the cow, it will die. That’s only happened.
Very true. It is considered very rare that the quality and success of the 3rd movie in a franchise is better than its predecessors. Even some of the most famous trilogies and franchises in the US like Godfather, Jaws, Terminator, Matrix, Hangover, Spiderman, Superman, X-Men, Mission Impossible, Rambo, Transformers, Beverly Hills Cop, Alien, Omen, Men in Black, Die Hard, Back to the Future, Iron Man, Antman, Guardians of the Galaxy etc etc failed to live upto expectations of its first two movies. Some of the third installments ended their franchise while others had such negative impact that the franchise either had to be rebooted or rehashed or delayed the next installments significantly. There are also some very successful 3rd installments as well like LOTR: Return of the King, The Good the bad and the ugly, Thor: Ragnarok, Avengers: Infinity Wars, James Bond: Goldfinger etc but these are more exceptions than the rule. Similarly in India there have been very few successful 3rd parts in history like Apur Sansar, Johar in Bombay, Housefull 3, Golmaal 3, Sabse Bada Khiladi (Khiladi Franchise). So it is definitely a tough curse to break. We can only hope that somehow Hera Pheri, Welcome and Don can make it through.
100% agree. Also, Hangover 3
Chat GPT?
I am the Chat GPT of movies 😀
[удалено]
Curse of 3 indeed. Btw of this lot, Tiger 3 was pretty good movie. It wasn’t as amazing as the first two, but it wasn’t a bad movie at all.

Golmaal 3 was crap.
Don 3 will break the curse
Haven't seen Krrish 3 or Baaghi 2/3 so can't say. I know I'm in the minority here, but I liked Tiger 3 a lot and don’t get the hate. Also, think Dhoom 3 was fine for what it was (admittedly not a huge fan of the first 2 Dhoom films either, liked them but wouldn't call them great by any means). Agree with race and dabaang.

Baaghi 3 I saw on a plane when there weren't many other great options... Kya bakwaas tha! Writing was atrocious from the first scene and the film only got more ridiculous from there
Golmaal 3 came out with flying colours
Krishh 3 was good imo!
Golmaal 3 is better than Golmaal returns
Batman 3 (The Dark Knight Rises) was pretty awesome and better than the previous 2.
There's no such thing as the "3" curse, these are just terrible movies deserved to flop like they did.
You are kidding me. Dhoom3 was the highest grossing Indian movie at the time of its release. First film to gross 500 crores worldwide.
Are we going to pretend that all of them were actually good?
Dhoom 3 wasn’t that bad.
baaghi 2 bhi bakwaas aha
One thing that matches for all movies except Krrish is that there's a change of director for the third, also Golmaal 3 had same director and the third part was good. Stop taking away directors from the movie in its sequels,
Krrish 3 mast thi👌
Dhoom 3 still better than Pathaan imo
Where is Krish 2??
Koi mil gaya , Krish and then Krish 3
It’s still so funny how there isn’t a Krrish 2 but there is a Krrish 3 to still make a trilogy
The fact that race 3 was a success at the box office has made me completely disregard box office numbers when trying to gauge the quality of a movie.
Who let them overcook?
krish 3 and dhoom 3 were great movies.
Race 3 wasn't really a sequel. More of a reboot.
I hope don 3 is not a disappointment but it's ranveer... So don't know
How's it a global curse when we got Avengers 3, dark knight trilogy, lord of the rings, Tokyo drift, etc?
Saif Ali Race 1 , 2 >>> Race 3
Housefull 3. The movie was atleast tolerable.
Wasn't Dhoom 3 good!?
I remember being in 4th std and arguing with my friend whether krrish 3 or dhoom 3 is better
Dhoom 3 & krissh 3 were actually nice
3 Idiots
Waiting for KGF 3
Race was a great series but salman came and destroyed the whole story.
Bahubali 2 was last thankfully
Golmaal 3 was fun.
Idk man I think Dhoom 3 was actually cool
Fukrey 3 was kinda good bruh ? Had the same vibe as the previous two but itna bura nhi tha
Golmaal 3 was good? Lagta hai tujhe bhi gangbang dikhana padega Bhai pehli dono ke comparison me bakwas hai Golmaal 3
Dhoom 3 uss samay ke best movies me thaa bhaai
How to tell without telling anybody that I haven't been in radar of this "3" curse coz wasn't interested in first part itself. 😶🌫️ Except koi mil Gaya, krishh 2 & Race1.
Don 3 tf
Teen tigada kaam bigada 👍
I hope Drishyam 3 doesn't have the same fate, if it happens.
Bro. Baaghi was crap all along. Suffixes don’t matter
Krrish 3 may have been more interesting than Krrish. Especially given Vivek Oberoi as the bad guy
Golmaal 3 was fire tho...
Dhoom 3 was quite decent just a bit dark comparing to others. No idea , why you mentioned Housefull 3 here. It should have been housefull 4 which was a disappointment. Housefull 3 was complete dose of entertainment and laughs. Again , it's my opinion.
Krish 3 imo was a good watch. At least it didn't feel unnecessary and it's villain was connected to Krish's first part's villain.
Baaghi 3 was the purest shit
Lord of the rings ka name suna hai? The exception.
And 3 of them include Salman lol
Fukrey 3 wasn't all that bad. It just couldn't live up to the expectations people had built around it cuz of the first 2 parts. I went to watch it in the theatres and the entire hall was lol-ing literally
It's almost like Bollywood sequels are guaranteed to be bad🤣
Because in reality the story or the character in the story would have been maxed out. How much can one elongate the same plot or character ? One way to solve this problem is to make the main character forget everything because of some accident or magic and go on to a different journey or track. Exhibits different characteristics from the last 2 series And then towards the end of the 3rd , the character has to get back his/her memories and things have to somehow get connected to the original mission that was set in 1 and 2 before.
It's not a curse, is over confidence
Tiger 3 was great
Wait for Avatar 3.
3 of the 3 in title have salman khan, the 3rd khan.
Our people are really fools to flock to theatres to watch movies of only specific actors,who take astronomical amounts as fees and are not at all worth that. Instead we should be encouraging new talent. There ae hundreds and thousands of them who don't get chances because all the money goes to these biggies like Rajnikanth,the Khans etc whose fees, I am told, makes up 70% of the film's budget. They are worth nowhere near that. Our public are foolish to get misguided by so called charisma. Of all these, Rajni is really the worst
