So, this has been a five-movie franchise that ran for 42 years. Then after a break of more than two decades, the adventurous archaeologist Indy came back with Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008). It was followed by Temple of Doom (1984) and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989). The much-loved series began in 1981 with the blockbuster Raiders of the Lost Ark. This fifth edition of the Indian Jones series will be releasing in theatres on June 30 and with it, the iconic franchise will end for good. Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny had its world premiere at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival a few days ago. I love how definitive and memorable the end of these stories have been. I adore these classics and their climactic sequences. Then instantly, I am thankful that these franchise movies do not exist.
A possible thriller about a face-off between Viru and Gabbar’s kids in ‘Sholay 2’ or a story about Salim-Anarkali’s new adventure in something called ‘Mughal-e-Azam-Returns’.
Say a hypothetical Sholay franchise or a Mughal-e-Azam franchise. I often think what would have happened if the ‘franchise movies’ culture was big in Bollywood, like it has been in Hollywood.
