Directed by Tinu Suresh Desai, 1920 London is the third supernatural drama produced by Vikram Bhatt set in that year. The fascination began in 2008 with 1920, which was centred around a ghostly stately manor and an exorcism.In 2012's 1920: The Evil Returns, the director, cast and locations were new, but the story revisited the themes of possession and evil spirits idea. Desai's 2016 film is set between in 1920s London and Rajasthan.However period correctness is clearly not a priority with the filmmaker as we see Shivangi, a royal married woman with her head uncovered in a Rajput court, and gliding around her manor in the UK with her knees and arms exposed.This is a fashion forward Victorian era! If one were to dwell on authenticity, it would be hard to get past the changing length of Sharman Joshi's beard and hair.So let's cut to the plot instead. The life of a happily married young couple in London changes horrifyingly after the arrival of a surprise gift from India. A spirit seeps out and possesses the husband. Shivangi (Meera Chopra) returns to India to seek help as she sees her husband Veer Singh's (Vishal Karwal) health decline dramatically.Fearing that a dangerous spirit has possessed him, she approaches a renowned exorcist. He turns out to be none other than her former lover, Jai (Sharman Joshi). In spite of having been dumped and served jail term because of Shivangi's betrayal, Jai travels to London to save Veer.The story relies on pulling off one major twist, but it's a rather obvious one and once you figure it out the sporadic and half-hearted attempts at grisly, jumpy scares ebb away. A jilted lover with black magic expertise is hardly likely to be a saint.Sharman Joshi tries hard to play menacing, mysterious and repentant but he's just out of step in the part of an exorcist. Meera Chopra is unimpressive as the helpless wife while Karwal spends most of the film lying in a bed being eaten away by the evil spirit.Besides one extended exorcism scene, and the painstaking make-up that shows Veer's gradual degradation by the spirit, this is a drab effort with hardly a shock sandwiched between all the frills, frocks and Rajput finery.Perhaps all the horror there was, has been sucked out of 1920.

I am found of Horror movies and wait eagerly to watch specifically if it is a Hindi Movie.After Ramsay brand of Horror Vikram Bhatt and Ramgopal Verma are holding the flag. 1920 London comes from successful 1920 franchise. But this movie disappoints, though the promos and the story looked promising.Lets talk about the movie. When will Vikram Bhatt stop follow the routine that he is depicting in all earlier ventures. Though he is not the director but writer of the movie. For ages we have seen a mistress named as KESAR Maa... it seems like his lucky mascot. Copy the scenes of " The Excorsit " in almost every so called Horror movie. Try too catch ghost through a mirror this is the 3rd movie i remember that follows the same pathThe problem of this movie is its half baked plot, lack of continuity of scenes. Very Bad CGI ...No scary scene at all wonder why this is called a Horror movie...Direction is poor the director needs to work very hard as some scenes in the movie which are supposed to be scary turns out as comicalActing.. Sharman tries hard but fails his look in the movie no where resembles to a poor Tantrik baba ( He looks like a model in a designer outfit)... Meera Chopra pleasssse can you learn acting though not her but the director's fault because he cast ed her... Rest is forgettable...Cheers! to some of the Ramsay fans who might watch this, movie features some of the Ramsay's regular who show screen presence for 1 to 2 minutes and then disappear ... Surendra Pal, Gajendra Chauhan, Siraj Mustafa, Arun Bali , Sushmita Mukherjee...The Climax of the movie is comical... Music is Bad.. Background music is also average. though Cinematography is goodOverall this is half baked movie and if you watch this will leave you in bad taste..Vikram Bhatt please reinvent your horror or it is the time again when ... We want the Ramsay.. Horror Back

1920 London - I had very much made my mind that i will not write any review for this. But then i convinced myself that i have to tell my friends so that they don't waste their money on this. If ask me , i would say that Bollywood Audience must abandon Horror movie to full (for the record i went to watch it on friend's request on his money ). I don't remember when was the last time i had seen a good Horror flick made by Bollywood (may be the first 1920). And seriously saying , in the name of Horror movies they are providing nonsense. OK i will try to keep it interesting. The worst news is that the director Tinu Desai is a really bad director. I mean i didn't find the movie in control of someone , like nobody cares how bad actors are acting or how bad a scene looks. Ques No. 1)And Why This Is The Worst News ? Ans -Because Tinu Desai is also directing RUSTAM starring Akhsay and Illiana and i was really expecting something from that movie. Now my expectations will be low. Ques No. 2) How was the acting? Ans- Bad . Really Bad. You cant imagine this is the same actor who was so awesome in 3 Idiot , Rang De Basanti and Golamaal 1. And shocking last hit of Sharman was 3 Idiot 6 long years ago. Meera Chopda was even worse. She doesn't seem like an actress at all. Lets not discuss about anyone else. Ques No. 3) How were the story , screenplay and dialogues ? Ans - Vikram Bhatt is a decent director but he has never been a good writer. And i don't know why he doesn't concentrate on his directing carrier only . Screenplay along with editing is too bad. There were so long and unnecessary scenes you cant imagine. Let me give you an example. At the very climax our female lead gets a letter of our male lead , she read it , her expression changes , she walks slowly , call her husband , her husband looked at her , she looked at him , she gave him the letter , husband again look at her , then he open the letter and again look at her , then he starts reading again looked at her , then he complete his reading and again looked at her.. Nobody says Nothing and we go to flashback where it was shown that what was written in the letter . I mean that letter reading could have been a less then 2 min scene but i don't remember how long it went. About the dialogues , please someday tell the writer , if your movie is called 1920 London , it doesn't mean that dialogues written seems like have been written that long back. Ques No. 4) Is there enough Horror Sequences ? Ans - R U Kidding Me ? I felt like i just walk out of watching a comedy movie. Ques No. 5) Is anything at all good in the movie ? Ans - Yes Of course , i really liked the costumes of Sharman Joshi. He looked awesome. And for his getup , i will give this movie 2.4/10.. Oh , i forgot to mention , when nearly 3/4 of the movie was finished , i had to shake my friend because he just went to sleep. By ANuP APu KuMaR.

This movie is the worst installment of one of the better Bollywood horror franchise 1920.If ambiance sound and pathetic CGI generated crows and Daayan give you spoof than this one will surely scare you.The only scary part of the movie was Meera chopra's performance.I was sacred every time she delivered a dialogue yeah she is that bad.The story is damn slow too even though there is a nice twist before the interval that could have salvaged this movie but that too is thrown out of the window 10 mins into the second half.The only saving grace of the movie is Sharman Joshi as Jai.All in all the movie has nothing that made the previous two installments a success.No good music,no horror,pathetic story and even performances are not good.
