1920 London

Bon film !

Bon film !

I like 1920 (2008) movie, one of the most scariest hunted bollywood movies and has good background story. That why I watch this 1920 London which is totally waste 0 of 10 story kinda lame, there on part that feel like scary. This movie is joke, look at Main protagonist playing poor but look at his dress.

Shivangi and Veer are happily living in London. But after receiving a parcel from India, Veer is possessed by a witch. So,Shivangi returns to India to seek help from Jai sing an exorcist. The story has nothing new to offer but the twist before the second half is interesting which do not last for long.Songs are good .Performance wise Sharman Joshi is impressive. But, the problem with this film is that the screenplay had been poorly written.And there are no scary scenes in this flick which can make you scream.However, the climax is the only nice part of this film which do not let you down. Though the VFX are good but not scary,background score could've been better.There is also a good thing about this film that it does not bore.Honestly, I'm saying that this is the only film in the 1920 series which I like.Vikram sir, if you had worked on script a little more it could've been a good horror film. "Wait for another film in series", is my advice to the horror fans.

I didn't really enjoy this movie. I thought the costumes were great, and the actors did a decent job, but so much about it just irked me. The conflict in the movie could have been resolved if characters actually communicated. The english countryside was ok. Bollywood has mostly managed to miss the mark by miles & this film is no different. On the whole, '1920 London' fails as a horror film.

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.

When i read that this is an Indian horror movie i did't expect too much. But even though some of the effects were childish i could say,the movie is very good and some of the scenes take your breath away. Youn can feel the horror somehow and the romance between this couple. Strange combination but too good.. In the end the happy ending is that the married couple is still together and alive because the other guy gave his soul for them.. Nice try really..

While in London, Indian Prince Veer becomes possessed or at least is having bad muscle spasms. While in this state, his wife travels to India to find a Baba who can help. As it turns out, this is a very powerful demon that can only be exorcised by the Baba of Mewar, who happens to be Jai, the former lover of the princess. Their story is complex and twists like a double helix. Let's just say there is a lot of bad blood between the rich princess and the penniless shepherd, ex-con. The film is more like a love story with a demon tossed in. There were two musical numbers within the film, although not the typical Bollywood where everyone stops what they are doing and does a line dance. The special effects were alright, however Veer's possessed squirm I found comical. In fact I found myself laughing at the film more than with it. Way too long, but then what Bollywood film isn't. According to the history of woman's skirt lengths, skirts above the knee were not worn in 1920...just saying. Bollywood production: No swearing, sex, or nudity. Now there was a man reaching for a woman's top, must have gotten within 3 feet of the garb

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 was geared up to watch this one too. The poster at the movie theater made it look like a great horror movie and I could not wait to check it out. So maybe my hopes were too high going into it. Basically a woman's husband gets possessed by a ghost and the only one who can save him is a her ex-lover who's love she betrayed and it got him sent to prison were he learned the dark arts. The movie drags on for far too long, but then half way through the movie there is a really cool plot twist that made the movie so worth seeing. The only problem is, the movie does not end there and keeps going messing up the perfect ending. My only guess is that Bollywood needs a certain type of ending like Hollywood does and is willing to screw up what could have been a decent picture in order to get it. The lousy special effects and the god awful acting coming from the main actress could have been forgiven, if they would have ended with the great plot twist. And I here that this is one in a series of films, and that the others are better and scarier, but 1920 London makes me not want to sit through any to give it a try.
