Gripping story with well-crafted characters
Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction
View MoreIt's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
View MoreGreat story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
View MoreWhile 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
View MoreI 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.
View MoreThis 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.
View MoreThis movie represents Indian Film Industry as immature and imperfect. The starting storyline of the movie is not descriptive enough and you ask yourself 'Why should i watch the movie further, if i don't feel connected to the main characters?'My another astonishment - Jai (Sherman Joshi) lives in a worn out hut but wears the latest updated fashion of 21st century! I wanna ask, where in India, the 1920's, did he get his coat dry cleaned? And how did he pay for the dry cleaning service?? (He never took any money from his clients calling it social service)Let's come to the branding. The movie is a mixture of scenes and ideas copied from Hollywood movies such as, 'The Exorcist', 'The exorcism of emily rose', 'The Conjuring', 'The Ring' and maybe more i don't recall all of 'em......which goes bad on the image of Indian Film Industry.....being released in foreign countries like U.S.A etc.The only thing I can remember original to this movie is bad animation. Example, the whole scene with ship to London, turns out to be more close to Cartoon Animation films we've watched as kids on Cartoon Network and all. So, I doubt they've even been to London and actually, shot out the sets on hill stations.Meera Chopra's Acting is monotonous. Every time she gets scared, the intensity of expressions on her face is the same.Expecting box office collections due to the previous image(of 1st part) of '1920 series' is foolery. Deception to public's trust.The final impression this movie had on my mind,'Jab jab bhoot hasaa, tab mai bhi hasaa' i.e. every time the ghost laughed, i laughed as well. :D
