1920 London (2016)

Waste of time

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

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 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

In Year 2008, Movie titled 1920 released and merged the Success with the label of Best Horror in Bollywood. In 2012, 1920 The Evil Returns released and again marked the Success on Box office. Now, In 2016 after 4 years, 1920 London the third Installment released of its franchise. Will these part of 1920 leaves to expectation and gets success to fear the audience. Let's analyze.Movie starts with arrival Shivangi (Meera Chopra) from London to Sikar (Rajasthan). She tells incidents that forced her to come back home to her Parents. Story goes into flashback incidents occurred with her husband Veer Singh (Vishal Karwa). Everything going well with them in London, until Veer receives a gift from Rajasthan. Suddenly strange things begin to happen with Veer Singh. Shivangi comes to know that her husband is a helpless victim of black magic and only Jay (Sharman Joshi) who can help her from these Black Magic. Jay is the person who is her past love affair and resulted to falsely imprisoned for 5 years due to Shivangi's Family. Shivangi reaches to Jay for help, but he ignores to help Shivangi because of past issues. After Shivangi's request, Jay accepts to help out Shivangi. Now Question is will Jay is able to enslave the spirit and set Veer free from Black Magic?1920 London is really Scary in some moments and sequences. Some Scenes gives you goosebumps and makes you frighten. Especially, The Possession Scene, where Sharman Joshi set free to one women from Spirit, that Scene really gives you spine chilling experience. On the other side Movie struggles with lack moments, which makes movie boring for some time. But Its Background score which makes you connected to the Movie. Cinematography of Movie is top class. Cinematographer has done a good job of capturing the beauty of London. Sharman Joshi has given complete justice to his role, not Superb but nice performance. Meera Chopra is OK in her performance. Nothing more for Vishal Karwar to do, but he done good job for whatever he gets. Music is Strictly OK. there will be no problem, If songs where deleted. It may help to movie to short more 15 minutes. Only One Song 'Gumnam Hai Koi' was remixed very well which comes in end of the Movie as Bonus Song.Overall, 1920 London is really Scary with terrifying moments and sequences. If you are fan of Horror genre, 1920 London will not let you down.

And speaks mandarin Chinese. Makes much more sense. I guess I am trying to figure out exactly what the hell this is supposed to be.Seriously? This is an all Indian film, composed of all Indian actors, and it is called 1920 London. Obviously very accurate.Yet conversely people go totally ballistic when Dragon Ball Z and Ghost In A Shell star non Asian actors...and rightly so. This is a stupid concept. In 1920 London was not inhabited entirely of Indian people, strangely enough. Maybe the fact that the English love curry threw you off? Understandable. But still a stupid concept.Cant wait to see roots remade with an all Mexican cast. Or The Muhammad Ali story starring Seth Rogen and Lucy Liu.Anyway, that's my take. Enjoy!
