Just perfect...

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

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.

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 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.

Watched This movie today because of my friend insisted too much.Bad Things of movie -> Ghost is great to play hide and seek and funny more then scary. -> One of the worst direction I've ever seen in my life. -> Bad story line -> Very immature movie mistakes, example, when sharman joshi throws wood block to mirror and it cracks but the locket he threw got passed, but how? -> Bad casting -> Actors didn't know what the acting actually is. -> bad CGI effects. -> sharman joshi doesn't look like mewad wale baba, LOL, c'mon he just look like a young man who can do good comedy but not horror.One more funny moment, when a person (baba) want to control evil spirit, the spirit takes him in the mirror and beats the hell out of him and throws back outside of mirror, Its funny and i liked that scene because of that comedy which was actually should be horror.-> Ghost just fly around. Why ghost took sharman's soul at the end but not anyone else? Hell, sharman could offer anyone else's soul to ghost, This is one more stupid mistake.-> How ghost have the locket back if it was threw in the Thames river? is the ghost scuba diver?-> At first ghost took control of the body of veer singh but later on the ghost was fighting with sharman joshi, basically director thinks that we are stupid, and yes that ghost has a body, lol a soul has a body (in mirror world though) then can we can call her a human?Good Things of movie -> Found none.So in the end watch something else like Tom & Jerry at youtube instead of this shitty movie.
