1920: Evil Returns

Nothing is more painful than a movie having Aftab as a lead. I think I described everything in the movie already.😏

A sequel to the 2008 box-office hit '1920', '1920: Evil Returns' is Spooky! Its got the thrills!

'1920: Evil Returns' Synopsis: A famous poet meets a woman who is in trouble. In order to treat her, he takes her to Shimla in a big hospital, but soon that woman gets possessed by devil and goes out of control.

'1920: Evil Returns' is as scary as '1920' was. Vikram Bhatt & Amin Hajee's Screenplay isn't foolproof, but it offers some great thrills & engaging moments, especially in the second-hour. Cinematographer-Turned-Director Bhushan Patel knows his job. Cinematography & Editing are crisp. Music by the under-rated Chirantan Bhatt is melodious.

Performance-Wise: Aftab returns on the screen after a hiatus. He's good, but looks well-fed throughout. Tia is haunting. Vidya Malvade is average. Sharad Kelkar is fair.

On the whole, '1920: Evil Returns' is a spooky watch!

1920 Evil return is a descent watch. With Good picturesque locations , good background score that keeps you glued on the screen. The movie starts on a promising note and leaves the viewers thinking.

Watching this movie is exploring "The Exorcist" of 70's in various scenes when the lead actress gets possessed. Tia Bajpai manages to give a good performance, Aftab looks confused in the entire movie rest of the Actors are ordinary.

OK! we come to the spook part, barring 1 or 2 scenes there is nothing that will give you a chill. If we compare 1920 with the sequel,1920 returns is a huge let down during the climax which is the integral part of the movie.

All said and done still 1920 returns is good watch around Halloween and much better than bhatt's previous venture Raaz 3. Though Vikram Bhatt is not the director of this movie still it has all the characteristics of the bhatt camp

Please try new things in horror rather just serving old wine (The Exorcist ) in a new bottle ( 1920 , 1920 returns ) each time.

This movie was really diabolical one.What do you want to expect from this movie a good plot,horrorness,scary environment,honestly saying that it really ruined the expectations and hopes that people had.This movie continued to torcher me for the time that i spend in the theatre.I thought that this time Vikram Bhatt will do something unexpected but to no avail.Some scenes of this movie were same as there in 1920 like the ghost was knowing the family background of priest.

Honestly,i will say that Jia Khan was far more scary than Tia bajpai.Arjun Rathod was best in acting than the experienced Aftab Shivdsani.I really liked the songs sung by ghost that was something new added to this sequel.

Seeing 1920 brings back memories of B.R chopra's Mahabharat,mainly the portion between Dronacharya and eklavya.With this film Vikram Bhatt again proves that he is a modern day eklavya to the Ramsay brothers who act as his multiple dronacharyas.From the screech in the opening scene (which takes place in a jungle set where the fog machine naturally went on an overdrive) to the hero(a beefy Aftab with an even beefier stubble) strapping a Om printed cloth onto his hand and grabbing the the collar of the evil spirit,Bhatt gives a proper shraddhanjali to the fathers of the Indian horror genre.The film is replete with innumerable clichés from horrific close ups,a homeless villager who can see spirits,secondary characters who get murdered one by one to some forgettable love scenes,but just when it seems that the film is going to sink like the titanic halfway through the runtime,it picks up steam,some interesting back stories are shown and ultimately it hurtles towards a memorable climax.The climax is full of spine chilling moments,the actress Tia bajpai makes up for her careless acting in the 1st half by delivering some gruesome moments with great panache.Ultimately on seeing 1920,you are left with the feeling of savoring a biriyani from a roadside stall,your stomach churns a few time,you have to gulp a few extra glasses of water but ultimately you would be left craving for more.
