1920: Horrors of the Heart

You can safely assume any positive reviews are paid ones. The movie is ridiculous on all levels including acting and music. It was like watching an overly dramatised Indian soap opera on the big screen. The plot is predictable, the pacing slow and the CGI is the cheapest available. The theatre was empty and the few who came left within the hour. The Bhatt's have done better in the past so this movie was a jarring let down. Even with budget constraints, efforts can be made to strengthen the plot and acting. Rahul Dev and the Bhatts could have stayed away from this one. It's a complete waste of time and money. You can safely skip this one.

The cinematography is bad, screenplay is bad, sound editing and recording is terrible! The audio is clipping and cracking everywhere! The CGI is worst. Overall a disaster.

This ruined the series 1920. This is worst than a school project, it looks like somebody just tried to make a film just because of having access to the film makers! The director has made a mess, this looks like a pretentious scenic video shoot converted as a horror film.

Only the two 1920 versions are better. Rest of them are bad, and this one is purely horrible in each and every aspect, the filming, the story, the sound, the screenplay and the direction.

Guys please save your hard earned money. Worst movie I ever watched in my life. The whole movie was like ekta kapoor's serial, totally baseless scenes. Title: "A Disastrous Delusion: The Worst Movie Experience"

Where do I even begin with this abomination of a movie? "A Disastrous Delusion" is a complete train wreck from start to finish. It's one of those rare instances where you wish you could unsee what you just witnessed.

The plot is convoluted and nonsensical, as if the writers were playing a cruel joke on the audience. Characters appear and disappear without any rhyme or reason, and their motivations are as transparent as a brick wall. There is no depth or development to any of them, leaving you with an overwhelming feeling of indifference.

The dialogue is cringe-worthy at best, filled with clichés, forced humor, and painful attempts at being profound. It's as if the screenwriter ran out of ideas and decided to recycle tired old tropes instead. The wooden delivery by the actors only adds to the agony, making you question their casting choices.

The visual effects are laughably bad, reminiscent of early 2000s B-movies. The CGI is jarring and poorly executed, often taking you out of the already flimsy narrative. It feels like they put more effort into creating eye-catching trailers than in delivering a cohesive visual experience.

The pacing is all over the place, with scenes that drag on for an eternity and others that are abruptly cut short, leaving you disoriented and disconnected from the story. There's no sense of flow or rhythm, and it feels like the editor took a random hack-and-slash approach to the final product.

To make matters worse, the film's soundtrack is uninspiring and forgettable. It fails to evoke any emotion or enhance the scenes, leaving you wondering if they just picked a generic stock score to save time and money.

In conclusion, "A Disastrous Delusion" is a catastrophic mess of a movie. From the lackluster plot and poor character development to the abysmal visual effects and forgettable soundtrack, it fails to deliver on every level. Save yourself the agony and skip this cinematic disaster.

Let's begin with a fact. 1920 now is the first hindi franchise in india to have 5 films in it even before bigger franchises like golmaal or housefull could achieve it . But it comes at what cost?

1920 started as a franchise that promised really good horror . The first film is still remembered for Rajneesh Duggal reciting the entire Hanuman chalisa to fend off the spirits . The second film of Aftab was again based on possession, but had a nice sweet story in it. Then onwards, the franchise went from bad (1920 London ) to worse (1921) to comedy genre (1920: horrors of the heart).

The problem is that the treatment and concept of these films have not been changed one bit. They still rely on evil spirit possession to scare 2023 audience when everyone knows it's now an outdated concept. Yet again, a spirit willing to take revenge possesses a girl to hurt her mother and all this is aided by Avika Gor who is in the illusion that her father (the spirit) was wronged so she helps her father's spirit to take revenge but the reality is something everyone, even a kid can sense from a light year away .

The films outdated treatment, the unintentionally funny scenes when Aditi gets possessed and finally the climax all bring down this film . The climax my god is so hilarious that it might make you laugh more than an actual comedy films genre. Example: a possessed Aditi in the climax sits on a chair like a king and says " bohot din se safai nahi hua hai, islie itne cockroaches hai" .... I laughed so hard at that scene .

1920 means everything has got to be foggy all around. Why man? Without that fog also horror can be created , it just needs skills that makers don't have. We seriously need someone other than the Bhatt's to understand horror and give this genre new life in India because even the Bhatt's daughter can't do it.

Being a low budget film , the VFX is expected to be low class and it is. One thing i like about Bhatt's is that they tend to give new comers chances but sadly it is in poor films. Avika Gor is no new face . She's one of the most popular faces in TV serial industry but she's not done a Hindi film before I guess so her debut in Bollywood has not been that great although she did show signs of potential in this film.

One thing that 1920 franchise has managed to maintain a standard is it's songs. There are some really good songs in the film. Lori is really beautiful song .

Overall, i feel 1920 should not be stretched any further it's already brought bad name to it's franchise through its previous 2 films and this one takes it even further down . If you do plan to stretch, reinvent the concept of these films please.

Where should I start from ?

I couldn't even complete the entire movie...it was such a pain to my eyes...I really feel sad for Mahesh Bhatt...The downfall of Bollywood is at its peak...I can assure you that even if the movie fails to create horror in your heart, it DEFINITELY will create horror to your eyes and ears and also to your pocket.

I can guarantee you that the vfx of age old THE EPIC series Hatim is way better than this piece of s**t ...

Never In my life I have given reviews but this piece of s**t compelled me to do so...I simply want to say kudos to the makers of the film as even if they terribly failed in making this movie...they have succeeded in giving a pain to the eyes of the audience.
