1920: Horrors of the Heart

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 They still rely on evil spirit possession to scare 2023 audience when everyone knows it's now an outdated concept.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The films outdated treatment, the unintentionally funny scenes when Aditi gets possessed and finally the climax all bring down this film .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.

It's a horror movie that isn't scary in the least.

First of all- WHERE THE HELL DID THEY SHOOT THIS? I kept wondering during the entire movie- WHY?? Just why didn't they use normal sets anywhere in the movie, like previous 1920 movies? Just to save some money spent on a real set?

Not just the horror scenes, It felt like they shot the entire movie using green screens. Even normal scenes seemed like I am watching some actors move around in a CGI house, a CGI forest, even a CGI Hotel !?!? Who came up with the bad idea of avoiding real sets, that person needs to be fired immediately!

The reason overused CGI made me hate the film is because absolutely nothing in the movie felt real. If shot in a good location, a terrible story can make a movie very watchable.

The best recent example of this being Khamoshiyan. Its story was terrible, but I'd still watch that movie again just for its breathtaking scenes shot in South Africa(and of course the hum-worthy music). What the makers did with this movie feels like a low point of filmmaking in Bollywood.

The songs in this movie were forgettable too, except for the mother's lullaby.

Mahesh Bhatt was one of the writers, I assume he was drunk when he wrote this senseless script.

Only Rahul Dev, Avika Gor and Ketaki Kulkarni seemed to be taking their work seriously. Barkha Bisht sure looks beautiful but her expressions felt wooden. Avtar Gill's and Danish Pandor's acting was as useless as their characters.

In my opinion this is the worst installment in the franchise. Do not waste your time on this movie. Save yourself!

A 2 hr 2 mins torture in the theatre. Krushna Bhatt I request you from my heart please do not direct any other horror film again because you don't know any aspects of how a horror movie should be. Is this even a horror I feel sad for those audience who looking to the posters of this film and considering it a horror whereas this film is a mess and a mixture of 90s horror movies with pathetic vfx and a childish Evil.

Please don't use the hit franchise name and direct some nonsense like this. 1920 has a perfect story with horror elements and compare to the new film, It doesn't have a proper story, boring screenplay, Too overactivity, not a proper cast and many othet mistakes that I don't even wanna count. Mahesh bhatt is considered one of the best story writers in the past but now If this kind of a story he writes then he have to quit writing and take retirement. Because this par below average.

AVIKA GOR is the only thing I like rest is crap. Don't know what else to say.

Please don't even bother to watch this film even for free because this movie will play with your mind and it can give you a major headache.....

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.
