Laikals The greatest movie ever made..!
Dorathen Better Late Then Never
Ginger Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
Staci Frederick Blistering performances.
bobbysing An almost full theater for 1920 EVIL RETURNS in a multiplex on the first day itself (also a holiday) clearly proved that there are still enough fans of horror genre, desperately waiting for a good Hindi horror film from long. But unfortunately once again they all are served the same mediocre stuff from the house of Vikram Bhatt, which has got nothing exceptional as associated with the brand of 1920. May be the result is such since this time the unrelated sequel is not directed by Vikram but by the debutant Bhushan Patel, who mainly falters in the opportunity given due to a poor and unconvincing writing.So even when the film gives you some well executed scenes depicting the possessing spirit, it overall fails to impress because of an all predictable, soul-less storyline penned by Vikram Bhatt himself along with Amin Hajee. As a result, 1920 Evil Returns just remains a quick sequel, purely made to en-cash the brand value of both Vikram Bhatt's Horror Cinema and 1920 in this festive season and nothing else. It begins on a confusing note and then continues its uninteresting run till the interval without moving any further as far as the plot is concerned. And then in the second half too it rarely manages to scare you off in its prolonged climax shot well. At times, the scary sequences even turn out to be funny instead of frightening when the ghost starts singing songs and keeps laughing weirdly.With the actual twist in the script unfolding only in its last 40 minutes, the film relies mostly on repetition and unwanted songs which ideally should be strictly avoided in this particular genre. But as per the routine, the director keeps throwing one love song after another at regular intervals into the film and ruins an otherwise decent soundtrack by Chirantan Bhatt including few fine tracks such as "Uska Hi Banana", "Apna Mujhe Tu Laga" & more. Apart from the soundtrack the film also has a fine Cinematography which again gets overshadowed by a loud and annoying background score which sounds the same as Vikram's earlier movies.Moreover 1920 EVIL RETURNS remains a hushed-up project in its performance department too as no particular actor is able to contribute in the film through his acting skill other than Tia playing the lead role of a possessed girl. Both Aftab and Sharad Kelkar fail to impress mainly due to the lackluster roles given to them and Vidya Malvade simply stands wasted. Further the viewer is not able to find any emotional connect with the sufferers on the screen because of a feeble screenplay which neither establishes Love or Fear in its 2 hours of duration.To put it together, after watching 1920 EVIL RETURNS you can easily add the name of Vikram Bhatt in the list of those famous film-makers who have now found a new style of making films on a fixed Template or Pattern. In clear words, after Madhur Bhandarkarand Parkash Jha, here is Vikram Bhatt with his new horror film made on a preset template to win over the audience. Now whether you want to be fooled again or not, the choice is all yours.
kushal ghosh 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.
pingu-hash As the title suggest this movie is quite same as previous 1920, and all other Vikram Bhatt's bhoot flicks. Nothing was new, so many plot holes, worst acting and what not... First there are many things happened in movie that doesn't make any sense and not related to plot in anyway... The main protagonist was not afraid of ghost, that what his acting showed us. No expression on his face till the end. Even small kids were laughing in theater at this crap...Few things I learned from this movie: 1) When you become ghost your General Know. will increase drastically. 2) When any bird set's off from grave, the ghost is about to come, (angry birds?) 3) Ghost can enter any human being and will gain enormous muscle power and even the power of Jean Grey from X-men. 4) Bump 3.3 technology also work to transfer souls just by touching two bodies. and many more...Gosh! Save the humanity from this @#$%%^#$@
Sahil Mittal 1920 Evil Returns---Not Much Too Horror But Pretty Good Just like an unbeaten series of Raaz, Vikram Bhatt is successfully making a franchise of his 2008 hit movie '1920'. As it's a sequel, one would be definitely expecting a better product than the original. Thus '1920 - Evil Returns' should be spookier, horrifying and attention-grabbing, along with an excellent storyline, more than '1920'. However the makers had effectively impressed the moviegoers, especially to the one who have loved the first part....... 6/10Awesome Direction by VIKRAM BHATTPluses:Full of chilling moments, impressive background score, edgy-directionMinuses:Climax is stretched,songs come as lo break Watch it for real jump out of the seat moments
