1920 London: Movie Review

JhakaasMovies Staff

Reviews

Directed by Tinu Suresh Desai, 1920 London is the most BAKWAAS horror movie made in recent years. A done to death exorcism story, predictable scenes and terrible acting by the lead actress makes it an agonizingly painful watch.

The Plot:  The Prince and his wife are happily settled in London.  Princess gets a gift from India. The gift has an evil spirit. The evil spirit enters Prince's body. The only person who can save his life is princess' ex boyfriend from India who happens to be a 'Bhoot Bhagao specialist'. Meera Chopra, the princess, travels to India, begs and pleads her former lover to help her. Lover agrees. They travel to London. Suspense time. Audience get a shock and then the director makes the audience go off to sleep.

What's Scary in this movie?   

The only scary part of this movie was Meera Chopra's acting. She scares the audience out of the cinema hall. Her acting is capable enough the frighten our patience, Accompanying her in this field is the Doctor in charge of treating the Prince as also his staff, then the Tantrik lady who understands hindi but speaks in English as she understands the language of the soul. They scare us with their overacting. I was scared every time they delivered their dialogues.

 

CGI Effects?

If pathetic computer generated crows give you spoof, then this one will surely scare you. I haven't come across any horror movie recently with such bad CGI effect. 

 

What's Good in this movie?

The only saving grace of this movie is Sharman Joshi. His acting is still bearable. His demo exorcism scene at the time of his entry in this movie was good though the dialogues were terrible esp the 'Peepal ka payd and sundar ladki'.
