The film is a quasi-sequel to a 2008 film 1920, second of the 1920, and stars Aftab Shivdasani, Tia Bajpai, Vidya Malvade and Sharad Kelkar in the lead roles. Word of mouth - 1920 evil returns will scare you out of the theatre that is if you are brave enough to enter one.1920: The Evil Returns is a 2012 Indian horror film written by Vikram Bhatt and directed by Bhushan Patel. We are still searching for a filmmaker who gives this genre the respect that it deserves. The Ramsay's got it right for that generation. T.V actor Sharad Kelkar makes his Hindi film debut with this film and makes you wonder why did he choose this film? Sample this, a doctor tells Aftab and Tia " xray se hum insaan ke aks ko dekh sakte hain". Since the film is set in the 1920's somewhere close to Shimla but shot abroad you get to hear some minor gems as dialogues. Getting scared is least of your worries by then. The pace picks up in the 2nd half but by that time you are so bored looking at Aftab and Tia that you just twiddle your thumbs and wait for your misery to end. The overuse and abuse of background music shatters your ear drums but then it was expected in a film like this. Till then cinematographer turned director Bhushan Patel bores us with a depressive Aftab Shivdasani (why did he return?) and the forever scared Tia Bajpai. Smriti (Tia Bajpai) is possessed by an evil spirit (who loves the smell of perfume) but we get to see the effect of her possession only after interval point. The only common theme between both the films is that it is about a woman possessed. This one is produced by him and is a sequel in spirit (pun not intended) to 1920 (2008) which was directed by him and is the only horror film of his which I liked. Since the time Vikram Bhatt tasted success in this genre with Raaz (2002) he has kept on making horror films. which is a good thing only if they would get it right. Vikram Bhatt and Ram Gopal Varma are hell bent on keeping the horror genre alive in Hindi films. Review 1920 - Evil Returns & earn 20 DM Points.* Review Submit
