the moderator does not report abuse. other users in the blog do the reporting. so, there is no point in cursing the moderator,is there? i don't know which msg of urs was reported fr abuse, but if u use swear words, others might find it offensive and report it.
Film was ok in the first half maintaining some horror and suspense.
Some how like most Indian films, climax is unconvincing - and even gets you laughter at times.
The Lead actor - so called HERO has to improve on his acting skills. Heroine was ok (may be the characterisation is confused). The Second Heroine in flashback again is a blank face.
The cinematography is good with rich quality on the screen.
Over-all its movie with less substance. My Maximum Rating shall be 2.

1920 is the tale of a young couple Arjun (Rajneesh Duggal) and Lisa (Adah Sharma), who land up at an ancient but magnificent mansion, which Arjun, an architect, has to get broken down and reconstructed into a hotel. However, from the day they land in the desolate leviathan of an edifice, Lisa starts feeling uneasy. And hearing things. And feeling things. And, soon, seeing things. And by the time Arjun discovers her gleefully relishing the raw intestines and the fresh blood of a cat she’s just killed, it’s too late.
Or maybe it’s not too late yet. The Devil gives them 4 days to entertain Him with a fight. Only, it’s the year 1920, there are no planes, no cars and no Google, and 4 days is awfully short.
You know, it’s scary sitting here and typing, since it involves thinking all of that all over again.
In the horror genre, 1920 will easily be the film to better for filmmakers for a long time. The movie scares you, in a theatre with 400 others, and this writer doesn’t really scare too easy. Debutante Adah Sharma delivers a performance, as a loving wife, as a possessed woman, and as the Devil with a pant-wetting sense of humour, that should rank up there in sheer density of power. She’s so good, she can retire now – she’s at the peak of her career.

It’s easy to say 1920 is inspired by The Exorcist – it is, in scenes such as the drawer opening and closing by itself, and the levitation above the bed – but if you put your mind to it, how does it matter? If you’ve even seen The Exorcist, you’ll realize it’s not as much about the theme as the dialogues and the execution (when asked why, if He is the Devil, He can’t untie the knots binding Him, The Devil replies, “Now that would be too vulgar a display of power.”). And that is where 1920 does it for you – in dialogues and execution. Sure, the Devil in 1920 doesn’t really match up to that in The Exorcist in sheer IQ, but that’s really no sin – He’s still much smarter than everyone you hate, and with the chutzpah of raw power fully intact. And yes, He can make small talk.
1920 appears to lose it on political correctness towards the end – we’ll stay out of it here, just as we are staying out of pointing out logical fallacies (and looking for logical fallacies in a horror film?). For, 1920 was made to thrill. And you can’t dispute it does.
Hopefully, the paisa vasool is over in the theatre for you. For, we humans also come with a concept feature called dreams. And the fear of the dark.
