Top Cast
1920: Evil Returns is a Bollywood horror film written by Vikram Bhatt and directed by Bhushan Patel. The film is a quasi-sequel to a 2008 film 1920, and stars Aftab Shivdasani, Tia Bajpai and sagar Saikia in the lead roles. The movie is third in a series of quasi-sequels released under the Bhatt Banner including Raaz – The Mystery Continues, Murder 2, Jism 2, Jannat 2 and Raaz 3D each of which had nothing to do with their respective prequels, but somehow fell in the same genre following a similar story. The trailer was released on September 28, 2012. The film released on November 2, 2012 to mixed reception and fared better at the opening Box Office weekend as compared to any other releases that week except Skyfall .
Critic Consensus
Critical reception for '1920: Evil Returns' is largely negative to mixed, with most reviewers finding it derivative and unoriginal. A handful of critics acknowledged that the film generates some genuine scares, particularly in its second half, and benefits from its association with Vikram Bhatt's horror brand. However, the predominant criticism is that the film relies on familiar horror tropes, suffers from weak writing, and offers nothing new to the genre. At least one critic found it outright bland and cold, with little to recommend.
