What 6 critics are saying
Critical reception for '1921' is largely negative, with most reviewers finding little to recommend. The film's horror elements fail to generate genuine scares, and several critics specifically call out weak performances and an overabundance of similar-sounding songs as significant drawbacks. One reviewer noted tonal inconsistency, with the film veering between unintentional comedy and attempted suspense. Only one scored review offered a cautiously moderate rating, and even that stopped short of an endorsement.

4.0If you plan to watch this movie keeping in mind 1920, a disclaimer for you this is nowhere near to Vikram Bhatt's first and best film of this franchise. You are in for a roller coaster ride with this film, 1921.Where on one end you might find yourself gasping for breath on the other end you might not stop yourself from giggling at times.

4.0While Bhatt has managed to piece together the disjointed ends of his extremely laborious story, and there is a climax that one did not expect, it already too late. With the number of songs in the film, which all sound the same, '1921' is more of a horror-musical. Even if you are weak-hearted, this one will not scare you for too long.

3.0A fellow audience member described it best: It's like an onion—you cry as you peel it and you can keep peeling it and keep crying, but you can also stop at any time.

If you were aware of 1921, my sympathies. If you weren't, the ignorance is indeed bliss.

Vikram Bhatt's 1921 is so extraordinarily bad despite being lavishly produced that even the actors find it difficult to enact their characters, which is very much evident from their dull faces and duller dialogue delivery. TN.
