#HINDI 1920 EVIL RETURNS MOVIE#
If the movie manages to scare you even one bit, it is definitely due to Tia Bajpai. It is in the second half that the movie manages to redeem itself slightly, with a decently engaging story and a good-though-slightly-long-drawn climax. If one scene is set in the morning with some boring dialogues or songs, the next scene is invariably set in the night with some scary event - this pattern repeats all through the first half. The first scare in the movie is pretty frightening, but after that, the film runs in a completely predictable pattern until the interval. The rest of the film is about how Jaydev defeats the spirit and how true love triumphs.ġ920 - Evil Returns takes off in a pretty ho-hum manner, with the entire first half devoted to giving us a few cheap thrills. Jaydev finds her unconscious on the banks of a river, and takes her home, but does not know her past. When Smriti finally musters up the courage to meet Jaydev, the spirit shows itself and causes an accident due to which she loses her memory. Not wanting her lover to pine for her, Smriti lets Jaydev think that she is dead. However, Smriti is possessed by a ghost that does not allow her to meet Jaydev. The pair has never seen each other, but has fallen in love through letters. The story of the movie is about Jaydev Varma (Aftab Shivdasani) and his love interest Smriti (Tia Bajpai). Whether it was to approve of the original scene in the first film, or whether it was because they liked the scene in this one, was slightly hard to tell though. If we apply that as a yardstick, 1920 - Evil Returns can be called a success, since the audience recognized quite a few similar scenes in 1920 and hooted loudly. One of the signs that a franchise has achieved a modicum of success is when a famous scene in one of the movies plays out again and you hear a howl of recognition from the audience.
