Review by: Manisha Lakhe - NOWRUNNING
Dimpled Rajasthani prince is suddenly possessed by an evil spirit that makes him contort horribly. Wifey goes back to her home state where cardboard cutout Royal family takes her to priest. It's black magic! The only guy who can save her husband is her ex boyfriend. Or can he? The movie starts out to be interesting then goes through an entire checklist of horror movie cliches until you are weary...

Review by: Shalini Langer - The Indian Express
Hats off for at least the ambition — and there are plenty of those to doff, this being early England and all. Few films, fewer still with the limited scale of a Vikram Bhatt horror, swing as frequently between 1920 London and 1920 “somewhere in Mewar, Rajasthan” — on streamers no less. An infinitesimal number, hopefully, do so chasing an “aatma” that resides in a locket.

Review by: Udita Jhunjhunwala - Firstpost
The story relies on pulling off one major twist, but it's a rather obvious one and once you figure it out the sporadic and half-hearted attempts at grisly, jumpy scares ebb away.This is a drab effort with hardly a shock sandwiched between all the frills, frocks and Rajput finery.Perhaps all the horror there was, has been sucked out of 1920.

Review by: Rachit Gupta - Filmfare
As for 1920 London, the film's strength is the production design with it's fancy English locations and authentic vintage cars on offer. The usual characteristics of a horror film, like eerie music, make-up, special effects and moody cinematography are all lackluster though. If you like genuine thrills you'd have to look away. This one's just for gags.

Review by: Ameet Bhuvan - Desimartini
The only hilarious part is the firang doctor and his expression when he is demonstrated the power of a ghost in his hospital. That alone is worth the ticket money. Then again I find happiness anywhere. So be your own judge won't you. Hardly scary , mind numbingly flat and disastrously long, the only thing that died with this movie is the franchise, hopefully for good.
