Like every genre of a film, horror films also have their own loyal audience, which waits for them. This film made under the banner of Vikram Bhatt Production, has created a lot of buzz with its release. Vikram Bhatt’s grip on horror films has been very strong. He had earlier given a super hit horror film like ‘Raaz’ which had raised the flag of success in that era. After this Raj, Vikram Bhatt gave horror films like ‘Raaz: The Mystery Continues’, ‘Raaz 3D’, ‘Raaz Reboot’, ‘1920’, ‘Shaapit’, ‘Haunted 3D’, ‘Ghost’, ‘Creature 3D’.
His daughter Krishna Bhatt, has made her directorial debut with the 1920 film Horrors of the Heart, also a horror film for her debut. The film starts with the love affair of Avika Gaur (Meghna) and Danish Pandor (Arjun). Avika Gaur on her 21st birthday, decides to ask her father to marry her off to her boyfriend Arjun (Danish Pandor) as a birthday present. However, something happens after which Meghna’s life falls apart. What follows is suspense and thrills galore. In the film, it is Meghna who conspires against her own mother with the help of her father’s spirit.
Talking of performances, Avika Gaur, has made a solid debut in her first film. Avika has tried to mold every expression in her own intimate style. Danish, who is playing the lead in the film, is unable to show much effect. On the other hand, Rahul Dev and Barkha Bisht have given a new dimension to the film by acting excellently. Ketki Kulkarni too has played a memorable character.
Talking about the songs and music of the film, like in most of the songs of Bhatt productions are good. In this film also you will get to listen to a wonderful melodious lullaby. Puneet Dixit is good. The rest of the background score adds to the suspense of each scene and the accompanying sound effects double the suspenseful thrill of each shot.Overall, the film 1920 Horrors of the Heart is scary and hence worth watching.
