1920 (2008)
one of the best horror movies in India
if you think raaz and bhoot and bhool bhulaiya were good.. you must watch 1920 to see what is fantastic! the direction is excellent. 1920 is a cinematic treat!
its definitely the best horror movie made in India. the lead actress Adah Sharma is brilliant beyond words. watch the movie for a lesson on acting.the first half of the movie you wont be able to predict what she is capable of doing in the second half!her sheer strength and change of expression(the scene where she laughs and cries and laughs again is eerie) i didn't sleep for nights. also the makeup is phenomenal(the black possessed lenses and the cuts and bruises on her face)
the piano piece is haunting. i don't want to give the story away at all.but the entire film rests on the very strong shoulders of the lead actress who is the hero of the film. she is vulnerable, shes wicked, shes adorable and terrifying.and her beauty dates back to the 1920's.
the events that take place after intermission keep you glued to your seat.
1920 is a television favourite. plays on at least once a week.but try watching it on DVD as the scary scenes are deleted on TV.
Phhir (2011)
was leaked out online before release
phhir is actually a very good movie. but now a days since the hype that surrounds the release is more important this movie didn't get what it deserved. due to a poor release it suffered.
the pair of Rajneesh Duggal and Adah Sharma were seen before in 1920. but in 1920 it was Adah who was the hero, here it is Rajneesh. he is sadly incapable of holding the entire film together.
Like critics put, (taran adarsh) the portions featuring Adah are very interesting. sadly she is only a special appearance in the film. but she steers the story every where till you reach an extremely unpredictable climax. the other performances are lack lustre and she comes out being the only character you remember.
the London locations are beautifully shot. the costumes are very good.
watch the movie only if you are an Adah Sharma fan.
spoiler alert : she is not possessed in the film and the film isn't a horror movie
