1920: Evil Returns
This story revolves around a famous poet who meets a woman who is in trouble. In order to treat her, he takes her to Shimla in a big hospital, but soon that woman gets possessed by devil and goes out of control. Now the question remains that what is the relation that poet shares with her which compelled him to go to any extent to save her, why she was possessed by devil and who is the devil.
Why it matters
A Bollywood supernatural thriller that blends gothic possession tropes with eerie period atmosphere, delivering a moody, if familiar, haunted-house experience.
- Leaning heavily on possession and demonic folklore, it channels classic Indian horror’s fascination with spiritual dread and cursed pasts.
- The Shimla setting adds foggy, isolated chills—practical sets that evoke a colonial-era haunted asylum vibe.
- Performances are earnest if uneven, with the poet’s obsession adding a psychological layer beneath the supernatural.
- For fans of international horror curiosities and Bollywood’s take on genre staples, it’s a worthwhile if flawed dive into devilish possession.
