1920 is a 2008 Indian Hindi-language supernatural horror film written and directed by Vikram Bhatt. Set in the year 1920, the film stars debutant actors Rajneesh Duggal and Adah Sharma as a married couple who move into a haunted manor where the wife gets possessed by an evil spirit. Loosely inspired by the 1973 American horror film The Exorcist, it is the first installment of the 1920 film series, which was a commercial success. The film was also dubbed into Telugu and Tamil, under the title 1920 Gayathri. American entertainment publication Collider has considered it one of the greatest Indian horror films of all time.[2] A sequel, 1920: The Evil Returns, was released in 2012 to mixed reviews and commercial success.
1920 was a huge success in its native India and spawned a franchise that now encompasses four movies, speaking to its palatability as a mainstream horror film.
