Karan Kundrra gets a bit over the top but has a good screen presence. She is in much better form here than in her last release, AKSAR 2. Zareen Khan gives a fine performance and gets a chance to display her acting prowess. Even the masses, for whom the film is primarily targeted, will give it thumbs down as even they have been watching Hollywood horror films in dubbed versions and they are much ahead than a film like 1921. Vikram Bhatt's direction is ordinary and doesn't bring any novel value. Vikram Bhatt's dialogues are filmy as always. Vikram Bhatt, Tanya Pathak and Esha Desai's screenplay is routine and nothing extraordinary. Once that happens, it turns out to be disappointing as it gets too complex after a point. Vikram Bhatt's story is intriguing till the point that all the cards are not laid out on the table. But things go downhill in the second half. This bit is quite nice and also the intermission point that raises curiosity. There comes a point in the first half when Ayush reveals the truth to Rose by writing a letter and Rose too shares things about her life to Karan in a letter. The romantic track is lackluster and sans any sizzle. Few sequences do give a scare but that's about it. Vikram Bhatt himself has made several such flicks and in that aspect, 1921 doesn't offer anything new. 1921 comes at a time when audiences have in a way seen it all when it comes to stereotypical horror films. What happens next forms the rest of the film.

He asks for her help and Rose readily agrees as Ayush's music has helped her heal old wounds. At this point, he learns about Rose (Zareen Khan) who can communicate with the dead. Ayush is petrified as an evil spirit starts to haunt him. In the ensuing madness, Mehar is accidentally killed. She asks for a private piano session and attempts to seduce him. Wadia's niece Mehar finds out about it and confronts Ayush. In the mansion, he starts having piano sessions where listeners are asked to pay him if they wish. He offers to sponsor Ayush's fees and in return he has to be the caretaker of Wadia Manor in York.

The kind hearted and rich Wadia (Vikram Bhatt) tells him to go to the city of York in United Kingdom to learn music. Ayush (Karan Kundra) is from Mumbai (then Bombay) who plays the piano really well.

1921 deals with a couple's battle with extreme paranormal activities created by a ruthless and cursed spirit.
