1920 is a 2008 Indian horror film written and directed by Vikram Bhatt. Filmed in Hindi, the film revolves around the events surrounding a married couple living in a haunted house in the year 1920. The film stars debutant actors Rajneesh Duggal and Adah Sharma as the married couple. The film was also dubbed into Telugu as 1920 Gayathri.
The film opens in the year 1920 at Palampur, India. An architect arrives at a large haveli (manor house). The manager of the haveli, MK, discusses how the owner of the haveli wishes to have it torn down and have a hotel constructed in its place. Later that night, the architect hears strange sounds, and when he goes out to investigate, he is killed by a mysterious force. It turns out the architect who was engaged before him was killed in a similar manner some time ago.
The film introduces another architect, Arjun Singh. Arjun is religious (he recites the Hanuman Chalisa every day) and devoted to his family; but he is also in love with Lisa. This meets strong disapproval from his family because Lisa (born of a British father and an Indian mother) is of mixed faith. Arjun decides to marry Lisa anyway. As he travels to Mumbai, his father and his brothers intercept his car, beat him up and try to burn Lisa alive. Arjun fights back and decides to disavow his faith (and thus, his family) for Lisa. He ultimately becomes an architect.
A devotee of Bhagwan Shri Hanuman, Arjun Singh Rathod is in love with Lisa, a Christian, who was sired by an Indian mother and Caucasian father, runs into problems with his father, who wants him to marry a Hindu. He decides to break all ties with his family, both turn atheist, get married, and re-locate to live in 1920s Bombay. The duo then re-locate to renovate a mansion in Palanpur. Shortly after their arrival Lisa suspects that there is something odd about a particular room in the mansion but Arjun dismisses this. He will soon regret this, as well of forsaking their respective religions, after he finds Lisa possessed by what appears to be a demonic and seemingly invincible male entity.

Way out, held up under Western Sky
I guess I need to say it aloud
Or I'm afraid that I'll regret
Pretty soon boys, we'll all go our own way
But for now all we need are good friends
Cold nights we will not forget
My brother's home in the darkness
Oh I remember how she was still
It haunts me in my evenings
Where will this set me in the stars?
And I believe that you belong to someone else
It's not what you say, but more the weight in your voice
She smiles and rolls her eyes and
In the darkness says she don't desire him no more
When he comes around
Woo-hoo-hoo
Get up, get up kid
Don't give up the fight
Get up, get up kid
Don't you dare forget me
Get up, get up
Way out, held up under Western Sky
I guess I need to say it aloud
Or I'm afraid that I'll regret
Pretty soon boys, we'll all go our own way
But for now all we need are good friends
Cold nights we will not forget
And way out, held up under Western Sky
I guess I need to say it aloud
Or I'm afraid that I'll regret
Pretty soon boys, we'll all go our own way and
But for now all we need are good friends
