Yes, you heard that one right. 1920 was not without its flaws, however the storytelling was gripping enough for many to overlook the discrepancies. Fast-forward to 1921. Story-line IS weak. There's nothing in this film that hasn't been seen in a Bollywood film. Core story: Boy meets girl. Love is in the offing. Boy/girl will do anything to save the other..... There is NO complexity in the plot. There is no development of characters and tons of flaws. Side slit dresses of the extras in 1920? Shower? Ballpoint pen? Lamp shades? "Mumbai(really?)"? Printed photographs on the newspapers?
I was watching Knights of the Damned the other day which is an average b-grade flick produced in the UK. One would be in awe of the meticulous detail the producers have striven to achieve for a less-than mediocre film. Viram bhat a veteran, should be ashamed.
