A ghost comes out of the locket and possess Veer. Without knowing Veer is possessed, Shivangi admits Veer in a hospital. Veer's body begins to contort unnaturally and Veer begins growling in strange languages. The doctors seem to diagnose it as tetanus, which is incurable. Shivangi's handmaiden, Kesar Ma, deems it as black magic. As the doctors are unable to save Veer, Shivangi visits her family in Rajasthan. Shivangi and her family visit an exorcist to remedy Veer's condition. The exorcist attempts to confront the ghost by entering the other realm through a mirror but is soon expelled, being too weak to confront the ghost. The exorcist ask Shivangi's family to visit Mewar Baba whose real name is Jai Singh Gujjar. Some years ago, Shivangi was deeply in love with Jai. Rana saw Shivangi and Jai together and attempted to misbehave with Shivangi but Jai intervened. Rana reports Shivangi and Jai's relationship to Shivangi's father. Jai was charged with attempted murder and Shivangi testifies against Jai. Jai was then sentenced to prison for five years. Shivangi meets and pleads with Jai to help Veer. Jai finally agrees to go to London. Jai investigates the matter and discovers that Veer's troubles began upon receiving the strange locket. Jai proves about the possession to the doctors and the doctors agree to discharge Veer. At Veer's house, Jai makes Shivangi into reciting a spiritual chant to bind the spirit and Jai throws the locket into the Thames River. It is revealed that the locket was actually sent by Jai to get revenge on Shivangi for Jai's false imprisonment. Jai pretends to help but continues to inflict more pain to Shivangi. Shivangi confronts Jai about knowing the source of the locket and Jai admits everything to Shivangi. Shivangi reveals to Jai that Shivangi's father would have killed Jai if Shivangi did not agree to falsely imprison Jai. After hearing the truth, Jai agrees to help. Jai traps the ghost in a bottle and buries the bottle in a graveyard but the ghost escapes and attacks Jai. Jai meets and asks help from his Guru. Jai's guru regretfully says that the ghost will not leave without taking a soul. Jai's guru directs Jai to an abandoned church where Jai and Shivaangi receive a pair of knives. Jai enters the other realm through a mirror. The ghost attacks Jai which also affects the real world. Jai recovers the locket and throws the locket to Shivangi through the mirror. Jai smashes the mirror to close the portal which traps Jai in the other realm. Shivangi burns the locket which destroys the ghost and Veer comes back to normal. Shivangi sees Jai smile peacefully from a shard of the mirror before the shard breaks. After two weeks, Veer and Shivangi find the letter from Jai. Jai had offered Jai's soul so Veer could be freed.

Mohar Basu of The Times of India gave the film 1/5 stars and wrote,"There isn't an inkling of innovative thinking in the third installment of the 1920 series. The best thing that can be said about it is that it will remain one of the year's funniest films".Basu Mohar 1920 London Movie Review http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/hindi/movie-reviews/1920-London/movie-review/52149079.cms?from=mdr The Times of India 6 May 2016 4 November 2023 https://web.archive.org/web/20231104043934/https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/hindi/movie-reviews/1920-London/movie-review/52149079.cms?from=mdr live Manjusha of Gulf News gave 1.5/5 to the film and wrote,"Vikram Bhatt exhausts every cliché that has been regurgitated in Bollywood love stories. Corny dialogues such as "we will live together and die together" and sappy songs with lovers dancing around in picturesque locations will make you nauseous. While the first few scenes in which evil spirit unleashes her fury are startling, it gets tiring" May 2016.
