Alone

I only decided to watch this movie because Karan Singh Grover was in it and he was really good at his TV shows he is one of the best TV actors I am still his fan but he disappointed me a lot with his horrible acting skills and wooden expression he have proved in the past that he can act very well but don't know what happened in this movie and Bipasha Basu the so called horror Queen of the industry all she did was scream,cry and made out with KSG! There was not a single scary moment in this whole freaking movie just Bipasha Basu wondering in the dark in her night gown! I bet a small child wouldn't be scared i literary fell a sleep during the second half of the movie! Only good thing about this movie was the songs! other than that the whole movie was crappy and total waste of time and patience

Mostly Horror movies and to be specific Bollywood horror movies follow a tried and tested path with a predictable story but what differentiates good Horror movie and Alone is Thrill, chill , Pace , Spookiness and good direction. Screenplay is lousy , Art direction bad , Visual effects Horrible . Direction is also mediocre and on top of that Bipasha Basu's same expression throughout the movie coupled with wooden faced Karan Singh makes it a tiresome watch. Plot about conjoined twins could have been made into a pretty interesting movie but thanks to lousy narration, Bad screenplay interrupted by equally bad songs that makes it an avoidable affair . I will rate it 3 - one for the concept and two for the suspense in climax which of course didn't impact that much as it should have been because movie faltered in every department possible from start to end. AVOIDABLE

Nowadays Bollywood horror movies suffer a lot due to its predicted story line and failed to connect audience of today's generation. If we keep rest of the movie just concentrate on movie "Alone" same thing goes with it. As we know every movie is divided into three sections- beginning, middle and ending. Here, comes first foul in the beginning of the movie tarot card reader informs Sanjana that something lost thing of her will going to come soon. So, we can easily predicate that something wrong had happen with Bipasha Basu. That's what the rest of the story. Screenwriter failed to make a grip of suspense for audience. Like every horror movies in beginning ghost try to kill the hero till the interval film has already reached to its climax then back- story revealed and then attempt are being made to kill a ghost. The whole pattern is same for this movie "alone" The whole film is merely entertaining and scary. Many English dialogs ruin the Desi pattern. There are many repeated scene where Sanjana sleep on her bed ghost arrived we have already seen such scene in many Indian horror movies and audience well remembered the movie called "Hawa" in that movie Tabu was lead actress. I think this might be a reason why our Indian audiences prefer to watch Hollywood horror movie since its serve something new and different. Let's talk about the Exorcist, Grudge, The Conjuring the latest where we see that possessed ghost come out from the cupboard. So, something new feed to the audiences they love them, it does not mean feed anything but it is responsibility of screenplay writer to develop the sensible scene. That's hit inside audiences mind. A worst part of it, there was a scene where we see that Anjana room has been locked for many years after her death which is very common. I remember one of viewer says this room definitely going to be unlocked and her ghost will come out. See how it is easy to estimate story line, well this obvious affect other viewer later they show lack interest in that movie. Kissing scenes are injected forcefully I think just to attract mass audience especially B grade movie goers. Also, the middle of movie clearly indicated that triangle love story is going on. In the end, the same happens: sister kills sister for love. A sister's ghost comes to take revenge. After interval the movie goes very fast, unnecessarily. Last scene was torture rather than emotional. First, twist reveal it was Sanjana kills Anajana but the second twist confuse audience when Anajana confess killing of Sanjana. I remember when I was in lift I heard one of audience says if director had given permission to extend the movie might he would suppose to turn the story line by Anajana to Sanjana and whole circle go on. Oops I forget to mention that one thing about the movie to be enjoyed that's the only thing the music. This movie does not deserve anything if you want to spend nice time with your girlfriend than go and take her because you can make her laugh by funny ghost.

I am a big fan of bollywood horror films and I watch a lot of horror films but sad this was nowhere near a horror film.

Although a remake of 2007 Thai film of same name, the execution is simply awful in case this Hindi film. At no point I felt scary or I can say it hardly had any scary moments.

Director Bhusan Patel whose last film Ragini MMS 2 also suffered from same problem but that film was at least enjoyable. This film is really stupid, hardly any logic was maintained and some kissing scenes failed to bring any excitement.

Only Bipasha looked descent, but her role as a ghost was literally poor. She neither has the charm anymore. Debutante Karan Singh Grover needs to learn acting rather than flaunting his body. Other casts are of nothing special. Only katra and awara songs were nice in this otherwise 133 minute nonsense.

So don't watch it even you are alone. Stay far...very far away.

When a Bollywood horror movie releases, one keeps no expectations. Because it will either be a remake of a foreign film or some experimental claptrap. With Alone, Bhushan Patel tries to churn out a story told a million times (through its original Thai film, numerous South Indian remakes, Agatha Christie's original novel, etc.) using a terrible cast and poor production design.

Anjana & Sanjana (Bipasha Basu) are conjoined twins from Kerala (what?). When a boy (Karan Grover) enters their lives and gets attracted to one of them, all hell breaks loose. The story is unfathomably idiotic. While one allows a horror movie to go illogical at times so as to suit its rhythmic story, this one goes out of bounds and dances in its boundaries mocking its audience on an astronomic level. While the original novel and the film both were good enough for few thrills, its millionth iteration is nothing short of nonsense.

Bipasha Basu maybe getting more voluptuous year by year, but her acting skills have hardly had any improvement, if not deterioration. She is so bad at screaming, crying, being frightened, sleeping, emoting, terrorizing, and even kissing that it gets annoying just after 30 minutes. The débutante Karan Grover should be made to watch this nightmare in a theater in a loop until he gets flustered by his own awful acting. Grover can be best described as a piece of wood, which will not show any emotions even if burned.

The film has poor lighting, which may have been purposely done so as to make audience believe that it is a horror movie that they are watching and so they are not allowed to laugh. The climax tries to resurrect the whole shindig but ends up sabotaging it with gimmicky twists and flashbacks. There is not a single sequence that one can enjoy. And let me not talk about the screenplay.

The film would sweep the Razzie Awards 2015 if it were held in India, with accolades for Worst Acting, Worst Director, Worst Screenplay, Worst Production Design, Worst Special Effects, Worst Score, Worst Editing and maybe Worst Picture, too. Such is its degree of dreadfulness that I am forced to rate Patel's third feature a perfect 1 out of 10. It has all the reasons for an average moviegoer to skip it.

BOTTOM LINE: Lets all welcome the first flop of 2015 with unfolded hands and slap it back to where it came from: an abyss of Bollywood rubbish.

Can be watched with a typical Indian family? NO
