Too much of everything
... View MoreIt's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.
... View MoreI didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.
... View MoreThis movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
... View MoreJust watched it!! I was very nervous because of mixed reviews KSG got, but man o man BOLLYWOODHUNGAMA, komal nahta, indiatv, boxofficeindia etc. are spot on about how good KSG is! His acting was really good! Bips was brilliant too! They were just let down by a not so great movie!! I loved the performances and it was a good watch!! But don't understand why these actors and directors promote the movie with fake hopes! 'Be ready to be spooked' 'it is a very hot movie' neither the movie was hot neither the movie was spooky! KSG and bips shared one love making scene and a few kisses in Katra katra! Jism was way hotter in comparison! Raaz which is a 14yr old movie spooked me 15 times more than this movie! The movie is a let down but the performances are definitely not! The songs and the exposure KSG got is not! So I am extremely glad he signed this movie! I loved his acting and am proud to be his fan! He has equal screen space to bips and had good scope to perform! It was a good watch, and it was entertaining! But I can see why a non-fan would be disappointed in the movie! The movie does not offer what was promoted! Performances 4/5! Direction/screenplay 2/5, overall 6/10! p.s. very proud to see KSG in a movie with Bipasha Basu and owning the character! Nice! Another major achievement to his list of achievements as an actor! :))
... View MoreNowadays 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.
... View Moreyes . It is a copy of conjuring . most of the scary scenes are copied from conjuring . thats absurd ,the white cloth on Bipasa bas face copied from conjuring and mostly whole ghost makeup was a big copy the conjuring !and also its a big copy of Thailand's movie alone emotional scenes are boring. the songs were OK OK . but what disappointed mi was the COPY OF SCENES FROM CONJURINGFinally its a big boring film with nothing new and only romance scenes.. Bipasha Basu roams about in negligees and shorts, and tries very hard, but is altogether too FAILED to pull off a scare.
... View MoreAs a fan of horror genre, I have always been curious to watch different kinds of spine-chilling and spooky films. I was not expecting much from Alone as the director previously made Ragini MMS 2 and 1920 Evil Returns. After watching Alone, I was not scared at all.Alone tells the story of love and betrayal between a conjoined twin who have been bonded forever until Kabir arrives in their lives which separates them forever,Bhushan Patel does well in borrowing scenes from Hollywood horror flicks and embedding them with desi masala with dose of typical Bollywood narration and unnecessary inclusion of songs that will leave you unsatisfied. In fact, the movie will remind you of early 80's Ramsay' classics like Purana Mandir and Veerna which had C- grade actors ,unconvincing blazing lights, big-old broken house. Screenplay is weak. Cinematography is bad. Art direction is worst. Editing is loose. But they are few moments to keep you engaged. Only silver lining is the storyline and commendable performance by Bipasha Basu. Karan Grover was wooden in terms of acting. Overall, a bad film in every context. Avoid at any cost. Below average 1.5 /5
