SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
Brennan Camacho
Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

Just 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! :))

Its not a good movie, its just better than any other Indian horror in the past. Bollywood industry really bad at making horror stuff, they are just good in making romance, drama and comedy. But you know you need to explore a lot of genre to become well-known in this tough industry. I wonder why bollywood horror movie always call Bipasha to become the "Scream Queen", she always do the same thing actually just like in "Raaz", heavy emotional & stuff. A lot of critics bash this movie terribly, but I think they just took this movie too serious. For me, what makes a good horror movie is a "working scare trick". It works on me, I cover my eyes a lot of time to avoid the ghost. Even though I've watch all James Wan, Ju-On, The Ring movie, I'm still feeling scared from "ALONE"'s cheap trick. I know there is a lot of plothole in this movie, and the twist too looks like inappropriate and cliché. But, its still works in some kind of safe way. If you expect so much from bollywood industry in horror, you sure will be disappointed but if you just want some quite a fun scary movie. I think its OK. I'm being lenient to give this movie 7/10 though, from my critical view it should be around 4-6 but its OK, good development from bollywood by the way.

Okay forget about a good story backed by believable acting. All I expected to at least have few good scares when I was sitting through this humdrum which was such a mind numbing experience. The Horror genre in Bollywood has never been much innovative. We always get to see the same recycled thrash with recent trend being making remakes of some regional horror movies of other countries. This one based on a Thai horror movie with same name, which has been already remade in Tamil and Kannada. OK, its adapted material still it could have been at least watchable with good direction and pacing. But, Alone is void of any suspense or tense build-up which I believe the essence of any horror movie. The overdrawn climax filled with banality of flashbacks which seems a bit intriguing compared to rest of the film, at closer look opens up glaring plot holes in the whole script.The plot revolves around conjoined twin sisters Sanjana & Anjana (Bipasha Basu) and the man they both fall for same man Kabir (Karan Singh Grover). But it seems Kabir only loved Sanjana before he went of to London for studies. Well all this is past though, in present day Kabir and Sanjana are married. Anjana had died in some accident when they had surgery to separate themselves. The romance in the plot simply is blank and loathed with over the top kissing(more like eating). There seemed to be no characteristic highlight of Sanjana that made Kabir love her and not her sister, after all they both looked the same. OK leave it, coming back to the story all the characters' native place was Kerala where all the incident of Anjana's death had happened. After her mother falls ill and is in hospital, Sanjana and Karan come to Kerala to her mother's house. No guessing what will happen next with them in the house. All of this almost takes 45 minutes of the run time which could have been easily done in 15 minutes. Again forgetting that boring wait, I was ready to be spooked by the ghost haunting them in the house. Apart from 1 or 2 moments, which were nothing more than cheap jump-scares consisting of sudden loud noise there is nothing scary. The same creaky noises, doors opening, piano playing on its own are used. There is also a local housemaid and her daughter-in-law just to add more characters to the screenplay apart from the 2 lead. Both talk to each other in Hindi despite being from Kerala. Towards.Towards the end we also have a Tantrik Baba with all his ho- hum and suddenly he is gone telling that the ghost is still residing somewhere in the house. They still stay there, so that we would witness a twisty climax thinking we would leave cinema surprised. Alas! The ending did not make any sense at all considering the ghostly behaviors throughout the film. No spoilers. Anyways I hardly cared as the wheels had already worn out by then.The whole house and the surrounding shots supposed to be scary were unoriginal and uninspiring. Apart from the twist the flow is monotonous. Then again, not only we have to withstand the illogical twists and turns, but also the bad acting of it two leads. Karan Singh Grover's debut is a misfire with his wooden expressions. While, Bipasha does the same bland screaming, crying and such stuff, nothing new from her forgettable other's like Creature,Aatma,Raaz 3,etc. The characters are mostly one-dimensional lacking any motive. There are many small things and holes which I am too tired to touch upon. The length of the film really makes it a boring experience, its not even so bad that it will make you laugh. No it does not have that angle, takes itself too seriously. Director Bhushan Patel's previous 1920 Evil Returns and Ragini MMS 2 sucked and he does nothing different here. Above all that, the most annoying things where the songs. I can bear a bit romance along with horror but romantic songs? what the hell?!?! That too 4 of them.Neither they were refreshing nor hummable. Thus, nothing works in Alone and there was not once I felt it was entertaining. Literally waste of time. Terrible direction, acting, screenplay and cinematography. Forget quality of those elements, actually they are absent.Another bad film at the start of 2015 after 'Tevar'. Bipasha Basu must stop with here horror-love , actually Bollywood should give the genre a break. Being neither scary nor funny, Alone is one of the worst horror films I have ever seen. Forget horror, this is probably down into one of the worst ever films I have watched. Highly avoidable.RATING:[0.5/5]

ALONE - For those who doesn't want to know much about this movie i can say one line as quick review - I think Bipasa Basu has been Hypnotized by any ghost to do such bad Horror movies with such bad acting , and she should not just stop doing Horror genre rather should leave Bollywood industry altogether if in future also she is gonna act like this. After reading the above quick review if still there are some people who wants to know more about the movie i will try to write something because i am not getting much to write anything about this. Seriously how can you elaborate a description about a garbage , that's difficult . So here is the plot which the trailers have shown , Sanjana and Anjana were two sisters , born together physically joint with each and they both love each other so much that they promise themselves that they will never get separated. But one of the sister (Sanjana) falls in love with a boy whom the other sister (Anjana) have also started to love mainly because of Jealousy . So Sanajan decided to get separated and in the operation table Anjana could not survived. After so many years when Sanjana came back to his home with his husband due to illness of her mother Anjana's ghost also came back to take revenge . Now that's quit a decent plot to make a horror movie. Actually the script was nice as its a remake of Thai Horror film with the same name which i haven't seen. But guess who is the directer - Bhusan Patel . For me he is a really bad director at least to direct a horror movie. He has already made two crap sequels to two really nice movies (1920 Evil returns and Ragini mms 2). His movies are to get laugh , u never get scared in Bhusan Patel's movies. Same goes for Alone , there are a lot of unintentional comic scenes which will make you laugh out loud . And yes there are two or three good scary scenes too but already shown in the trailers. Then again there are unsituational songs(thank god only 2 and a half songs are there) , good cinematography(although i am disappointed because the environment was not too scary) , a pshycatrist friend , a servant doing Puja Paat , Tantrik Baba etc which we see in all horror movies. I don't actually want to say anything about the acting department because our hero and heroin are too busy in showing their biceps and legs respectively , so they must have forgotten about acting , i am gonna take this as an excuse . About the chemistry , its very good because in the intimate scenes both of them are not kissing each other but literally eating each other. And for last there are 2 big reveals in the movie which are too predictable. I'm sorry for this because you may call it a spoiler but i want to explain the best comedy scene from the movie. When the ghost was doing bad jobs by scaring Sanjana her look was scary , burnt body with white eyes, but when the same ghost was doing a good job by helping our hero she appears as an angel , looks like Indian ghosts change there looks with the type of job they are doing. 3.5/10 , cant give more then that.
