‘Alone’ – MyView

Alone Theatrical Poster

Well, first of all, do not watch this movie alone, nope, not because you are gonna shit your pants but because this is such a shitty movie you surely want someone to smell it with you!

This is a ditto remake of the movie Alone (2007) but fails to recreate the spine chilling horror which most of the horror loving fans might have come to see. But, people who came to watch Bipasha in skimpy clothes sure had a gala time!

The story revolves around the conjoined twins – Sanjana and Anjana (Bipasha Basu and Bipasha Basu) who promises to stay attached forever but decides to split out of jealousy and insecurity of loving the same man, Kabir (Karan Singh Grover) and one of them dies and haunts the other; you will know if you have seen the trailer itself. But if you have seen the trailer, then that’s pretty much to it! All the horror scenes are already revealed in the trailer then why would spend your 2 hours and 13 minutes that you will never get back! why? Why? WHY? Yes, that haunts me!

Not to repeatedly point out, the same kinda make up, the same kinda haunted house, the same kinda ghastly housekeeper, the kala jaadu and typical hindi horror movie scenes.

So Sanjana receives a phone call the exact same moment she delivers her dialogue that she doesn’t want to go to Kerela; irony much or deja vu? Anyways, they go to Kerala, the ghost (Anjana) is not pleased, of course and haunts her sister, gets in her body, romances the hot-bod Kabir, exorcism occurs, revelation of plot twists – that Sanjana is Anjana and bleh, both the sisters are dead, end of story!

Furthur classifying, the first half of the movie deals with the ghost sister juggling her twin sister and I will not be exaggerating but the entire theater laughed whenever there was a ghost on the screen. “Oh look! the ghost sister, bwaaaaaaaahahahaha!”. And the second half of the movie just deals with the flashing of the hot bodies unnecessarily! I know it will not be the first time with Bollywood, but the songs were abrupt and forcefully squeezed in the scenes!

Oh! the acting, please don’t get me started on that! I strongly feel that Bipasha should not jump into the horror genre just because she has Raaz in her pocket! Karan Singh Grover needs to brush up on his acting skills as well. The chemistry was pathetic between the duo, I mean two sugar cubes in my tea have a better chemistry than them!

So altogether, if you wanna see a horror movie this week, I would suggest please stick to your own movie list. You ain’t getting any horror strokes outta this one!

A Letter to myself

Dear 24 year old me,

First of all, a very Happy  Birthday to you! I know your birthday was yesterday, but people are still celebrating it in some parts of the world. So, Happy Birthday. Now that you are about to start a whole new year, I would like to part some knowledge to you.

Make memories.
Say Yes. Take chances. Act weird. Do random shit. Make memories. There should be a whole set of new stories to narrate!

Love the people back.
There would always be people who will love you no matter what. Love them back. Don’t take their love for granted because sometimes that’s all you got.

Seize opportunities.
Don’t just lay back and look at the ceiling. Spot an opportunity, grab it, sit on it and never let it go. It’s quite possible you might regret it but it’s always better to regret it than never experience it at all!

Take selfies.
While you make those memories, take selfies. Let people judge you. Alone selfies, selfies with friends, selfies with building, be creative! The entire world is your stage, pose with every goddamn thing!

You are deeper than your clothes.
People will judge. They will always do and you are not what you wear! You are much much deeper than that. Find yourself. Stick to it.

Remember your old friends.
They are still a part of your amazing stories. Remember them.

Make new friends.
Get new stories.

Get drunk.
It’s fine to get sloshed once in a while! Get drunk.

Listen.
Not just sound, music and words. Listen what’s inside you. The wordless speech. They call it a gut feeling for a reason.

Comfort zone.
Well, get out of it! Feels crazy? Do it!

Just because you can doesn’t mean you should.
Keep this in the active spot of your head.

Smile.
That curve sets everything straight! Smile more often. Let this one contagious thing spread.

Call home.
They wait for it impatiently, you know that. Call them more often.

Vacations.
Go around the world. Get as many Emigration stamps you can get. Everybody needs a blue sky holiday, so do you. Choose different destinations.

I hope this year be a one awesome year of awesomeness! Happy New Year 🙂

Lots of Love,
23 year old me
