‘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!
