Conjoined at birth, Anjana and Sanjana were twin sisters who lived by one promise made to each other - 'We will always be together. We will never separate'. Mysterious circumstances lead to the death of one while the other survived. Years later, the ghost of the dead comes back to haunt the surviving sister. Why was the promise broken?

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! :))

There is no competition to Horror genre in India as almost everyone is ready to try it once (irrespective of the star-cast), expecting that probably this time they do it right coming up with a real scary film breaking the long jinx. But unfortunately, ALONE remains another silly addition to the category of all those lazily made ventures following the typical filmy setting of mixing horror with sex and some soothing songs. Moreover this time neither you get to feel the horror nor are served with any exciting sexual content as seen in director Bhushan Patel's last scary film RAGINI MMS 2.Adaptation of a Thai film with the same title ALONE (2007), it was earlier remade in south too as CHAARULATHA (2012 – Kannada/Tamil) before the present Hindi version. And the most disappointing feature of this remake is that despite having a decent, novel plot revolving around two beautiful (twin) sisters, the writers/director fails to materialize on it absurdly and goes on and on with the same old clichéd sequences completely ruining its interesting premise right from the beginning. Both the scary and steamy-quotient are not able to deliver anything significant and the film ends just like that making you feel as conned by the makers stealing your precious two hours and the hard earned money once again so easily.Being too dark throughout (in literal sense), you get to see a brighter screen only in the well shot songs and few other sequences in gaps resulting in a more annoying experience. Plus the boringly slow pace with a routine progression and average dialogues further become its major downers unable to exploit the potential plot that could have been used differently as required. In the performance section, the key face of the project Bipasha Basu continues with her deliberate move of doing more horror movies but displays the same expressions and erotic appeal repeatedly proving herself as a much better kisser keeping aside the acting skills. However the lady surely deserves an innovative director and project to prove her untapped talent in this particular genre quite clearly. Karan Singh Grover makes a confident debut showing his worked upon body and knows well how to do the emotional scenes (learning from this TV serial experience) evidently. But the poor screenplay of the film doesn't let him do something exceptional making the best use of the opportunity given. In addition the supporting cast provides few funny moments in place of the scary ones resulting in a weird laughter in the theater post intermission.In all, the soundtrack with few interesting (but not great) tracks can be rated as the only positive feature of this lousy horrex film (as it is called). And its really a pity to see such an uninteresting remake despite having two clear references right in front of you for the guidance. Therefore you can easily skip ALONE to watch something more scary from your own DVD collection that is compelling enough to be given a repeat viewing.(For records, one of its song "Touch My Body" has credited 8 lyricist for its creation, since it is a reworked track from Dr. Zeus earlier two songs namely, "Feel My Body - Don't Be Shy" and "Kangna".)

yes . 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.

What's Good: The use of all possible creepy elements such as wooden doors that make noises, swing and an overall horrific location. Interestingly, Bhushan Patel manages to infuse a good amount of suspense in the film and stretches it to the very climax even though one starts getting the hints quite early on. The visual effects are quite decent and it seems Patel is getting the hang of it with every film.What's Bad: Well, I would say a wrong timing of intimate scenes that nearly breaks the link of a 'could have been' gripping tale. Also the spine chilling moments don't come very often and more often than not it is the background score that gives away what's coming, thus leaving you all ready for the scene.Watch or Not?: Alone is once again not an out and out horror film and so it won't satiate your scary needs or give you nightmares. If you are a fan of Bollywood's horror films then this one is worth your watch. Don't even think of comparing it to its original Thai film by the same name, because I couldn't watch that one without closing my eyes every two seconds. Alone is a decent weekend watch if you have nothing else to do.
