Stay away if you have had enough of Bips and her deadly on-screen dalliances with the nether world.
The spirit of the dead sister confined all these years to a room in the house grabs the opportunity to make her presence felt in ways that can only rattle the married couple. But does the repeated appearance of the ghost and her malevolent shadow add up to genuine shocks for the audience? The director, the cinematographer (Prakash Kutty) and the editor (Devendra Murdeshwar) try their best to whip up dread through a mix of dim lighting, spooky silhouettes and sounds, abrupt snips, skewed angles and other horror movie effects. They do get it right on a few occasions, startling the audience out of the seats. (more)

Bipasha looks sensuous and Karan Singh Grover makes an interesting big screen debut
The lovemaking scenes between Bipasha and Karan are racy. The supernatural turn in the conflict between the sisters does give you goosebumps. But the limited expertise of director Bhushan Patel (1920, Evil Returns, Ragini MMS) and actress Bipasha Basu (Raaz, Creature 3D) - in spite of their many ventures in this genre - allows Alone to deliver only superficial chills. The prolonged climax though it is full of twists, leaves you cold because it is too contrived. When you scratch the surface, you don't end up scared shitless. And isn't that what Alone is meant to do?(more)

What horror movie? Bipasha Basu brings you the best comedy of the year
Director Bhushan Patel has put in everything we associate with Indian horror films in this movie. Lights flicker and go out, doors creak pointlessly, swings swing by themselves; a jobless professor shows up to help fight the ghost; days end faster than night; defective fans help ghosts announce their presence. The two things missing: fear and the ghost. The ghost in this ghost film could make Rahul Gandhi proud: she makes fewer appearances than Gandhi did in Lok Sabha. This is probably because Basu, the high priestess of "horrex", needs to be in baby doll negligees and lace shorts and Bollywood ghosts are still a little adarsh bharatiya deep inside and aren't comfortable in such progressive styling. Net result: Alone could be the best comic film Bollywood churns out this year. (more)

A few mildly scary moments.
There really has to be a law against putting in songs in a horror film that wants us to take it seriously. As well as such priceless dialogues as : �isko extra sensory perception kehte hain�. You don�t say. (more)

Slowly these hallucinations give way to a shocking discovery of a horrific secret conjoined with fear, fate and a most passionate twisted love
Sanjana is an over-possessive wife, married for six years. She loves her husband Kabir more than her own life and does not want anything or anyone to come in between them, which lead to constant fights between her and Kabir. Sanjana is very secretive and closed as a person and does not share her problems or issues easily. Her biggest fear is to lose her loved ones and hence somewhere blames herself for Anjana's death. The guilt of her sister's death still haunts her and draws her into a spiral of horror.(more)
