Bipasha should give horror genre a break.
Spoilers ahead ….
Two twin sisters, Sanjana and Anjana (Bipasha Basu) conjoined at birth, made a promise to each other that they will always be together and never separate. But yet Sanjana opts for separation from her, which leads to death of Anjana, and she gets terrified of the scares she gets away from home, and then when the spirit of Anjana makes her return back. The misery of Sanjana begins then, and so does for viewers.
Bhushan Patel employs almost every possible cliche our horror movies has, like going in a isolated place with no neighborhood and big haveli place surrounded by river and trees only, the slow opening of door, girl walking alone in home at night, even outside home like she is at a picnic spot, girl’s husband putting a hand on her from behind scaring her and audience and of course a big secret to be revealed at right end. All of this crap only brings humor into the plot instead of scares. And then there is a romantic plot between Sanjana and Kabir (Karan Singh Grover) that has erotic scenes but hardly good acting in it.
There are also extra characters like the maid and her bahu working at Sanjana’s house who one by one get horror feel from house and Sanjana, and of course they face consequences at climax. And Zakir Hussain gets the role of a person who tries to help Kabir get rid of spirit, good initial scenes and then a weird end scene resembling Ashutosh from Raaz. They even have a Conjuring tribute.
The major problem in script comes for me when the reason for split between Sanjana and Anjana becomes their love feel for the same guy i.e Kabir. It would had been better if the reason was something else, and then the spirit of dying sister returns as spirit to haunt both of them. And of course without all the cliches. I still didn’t understand why spirit tried to kill or hurt Kabir in the climax, and then later rescue him out.
The only likable portion in the movie for me was that piano tune that plays at many places. Even most of the songs with exception of Awara were mediocre.
Among performances, Bipasha Basu looks glamorous and hot, but is getting terribly boring now in her non-stop horror acts, she should stay away from this genre for atleast 3 yrs now for my liking.
Karan Singh Grover doesn’t really make any impact, plus not a role I would say a actor would like to start film career with.
Alone has no scare thrills and no good performances. It only gives good locales views, and some laughs.
Verdict : 1/5
