Movie Review of ´ALONE´

- Bhavikk Sangghvi           Let us know what you think about this story

Bipasha Basu has excelled in this horror drama like no one. Alone is a classified piece of work by the director who brings terrifying elements to life.

However, the movie isn’t an out-an-out horror drama as one would be expecting it to be, yet it has its share of genuine thrills, which largely work in its favour. It is actually a ‘human’ story of a ghost.

The biggest asset of the movie is horror scenes, which we had been craving to see. Over two hours horror drama doesn’t disappoint you in this department.

While spook noises, dark ambiance, evil spirits are the quintessential elements in every horror flick, but are mostly incompetent to be carried with perfection, ‘Alone’ here sets these components at right place with perfect timing. It won’t spoil your mood with cheap thrills and you will be moved with the innovative ideas that are used to thrill you.

Lovemaking scenes and sensual songs do occupy an appropriate chunk in the flick but without dissecting the main horror plot. Bipasha Basu and Karan Singh Grover sizzle in these parts while their individual performances too are captivating.

Bipasha Basu as a terrified lady in the beginning while as a ghost herself shines in a dual role. Already expert in carrying such roles with excellence, Bipasha just takes her act to another level and scares the hell out of you.

Karan Singh Gorver flaunts his acting skills with same exactness that he carries while flaunting his body (he is an ‘abs’loute Greek God) when required. As a caring boyfriend to Bipasha he plays his part well.

Music by Ankit Tiwari and Mithoon is of top notch. Almost all the songs are beautiful and gel well with the story. With beautiful picturisation, the songs get more recall value. Awara and Katra Katra are my personal favourites.

With some genuine scary moments and Bipasha-Karan’s scorching chemistry, Alone which is intense, passionate and emotional stands apart from numerous horrible horror flicks made in the past.

Rating: 3.5 stars
