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?

Slow pace in the most part of the movie.
Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
Its not a good movie, its just better than any other Indian horror in the past. Bollywood industry really bad at making horror stuff, they are just good in making romance, drama and comedy. But you know you need to explore a lot of genre to become well-known in this tough industry. I wonder why bollywood horror movie always call Bipasha to become the "Scream Queen", she always do the same thing actually just like in "Raaz", heavy emotional & stuff. A lot of critics bash this movie terribly, but I think they just took this movie too serious. For me, what makes a good horror movie is a "working scare trick". It works on me, I cover my eyes a lot of time to avoid the ghost. Even though I've watch all James Wan, Ju-On, The Ring movie, I'm still feeling scared from "ALONE"'s cheap trick. I know there is a lot of plothole in this movie, and the twist too looks like inappropriate and cliché. But, its still works in some kind of safe way. If you expect so much from bollywood industry in horror, you sure will be disappointed but if you just want some quite a fun scary movie. I think its OK. I'm being lenient to give this movie 7/10 though, from my critical view it should be around 4-6 but its OK, good development from bollywood by the way.
I am a big fan of bollywood horror films and I watch a lot of horror films but sad this was nowhere near a horror film.Although a remake of 2007 Thai film of same name, the execution is simply awful in case this Hindi film. At no point I felt scary or I can say it hardly had any scary moments. Director Bhusan Patel whose last film Ragini MMS 2 also suffered from same problem but that film was at least enjoyable. This film is really stupid, hardly any logic was maintained and some kissing scenes failed to bring any excitement.Only Bipasha looked descent, but her role as a ghost was literally poor. She neither has the charm anymore. Debutante Karan Singh Grover needs to learn acting rather than flaunting his body. Other casts are of nothing special. Only katra and awara songs were nice in this otherwise 133 minute nonsense. So don't watch it even you are alone. Stay far...very far away.
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.
When a Bollywood horror movie releases, one keeps no expectations. Because it will either be a remake of a foreign film or some experimental claptrap. With Alone, Bhushan Patel tries to churn out a story told a million times (through its original Thai film, numerous South Indian remakes, Agatha Christie's original novel, etc.) using a terrible cast and poor production design.Anjana & Sanjana (Bipasha Basu) are conjoined twins from Kerala (what?). When a boy (Karan Grover) enters their lives and gets attracted to one of them, all hell breaks loose. The story is unfathomably idiotic. While one allows a horror movie to go illogical at times so as to suit its rhythmic story, this one goes out of bounds and dances in its boundaries mocking its audience on an astronomic level. While the original novel and the film both were good enough for few thrills, its millionth iteration is nothing short of nonsense.Bipasha Basu maybe getting more voluptuous year by year, but her acting skills have hardly had any improvement, if not deterioration. She is so bad at screaming, crying, being frightened, sleeping, emoting, terrorizing, and even kissing that it gets annoying just after 30 minutes. The débutante Karan Grover should be made to watch this nightmare in a theater in a loop until he gets flustered by his own awful acting. Grover can be best described as a piece of wood, which will not show any emotions even if burned.The film has poor lighting, which may have been purposely done so as to make audience believe that it is a horror movie that they are watching and so they are not allowed to laugh. The climax tries to resurrect the whole shindig but ends up sabotaging it with gimmicky twists and flashbacks. There is not a single sequence that one can enjoy. And let me not talk about the screenplay.The film would sweep the Razzie Awards 2015 if it were held in India, with accolades for Worst Acting, Worst Director, Worst Screenplay, Worst Production Design, Worst Special Effects, Worst Score, Worst Editing and maybe Worst Picture, too. Such is its degree of dreadfulness that I am forced to rate Patel's third feature a perfect 1 out of 10. It has all the reasons for an average moviegoer to skip it.BOTTOM LINE: Lets all welcome the first flop of 2015 with unfolded hands and slap it back to where it came from: an abyss of Bollywood rubbish.Can be watched with a typical Indian family? NO
