Storyline
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?Written by Official Agent
Hindi horror film ? Not something you see everyday and wondered what the cultural differences between this and a horror film from the West would be . If nothing else being a Bollywood movie it means it's guaranteed to have some really hot Indo-Aryan chicks to drool over
To be fair it's very difficult to change the formula of a "scary scene" and the opening sequence uses every clichéd convention we see in the horror genre . A woman alone at night wanders in to a deserted building . There's mystery involved . A flash of lightening and the booming sound of thunder . That should warn the woman something nasty is going to happen and even scary music blaring over the soundtrack isn't a subtle enough warning so she goes in to the deserted building . Something follows her and she turns and screams at the unseen figure behind her
Cut to opening credits
It's an old technique you've seen a million times before and ALONE follows the same pattern . Scary bits are made scary simply by using loud noises over the soundtrack . Being a Bollywood movie it's very loosely plotted and there's musical inserts . I haven't seen a lot of Bollywood but there is a sex scene which might not seem explicit to Western viewers but I suspect pushes the boat out in restricted Bollywood terms . As for everything else it's what you will expect
