Alone Thread (Update of Box Office on Page 1) - Page 20

Alone continued to remain steady over the fifth day. The film collected 2.02 crores on its first Tuesday. It now stands with a total collection of 18.12 crores at the domestic box office.

The Bipasha Basu and Karan Singh Grover starrer horror drama received mixed responses from the critics. Usually, the genre of horror erotica has worked well at the box office but Aloneis not quite up to the mark. The film is performing decently at single screens but multiplexes are average.

In terms of performance, Bipasha Basu tries hard not to limit herself to one angle (read: victimhood) but it's too stark to overlook. Perhaps, it's high time the self-proclaimed 'horror queen' took some time off from this genre. Playing her onscreen lover, Karan Singh Grover is decent, to say the least. His performance is steady throughout and he makes the most of the climax, almost stealing the show from his co-star.

Given the track record that horror genre has in Hindi film industry, 'Alone' is worth laughing with too, but not all horror films can claim to have a more touching twist in the plot.
