According to trade tracker Sacnilk, Alia Bhatt and Sharvari-starrer Alpha has collected around Rs 9 crore net as of 10 pm on Friday.
Alia Bhatt and Sharvari-starrer Alpha is the first female-led spy thriller in the YRF Spy Universe.Alpha, starring Alia Bhatt and Sharvari in the lead roles, is finally out in theatres. The spy actioner was initially scheduled to release in December 2025, and was then postponed to April 2026, with the film ultimately releasing on July 3.
Alpha is the latest instalment in the YRF-Spyverse and follows the Tiger series, Pathaan, and War films. In the film’s trailer, it was hinted that Hrithik Roshan’s Kabir, from War, will be joining Alia’s character in the film. Directed by Shiv Rawail and produced by Aditya Chopra, Alpha also stars Anil Kapoor and Bobby Deol in pivotal roles.
Alia and Sharvari visited the premiere episode of Samay Raina’s India’s Got Latent Season 2 to promote their film, but besides that, the promotions have been fairly low-key, especially in comparison to the previous Spyverse films. The last Spyverse film, War 2, was a disappointment for the fans and it is yet to be seen if Alpha is able to revive the audience’s faith in the franchise.
Beyond the buzz surrounding its cast and concept, Alpha is also expected to make a decent start at the box office. Trade experts are projecting a Rs 7-8 crore net opening for Alia Bhatt and Sharvari’s spy thriller.
User @iSourabh12 took to X and wrote, "I watched #alpha. It's not a masterpiece, but it's definitely not as bad as people are making it out to be. Social media, especially X, is full of herd mentality. Many people are posting negative opinions just for likes, engagement, and a small payout."
User Rgv20 wrote on Reddit, "It was okayish. Some decent parts but also extremely idiotic. Overly wannabe bad ass and such dumb loud music."
According to trade tracker Sacnilk, Alpha, currently running across 7,233 shows, has collected around Rs 7.45 crore net as of 9 pm on Friday.
User Legitimate_Self0129 shared on Reddit, "Alpha made War 2 look like War. Very weird, tries hard to be cool, and incoherently paced. Here are the pros and cons. Pros - 1. Sharvari - screen presence, dance, action, she is top notch! 2. Hand to hand combats - the choreography is very well done. Minus the CGI. 3. The cameo - it's a 8 min cameo and it's evident HR loves Kabir. 4. Bobby Deol's screen presence. Ain't gonna lie, he was good in whatever he was given.
The user continued, "Cons - 1. Alia - she needs to stop with her action persona acting. She is trying to hard and looks very bad. Even her dialogue delivery is very stiff. 2. Lord Bobby's slipping accent - if they dropped the accent, he could have been the major highlight of the movie. 3. Anil Kapoor - we call out Ajay Devgn too often that he looks same in all film. But Anil Kapoor is doing that too. Be it Subedar, Fighter, War 2 or Race 3, he looks the same, acts the same. 4. BGM - the constant edm, rap songs is obviously mimicking the "other" spy film's cool factor, but doesn't work. 4. Ishita Moitra's dialogue and screenplay! They jumping from point A to B to C without the feel of any urgency! 5. The cameo - as I said that's the pro, but that's also a con. The cameo isn't necessary, adds nothing to plot and ends abruptly! 6. CGI - the explosions still looks so fake! Use miniature if you can't do justice to these scenes! 2/5 from me. It's time to end the franchise."
A post by X user @GUppi60 read, "GENERIC AF! Fresh concept for this universe but seen 100 times in Hollywood. Good action I must say, Sharvari vs Alia fight was highlight. Film is Shot beautifully but the template of this universe just feel lazy and boring. And The twist is just so so bad man."
According to trade tracker Sacnilk, Alpha, currently running across 6,490 shows, has collected around Rs 6.25 crore net as of 8 pm on Friday.
User @AnuragSaiGupta tweeted, "MyReview-#alpha-old wine in new bottle!A typical @yrf spy film with high visuals, BGM, action but lacks story.Switching women with men as protagonists & following a #marvels strategy is not helping this or any of the spy films."
User @v_sanjai said via X, "Oh, boy! Durandhar set new standards for spy movies in #bollywood. Formulaic movies like #alpha that focus more on spectacle than storytelling is crashing down to the earth like Icarus did! @aliaa08."

User TypicalCartoonist555 shared on Reddit, "The plot twist was good, but they spent too much time explaining the Alpha program. I might get downvoted, but Alia and Shavari did good. Lord bobby on the other hand, the less said the better.....Sanjay Dutt/SRK would have been a better choice. You need an actor with aura."
User op-Issue-1079 said via Reddit, "One time watch. Acting wise all are good. Story is average and nothing that surprises you. predictable. Bad songs. Hritik cameo is amazing."

User @TrendSpice_LB wrote on X, "It’s definitely a different take in the YRF universe movies. Hrithik Roshan cameo was the best. Casting was on point. Loved the background scores. #alpha #aliabhatt #sharvari #hrithikroshan #yrf #review"
A post by X page @bolly_talkies read, "So many people have raised concerns about #aliabhatt’s entry scene in #alpha, where she arrives holding a packet of French fries. But on screen, it looked incredibly attractive! Not every film needs to be Dhurandhar. The Spy Universe has always embraced this kind of larger-than-life treatment. The scene instantly establishes that she’s playing a young character with crazy 'Alpha skills. The action sequence that follows is well choreographed. While Alia may not have a taller and lean physique, she seems to be aware of it and has clearly put in an amount of hard work in the gym to make these scenes convincing, and it genuinely shows on screen."
User mahaanvinesh posted on X, "First: THIS MOVIE DOESN'T HAVE ANY POST CREDIT SCENES. Just got out of the theatre. Initial thoughts: the movie is fine. The story and action are quite good, and all the negativity around the film shouldn't bother you too much because the final product is quite the opposite of what I was expecting. I'm not saying it's groundbreaking or anything, but it's a decent watch. Things that stood out: 1. The plot twist: I hadn't watched any trailers, so I don't know if they spoiled it there, but the twist genuinely caught me off guard. I just wish it had been presented in a more shocking way. For me, it's on the same level as what we got in War. 2. Action choreography: The action doesn't feel choppy, which is a big plus. It's not the most organic choreography you'll ever see, but I enjoyed it overall. 3. The Alpha program: This is a hit or miss aspect. The concept behind the Alpha program is interesting and has potential, but I don't think the execution fully lands. 4. Pacing: An hour into the movie, I didn't even realize how much time had passed. The 2 hour 20 minute runtime flies by. That said, this fast pace also becomes one of the movie's weaknesses. 5. Lord Bobby: Overall, the performances are decent, but Bobby Deol surprised me again. The Haryanvi accent is inconsistent (the film even tries to justify it), but the rage in his eyes really works. And alongside him, Anil Kapoor is... well, Anil Kapoor. Reliable as always."
The user continued, "Things that annoyed me: 1. Spoon-feeding: The movie explains way too much. I get what your Alpha program is. Show me how it works instead of making characters explain every single feature before demonstrating it. Also, why does every character keep talking to themselves just to tell the audience what they're doing? Trust the audience a little. 2. Storytelling: I actually like the storytelling style, but it moves too quickly. Some crucial character development seems to happen inside the songs, which makes the emotional journey feel rushed. 3. Dialogues: What's with Alia's dialogue writing lately? Why do these movies struggle to sound natural? Everything feels overly polished and written instead of spoken. It's hard to explain, but the conversations rarely feel organic. VERDICT: The future of the Spy Universe still doesn't feel very certain. Alpha clearly tries to steer it back in the right direction, but it needed to be a genuine breakthrough film, and it isn't. That said, it's nowhere near as bad as War 2 or Tiger 3. I'd even rank it above Pathaan, which, for me, was carried more by SRK's screen presence than its storytelling. Alpha tries to build a family dynamic that looks cool, but it rarely gives those relationships enough room to become emotionally engaging. Overall, it's a decent timepass. Not great, not terrible. Or, as the legendary quote goes: Sometimes maybe shit, sometimes maybe good.'"
According to trade tracker Sacnilk, Alpha, currently running across 4,918 shows, has collected around Rs 4.22 crore not as of 5 pm on Friday.

She blends vulnerability and fierce intensity, owning every frame with remarkable depth. #hrithikroshan’s cameo is pure magic, bringing swag and star power that lights up the screen. #bobbydeol shines as a compelling, menacing force with incredible presence.

Trade analyst Nishit Shaw shared, "#alpha Despite borrowing tracks from Hollywood biggies, the initial fragment seems interesting and promising. But things start going downhill as soon as the female leads appear and eventually CRASHES in the second half. Weakest one from the Spy Universe."
The Indian Express film critic Shubhra Gupta awarded Alpha 1.5 out of 5 stars, calling it a disappointing addition to the YRF Spy Universe. In her review, she wrote that despite its star-studded cast and ambitious scale, the film fails to meet expectations due to its weak screenplay, predictable narrative and lack of emotional depth. Describing it as a dull and lifeless spy thriller, Shubhra Gupta noted that while Alia Bhatt and Sharvari deliver sincere performances and Hrithik Roshan's appearance provides a brief spark, their efforts are not enough to save the film from its uninspired execution and uneven storytelling.
X user @GunjanR28558286 posted "#alpha 1st Half: it’s going really good, action scenes were great. The core conflict feels similar to other spy universe films still it has unique approach to it. Internet is full of unnecessary hate for reach. If you are expecting #dhurandhar here it’s your fault not the film."
Trade analyst Taran Adarsh added, "#hrithikroshan's cameo feels forced and doesn't work. Final word? #yrf needs to reset and reboot the #yrfspyuniverse and bring back the believability, emotional connect, and relatability that got audiences hooked on these films in the first place."
Trade analyst Taran Adarsh shared hs take on Alia Bhatt's film and wrote on X, " #onewordreview... #alpha: WEAK. Weakest film in the #yrfspyuniverse... Brilliant action set pieces, stunning visuals, and a few well-executed sequences, but the writing simply doesn't connect... Missed opportunity! #alphareview When you walk into the auditorium to watch #alpha, it's impossible not to carry the #dhurandhar duology with you... Those films have set a new benchmark for spy thrillers rooted in patriotism. #alpha follows the familiar #yrf template of gloss, glamour, and high-octane action, but the patriotic emotion that should have been its strongest pillar is largely missing, despite the #pakistan angle. Director #shivrawail had an interesting concept on hand, but the execution feels too Western in its approach... The emotional identification and relatability are missing. #aliabhatt tries hard, but looks miscast in a role like this... #sharvari is relegated to the background... #anilkapoor and #bobbydeol deliver competent performances in their respective roles. "
Trade analyst Joginder Tuteja shared "#alpha #intervalreport A stylish action entertainer so far. Has been made like a Hollywood movie. Unlike anything that has been seen in Spy Universe movies so far. The best part is that it has an original story to tell as far as #bollywood films are concerned. Second half should be fun. #aliabhatt #sharvari."
X user @MrFamous124 shared, "#alpha Overall, Alpha has flashes of entertainment, supported by a few engaging action sequences and effective twists. However, its predictable plot, formulaic storytelling, and uneven second half prevent it from becoming a memorable addition to the spy genre."
Trade analyst Sumit Kadel shared via X, "The story is written by Uday Chopra, while the screenplay is by Sridhar Raghavan and Soumil Shukla. Believe me, they’ve managed to surpass even War 2 and Tiger 3 in delivering one of the weakest and most nonsensical scripts in the Spy Universe. Comparing Alpha with the Dhurandhar series would be a crime. Its real comparison should be with films like Naam Shabana, Akira, and Dhaakad and even by those standards, Alpha comes across as the weakest of the lot. Bobby Deol’s character is disappointingly underwritten, and his mixed Haryanvi-Rajasthani accent fails to leave any impact. Anil Kapoor is a terrific actor, but he feels completely out of place in this universe. Patriotism is virtually nonexistent in the film. Hrithik Roshan’s cameo is the only aspect that is genuinely worth watching. Shiv Rawail’s direction lacks impact, but it’s hard to blame him entirely. When the writing is this poor, there’s only so much a director can do. Overall, Alpha is a very poor film. It lacks thrill, substance, and even the kind of action that audiences can genuinely enjoy. Watch it at your own risk."
@Bolly_BoxOffice posted via X, #alpha First Half Nothing engaging so far. Even the action blocks fail to generate any excitement or leave an impact. #aliabhatt never convinces as a spy. The screen presence, body language and commanding attitude expected from a character like this are simply missing. #sharvari is severely underutilized and gets very little scope to leave an impression. Several portions feel outdated and forced, making the narrative drag. Overall, the first half is a real test of your patience. All eyes are on the second half now. It needs to deliver in a big way."
X page Pan India Review's interval review for Alia Bhatt's film read, "#alpha Interval Review: #dhurandhar Fans it’s your day today This first half is VERY MUCH BELOW AVERAGE. A so-called supersoldier casually eating fries and junk food completely breaks the immersion. Both songs are absolute misses. The background score is genuinely impressive and one of the few positives. The screenplay feels rushed, with several scenes lacking impact. The Haryanvi accent doesn’t feel convincing by Bobby Deol. A number of moments that are meant to look cool end up becoming unintentionally funny. #aliabhatt was expected to be the film’s biggest strength, but the writing lets her down. Apart from her terrific entry and a sincere performance, she doesn’t get enough impactful moments. #sharvari has the stronger screen presence so far and is leaving a better impression. Please, second half… save this film. #alpha #alphareview #aliabhatt #sharvari."
X user @RahulCh9290 shared his review for Alpha and wrote, "Just survived #alpha. What was supposed to be a high octane spy thriller turned into a endurance test. The story is dull..... screenplay keeps testing your patience & the music is forgettable. #aliabhatt looks completely miscast and struggles to make the role believable. Alia's many of the stunts came across as unintentionally funny & her expressions often failed to match the gravity of the scenes. The action has a few moments but that's nowhere near enough. #bobbydeol and #anilkapoor bring some credibility. #sharvari tried her best but that couldn't lift the movie. #alphareview."

It’s very tightly edited. Some technical details: • CGI and VFX looks good enough. They’re not realistic, but render quality is good so doesn’t look distracting. • Surround sound mix is very interesting • Although I’m watching in a 2K laser venue, DCP picture quality is exceptional. Colours too look outstanding, I’d strongly suggest a bright laser venue because the contrast, saturation, sharpness, everything is superb."
X user @Rupa_53 posted a reaction on Alia Bhatt's film that read, "Alia Bhatt enters the frame wearing a tank top and eating fries.

It didn’t feel like he was ever trying to act. He is a natural."
She added, "The director will come and say, 'Bobby sir, what a shot!' And he would say, 'I have no idea what I did,' and then Shiv would go.. 'no sir, it was outstanding!' And Bobby sir ka reaction will be ‘Haan achha? I don’t know what I did. Ok then. Do u need to give another take?’ He used to say this because he doesn't know how to do the same thing again.

No conventional romance. No male lead. Just a high-stake female led-spy action film. Here’s hoping audiences judge #alpha for what it is — a big-screen popcorn entertainer. The advances have now opened, go & book your tickets now - A big win here could pave path for something more in the #yrfspyuniverse. Wishing #aliabhatt, #sharvari, #bobbydeol, #anilkapoor, #shivrawail and entire team of #yrf all the very best for the grand release of #alpha on July 3. may this one win the box office.
