After a strong opening weekend, Alpha witnessed a sharp drop in collections at the start of the week. The spy thriller opened with around Rs 9 crore on Friday and saw steady growth over the weekend, collecting Rs 11.50 crore on Saturday and Rs 13.25 crore on Sunday to wrap up its opening weekend with nearly Rs 34 crore net in India. It then earned Rs 3.85 crore on Monday, followed by an estimated Rs 4.25 crore on Tuesday.
The film’s performance on Wednesday will be closely watched to see whether it can hold steady through the weekdays and build momentum ahead of its second weekend.
Directed by Shiv Rawail, Alpha stars Alia Bhatt as Sita, a covert operative who uncovers the truth about her past and embarks on a dangerous mission. The film also features Sharvari, Bobby Deol and Anil Kapoor in pivotal roles. It is the seventh instalment in the Yash Raj Films Spy Universe and the first film in the franchise to be led by female protagonists.
Trade analyst Joginder Tuteja shared, "#boxoffice #alpha Tuesday updates Friday - 9.25 crores Saturday - 11.75 crores Sunday - 13.50 crores Monday - 4 crores Tuesday - 4.30 crores Total - 42.80 crores First week to close around 48 crores mark. #aliabhatt #sharvari #bobbydeol #anilkapoor."
Trade analyst Nishit Shaw added in his post, "The weekend business was BETTER than expected which means that the audience gave it a chance but the weak content did not allow the momentum to sustain. #alpha is showing signs of a Big Crash and with stiff competition from holdovers and then the upcoming releases, it may slow down sooner than expected. Hope YRF re-works on this and revives one of the biggest franchises of Indian Cinema."
Trade analyst Nishit Shaw shared via X, "ANALYSIS TIME #alpha is heading towards becoming a BIG FLOP. Another MAJOR FAILURE from Yash Raj Films after #war2. The YRF Spy Universe may never come back unless YRF works on its writing. And this has always been a star-driven franchise and hence, an SRK or a Salman film is a MUST for the film to become a Big Grosser and hence the budgets must be wiser, in their absence."
Alia Bhatt and Sharvari's Alpha witnessed a muted start on its sixth day at the box office, recording just 6.08% morning occupancy.
Despite Tuesday's encouraging jump in advance bookings, Alpha still has a challenging road ahead. The Alia Bhatt and Sharvari starrer needs to sustain this momentum to justify its massive production cost. Adding to the pressure, holdover releases like Welcome to the Jungle and Main Vaapas Aunga continue to occupy a significant share of screens. The biggest challenge, however, arrives on July 10 with the release of Dhamaal 4, which is expected to trigger a major screen crunch across multiplexes.
Alpha registered a noticeable boost in advance bookings on Tuesday, with BookMyShow recording 82.92K tickets sold, an increase from 73.52K on Monday. The film has now sold approximately 764.97K tickets on the platform ahead of its release, reflecting strong audience interest.
Trade site Sacnilk shared that across the national multiplex chains, PVR, INOX, and Cinepolis, around 46,000 tickets were sold during the day, contributing an estimated Rs 71 lakh in gross collections and indicating steady momentum heading into release.
Alia Bhatt and Sharvari Wagh's Alpha is putting up a decent performance at the box office, though the film has fallen short of expectations after opening to mixed reviews and a divided audience response. While opinions on the film remain split, one aspect that has earned widespread praise is its music.
Huma Qureshi acknowledged the difference in scale between the two releases, noting that Baby Do Die Do is an independently produced film with a much smaller reach. "Having said that, we are a very small film, very independently produced, and, you know, we just need a little bit of space." While Alpha is a big-budget action entertainer, Huma hopes audiences will also turn up to support smaller, women-led films, reinforcing her belief that multiple releases can thrive together at the box office.
Speaking to NDTV, Baby Do Die Do star Huma Qureshi welcomed the idea of what she called a "women-first Friday" with the box office clash between her film and Alpha. She also expressed optimism about the growing space for female-led stories in Bollywood.
"I think it's a great time for female content. I think there's space for more than a film to be competing on the same day and still keep the numbers. Why should only two boy films compete?" Huma said.
Huma Qureshi recently addressed the box office clash between Baby Do Die Do and Alia Bhatt's Alpha. Rather than viewing it as a competition, the actor said the simultaneous release of two women-led films is a positive sign for Hindi cinema.
Baby Do Die Do also holds special significance for Huma as it marks her debut as a producer under the newly launched banner Saleem Siblings, which she co-founded with her brother, actor Saqib Saleem. The film has also introduced her to the business side of filmmaking.
According to Sacnilk, Alpha recorded an overall occupancy of 19.06% on Day 5. The film began the day with 9.00% occupancy in the morning shows, which increased to 17.08% in the afternoon. Occupancy further improved to 20.77% during the evening before peaking at 29.38% in the night shows.
Alpha recorded a Day 5 India net collection of Rs 4.25 crore, registering a 10.4% increase over Day 4's Rs 3.85 crore.
According to Sacnilk, Alpha earned an estimated Rs 1.50 crore overseas on Day 5, taking its total overseas gross collection to Rs 19.80 crore. With its latest domestic and international earnings, the film's worldwide gross collection has now reached Rs 70.03 crore.
According to Sacnilk, Alpha collected an estimated Rs 4.25 crore net in India on Day 5 across 7,173 shows. With this, the film's cumulative India net collection has reached Rs 42.10 crore, while its India gross stands at Rs 50.23 crore.
