Alpha has minted more than Alia Bhatt’s previous release Jigra. Directed by Vasan Bala, the action-thriller collected Rs 4.55 crore net in India on its first day of release. The film considered a massive commercial failure, only managed to earn around Rs 56.93 crore at the box office, against a budget of more than Rs 80 crore. Alpha is also facing stiff competition from other theatrical releases like Akshay Kumar’s Welcome To The Jungle and Imtiaz Ali’s Main Vaapis Aaunga.
Alpha is currently the weakest opener in the YRF Spyverse. Before this, films like Pathaan, War 2, War and the Tiger films have all had massive openings, and released on holiday weekends.
Alpha is the seventh film in the YRF Spy Universe and the first female-led instalment in the franchise. Directed by Shiv Rawail, the spy-thriller also features Sharvari, Bobby Deol and Anil Kapoor in important roles.
