Alpha Draws Inspiration From La Femme Nikita?
Now, fans were quick to draw similarities to the French thriller La Femme Nikita, which has a similar-looking scene. Just like the French film, Alpha also revolves around a mentor-mentee relationship. This parallel inspiration drawn by Alpha from the French film has received mixed reactions from the audience. Some claimed YRF has no original ideas, while some said it is completely okay to get inspiration from overseas cinema.
The French movie La Femme Nikita, released in 1990 and directed by Luc Besson, follows the troubled outsider named Nikita.

Alia's film also has a similar training and execution storyline.
Apart from the varied opinions, Alpha is said to be a significant movie in YRF's spy universe and it sure will be a treat to watch.
