Directed by Shiv Rawail, Alpha features Alia Bhatt and Sharvari as the lead agents, with Bobby Deol and Anil Kapoor playing important supporting roles. The film also marks the first female-led chapter in the expanding YRF Spy Universe.
Alpha Review
However, audience reactions have been divided. While the action sequences and Hrithik Roshan's cameo have received widespread appreciation, several viewers felt the overall story lacked impact. Some audiences also believed Alia Bhatt was not the ideal choice for the role, whereas others praised Bobby Deol's performance and the film's action choreography despite their reservations about the screenplay.
Alpha Expands the YRF Spy Universe
Hrithik Roshan's return as Major Kabir further strengthens the interconnected storytelling of the YRF Spy Universe, which already includes Ek Tha Tiger, Tiger Zinda Hai, War, Pathaan, Tiger 3, and the upcoming War 2.
The film also had a long journey before its theatrical release. Originally scheduled for a Christmas release, Alpha was postponed twice before finally arriving in cinemas on July 3.
Although the film has opened to mixed reviews, Hrithik Roshan's cameo has emerged as its biggest crowd-pleasing moment, generating massive online discussion and renewing excitement for future chapters of the YRF Spy Universe.
