Alpha box office collection day 1 (updated live): Alia Bhatt and Sharvari ‘s much-awaited action thriller Alpha has finally hit theatres. The first female-led film in the YRF Spy Universe opened to a mixed response from critics and moviegoers on its first day. As the opening-day numbers of Alpha continue to come in, the film has got off to a decent start at the Indian box office.
The last Yash Raj Films spy universe release, War 2, starring Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR, opened to a massive ₹ 52 crore net at the Indian box office on Day 1 across 19,455 shows, even though the film received bad reviews. Shah Rukh Khan’s Pathaan boasts of the highest opening in the franchise with a ₹ 57 crore net haul on day 1.
Jigra had collected ₹ 4.55 crore net while playing across 5,779 shows. The YRF spy film has surpassed Jigra’s day 1 numbers.
According to an NDTV report, the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) cleared the Hindi version of the film with English subtitles on June 29, 2026. The Alia Bhatt and Sharvari-led film has been awarded a UA 16+ certificate and has a final approved runtime of 2 hours, 20 minutes and 48 seconds.
An excerpt from Hindustan Times review of Alpha reads, “Alpha is neither the disaster naysayers had predicted nor the reinvention the SpyVerse needed after the disappointing War 2. It is a competently mounted but emotionally underwhelming film that delivers very few highs, largely courtesy Hrithik Roshan, but never finds a compelling pulse of its own. Sometimes, that’s more disappointing than watching an outright bad film.”
