Ten days in, and the numbers tell a sobering story. **“Alpha,”** the spy action drama starring **Alia Bhatt** and **Sharvari**, has crossed the **₹50 crore mark** at the Indian box office — but a massive **83% drop** in its second weekend suggests this Yash Raj Films production is heading toward a disappointing finish, not a triumphant one.

The film collected **₹5.60 crore nett** over its second weekend, with **₹2.20 crore** coming in on Sunday alone. For context, that’s a steep fall from its opening weekend numbers, and trade watchers are calling the decline significant enough to shape the film’s entire trajectory going forward.

### Alpha Weekend & Cumulative Collections

| Period | Collection (Nett) |
| --- | --- |
| Week 1 | ₹45.25 crore |
| 2nd Friday | ₹1.30 crore |
| 2nd Saturday | ₹2.10 crore |
| 2nd Sunday | ₹2.20 crore |
| **Total (10 days)** | **₹50.85 crore** |

Based on current trends, the film is expected to close its second week somewhere around **₹9–10 crore**, pushing the total to roughly **₹55 crore**. From there, trade estimates suggest a full theatrical run finishing near **₹65 crore nett** — a number that would fall well short of expectations given the star power and production scale involved.

**Why the struggle?** Directed by Shiv Rawail, “Alpha” faced headwinds from the start. Female-led action films have historically had a tough time pulling audiences at the Indian box office, and the timing didn’t help either — the YRF Spy Universe has been in a rough patch following the underwhelming performances of both “Tiger 3” and, more notably, “War 2.” Simply getting the film off the ground under those conditions is being viewed as a modest win in itself, even if the commercial outcome falls short.

It’s also worth noting that Yash Raj Films has stayed away from inflating numbers or engaging in questionable promotional tactics — a pattern trade observers point to as consistent with how the studio handled “War 2” as well, regardless of outcome.

Female-led action cinema remains a growing but still-developing space globally, echoing broader conversations happening across the [action film](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Action_film) genre about representation and box office risk-taking.
