The YRF Spy Universe’s newest entry is having a tough second week. **Alpha**, starring Alia Bhatt and Sharvari, dropped a steep **50% on its second Monday**, adding just Rs 65 lakh and pushing its second-week total to Rs 6.35 crore in 4 days. The film’s overall running total now stands at **Rs 51.50 crore nett** in 11 days.

Directed by Shiv Rawail, Alpha is projected to close this week near the **Rs 55 crore** mark, with its full theatrical run likely settling somewhere between **Rs 60-65 crore** — a number better than several recent female-led films, but still short given the movie’s higher budget.

## Alpha Day-Wise Collection Breakdown

| 2nd Saturday | Rs 2.10 crore |
| 2nd Sunday | Rs 2.20 crore |
| 2nd Monday | Rs 0.65 crore (est.) |
| **Total** | **Rs 51.50 crore** |

Female-led action films have historically struggled at the Indian box office, making Alpha a risky bet from the start. That challenge was compounded by the **[YRF Spy Universe](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YRF_Spy_Universe)** already being in a rough patch following the underwhelming runs of *Tiger 3* and *War 2*. Simply getting the film off the ground under those conditions counts as a small win — even if the numbers suggest a heavy financial loss ahead.

Notably, the makers have avoided artificial box office inflation tactics, a restraint Yash Raj Films maintained during War 2 as well, choosing to accept outcomes with quiet consistency rather than manufactured hype.
