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.

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 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.
