Shubhra Gupta The Indian Express Jul 6
1.5/5
What prevents Alpha from being a slick, smart spy thriller — which is clearly the intention — is that old YRF weakness: the writing is borrowed and stale, reminding us of numerous films we have seen before. Go to Full Review
Simon Abrams RogerEbert.com Jul 6
3/4
Its action, much like its humorless dialogue and sudsy interpersonal relationships—and yes, even its standard-grade nationalism—is polished to a uniformly satisfying sheen. Go to Full Review
Anupama Chopra The Hollywood Reporter India Jul 3
At the end of my War 2 review, I had suggested that perhaps women will save the day for the YRF universe. They don’t not because they aren’t good enough but because they aren’t given the right narrative ammunition. And that is the THR bottomline. Go to Full Review

1.5/5
Director Shiv Rawail's half-hearted diversion from the male-dominated genre means to give the girls their due but only ends up failing their cause in a generic, lacklustre actioner. Go to Full Review
Sarah Manvel Movies We Texted About Jul 26
Alpha also is about bodily autonomy, the selfish choices men make for women, and the importance of a happy childhood. And within a blockbuster setting, those ideas are new. Go to Full Review

Hadi gujjar T @RT84661683 1d Bollywood has nothing to produce except every movie, every story against Pakistan. Now people are get tired of same stories, please try to create something unique and unbiased. See more DeamBrooks T @RT09868177 2d Entertaining but a basic assassin action movie but with female leads. The script was basic with some funny (ironic) moments. Pretty much guessed the twist in the first 5 minutes but definitely enjoyable when you don't know what to watch and want some si-fi action. See more Rajshekar T @RT62846179 4d My family really enjoyed this movie. It's packed with action and emotion, and the locations were fantastic. It had everything we were hoping for, and we were never bored for a single second. Honestly, we wish we'd caught it in theaters instead of watching on Netflix. See more faha Q @RT88543821 4d Honestly, the movie feels like another unnecessary attempt to portray Pakistan and Pakistanis through hatred and hostility. There is a difference between showing conflict, politics or terrorism and portraying an entire nation as the enemy. The storyline also feels unrealistic, with far too much action and many scenes that simply don’t make sense. Instead of making the film more convincing, the excessive action makes it feel exaggerated and disconnected from reality. Filmmakers have every right to tell stories, but repeatedly making movies that fuel hatred between two nations is disappointing. Ordinary Indians and Pakistanis share so much in culture, language, food, traditions and history. We don’t need more films teaching people to hate each other. Please stop glorifying hatred and unnecessary violence. Make films that are realistic, meaningful and promote humanity rather than division. 🕊️ See more Akanksha P @Popcorntalks11 5d Alpha is a fun, energetic spy thriller that knows how to deliver big screen entertainment. Alia Bhatt and Sharvari bring plenty of intensity, and the action has a strong visual punch. I especially liked seeing a female led story take the spotlight in the YRF Spy Universe. Not perfect but definitely an enjoyable watch with some memorable moments. See more Aly G @Aly13G 6d Brilliant action and nice storyline executed well. My only concern is that there are too many slow-motion in the action scenes. See more Read all reviews
