Alia Bhatt’s Alpha Day 1: Why Is Everyone Skipping This Spy Movie?
- The shocking Day 1 numbers for Alpha
- Why fans are giving it a thumbs down
- How it compares to other YRF spy films
We just saw the early box office reports for Alpha. They are not great. This was supposed to be the next big thing for the YRF Spy Universe. Instead, it feels a bit flat.
Alia Bhatt and Sharvari are the stars here. They look tough. The posters have this gritty, moody aesthetic that we usually love. But the vibe in the theaters is very quiet. One word: Disappointing.
Negative reviews are popping up everywhere. This might be the lowest opener the spy franchise has ever seen. It didn’t even come close to beating the hype for War 2. People just aren’t showing up.
Maybe fans are too busy with other news. For example, Ranveer Singh just won the ‘Best Cousin’ award at a wedding in Goa. Or they are following the drama with Deepak Choudhary being stuck in Dubai. There is a lot going on.
Even internet stars like Dhruv Rathee are trending more than this movie. People are also waiting for Hera Pheri 3 news. Even Patti LuPone is making more noise with her cruise ship ban than this film is at the ticket counter.
Our Take
As art lovers, we think the movie looks stunning. The visual style uses sharp shadows and deep neon colors. It is very pretty to look at. However, a movie needs more than just a cool look. It needs a story that sticks. Right now, it feels like all style and no substance. We really wanted to love this one!
