Alia Bhatt’s Alpha Is Trailing Behind Dhurandhar 2 in a Big Way

Alia Bhatt looking intense in a scene from her new movie Alpha
  • The lowdown on Alpha’s ticket sales.
  • Why Dhurandhar 2 is winning the race.
  • Our thoughts on the movie’s aesthetic.

We just saw the first-day booking numbers for Alia Bhatt’s Alpha. It’s a bit of a shocker. Honestly. We expected more buzz.

Sacnilk just dropped the report. Alpha is struggling to keep up. It might only earn 1/10th of what Dhurandhar 2 is making right now. That is a huge gap. One movie is flying. The other is barely off the ground.

The movie has a very cool, dark aesthetic. We love the visual style Alia always brings to her roles. It looks gritty. Sharp. But will the vibe be enough to save it? Fans seem to be flocking to the other side.

Maybe everyone is busy shopping on Flipkart? Or maybe they are watching Spain FC highlights. Lamine Yamal is everywhere lately! Even Penelope Cruz is trending on Zee5. There is so much going on right now.

If you need a break from the box office drama, check out how Vicky and Katrina just gave us the ultimate monsoon goal. It’s much more relaxing. Or maybe see why Steven Spielberg is bringing ‘The Mandela Catalogue’ to the big screen. We are literally shaking.

We are also keeping an eye on those Taylor and Travis wedding details. Could the NYPD really have leaked them? Wild. Times are crazy.

Our Take

We really want Alia to win. She is a powerhouse. But Dhurandhar 2 is a total beast at the box office. We hope the movie finds its feet soon. Visuals are great, but tickets need to sell too. Let’s see if the weekend helps.
