Overview

  • Netflix confirmed on Thursday that Alpha will begin streaming on Friday, August 28, 2026, making the film available to a global audience immediately after its theatrical window.
  • Alpha opened in cinemas on July 3, 2026, and is directed by Shiv Rawail with Alia Bhatt and Sharvari in the lead roles.
  • The film centers on twin sisters caught up in a serum‑driven military program and names Bobby Deol as the principal antagonist; the description avoids revealing key twists or the ending.
  • Reports cite a reported production budget near ₹100 crore and a worldwide gross of about ₹99.10 crore, which industry coverage describes as a modest return compared with other entries in the YRF Spy Universe.
  • The movie ties into Yash Raj Films’ Spy Universe with a cameo by Hrithik Roshan’s Kabir, and its Netflix release could boost viewership for the franchise and reshape how studios measure success after mixed reviews.
