Overview
- Netflix confirmed Thursday that Alpha will begin streaming on its service on August 28, making the film widely available over the Raksha Bandhan weekend.
- Alpha stars Alia Bhatt and Sharvari, was directed by Shiv Rawail and produced by Yash Raj Films, and includes a cameo by Hrithik Roshan connecting it to the wider YRF Spy Universe.
- The film opened in theatres in July after multiple schedule changes and earned roughly ₹99–100 crore worldwide on a reported ₹100 crore budget, a return many outlets described as modest.
- Critics and audiences gave mixed responses, with reviewers praising the lead performances and technical action set pieces while faulting the screenplay and emotional depth.
- The Netflix debut gives viewers who missed the theatrical run a chance to watch and could reshape the film’s cultural footprint while keeping the Spy Universe’s interconnected storyline in circulation.
