Alpha box office Day 4: Alia Bhatt's spy thriller earns Rs 63 crore globally

Actors Alia Bhatt and Sharvari's Alpha maintained a steady pace at the box office on Day 4, taking its worldwide gross collection to Rs 63.64 crore. Despite a strong opening weekend, the YRF Spy Universe film continues to perform below expectations.

In Short

• Alpha added Rs 3.85 crore on Monday to domestic collection
• The film's India nett stands at Rs 37.85 crore after four days
• Worldwide gross crossed Rs 63 crore, yet below expectations

Actors Alia Bhatt and Sharvari's Alpha continued its steady run at the box office on Monday, adding another Rs 3.85 crore to its domestic tally after a strong opening weekend. Despite witnessing consistent collections, the YRF Spy Universe film is yet to match the high expectations associated with the franchise, taking its worldwide gross past Rs 63 crore in four days.

According to trade website Sacnilk, Alpha collected an estimated Rs 3.85 crore nett in India on Day 4 across 6,997 shows. With this, the film's total India nett collection stands at Rs 37.85 crore, while its India gross has reached Rs 45.34 crore.

Internationally, the action thriller earned Rs 1.50 crore on Monday, taking its overseas gross to Rs 18.30 crore. Its worldwide gross collection now stands at Rs 63.64 crore.

Alpha had opened with Rs 9.25 crore nett in India on Friday and recorded a worldwide opening of Rs 16.10 crore. The film showed growth over the weekend, with collections improving on Saturday before earning Rs 13.25 crore on Sunday, registering a 15.2 per cent jump over the previous day.

By the end of its opening weekend, the Shiv Rawail directorial had collected an estimated Rs 34 crore nett in India and Rs 58.80 crore worldwide.

Despite the steady weekend trend, the film's overall performance has been viewed as underwhelming for a YRF Spy Universe title, particularly considering its wide release across 7,534 screens in India.

The film has also received a mixed response from critics. In its review, India Today rated Alpha 2.5 stars, appreciating Alia Bhatt's performance as Sita while criticising the screenplay for its inconsistency.

A part of the review read, “That unevenness becomes Alpha’s biggest problem. The film keeps piling on twists, and while a few works, the constant barrage eventually becomes exhausting. Instead of building intrigue, the screenplay focusses more on building shock value.”

Directed by Shiv Rawail and written by Uday Chopra, Alpha released in theatres on July 3. The seventh installment in the YRF Spy Universe also features Sharvari, Anil Kapoor, Bobby Deol and Dia Mirza in key roles.
