4 min readJul 3, 2026 02:12 PM IST Alpha movie review: Alpha, the much-awaited female-led edition of the YRF spy universe is finally here, and all I can say is that it isn’t worth the wait. Not because Alia Bhatt doesn’t strain every sinew to play Alpha, her slight frame belying her skills as a highly trained fighting machine, nurtured by the numero uno soldier Fateh Singh (Bobby Deol). Not also because as Alpha’s second-in-command, Sharvari isn’t too bad herself, getting a few solo scenes in which she shows her moves. Both Bobby Deol’s fauji and Anil Kapoor’s RAW chief are clearly working hard at their job descriptions: the former is convinced that Alpha is the answer to all weakness amongst the armed forces; the latter wants to save her from all her enemies, of whom she is oblivious. What prevents Alpha from being a slick, smart spy thriller — which is clearly the intention — is that old YRF weakness: the writing is borrowed and stale, reminding us of numerous films we have seen …
