Alpha teaser review: Shiv Rawail rightfully chooses emotion over spectacle, Alia Bhatt embracing gore is delightful

Published by Parlour News

The teaser of Alpha, Yash Raj Films’ long-awaited spy thriller, begins in a manner evocative of Luc Besson thrillers. The film has a older mentor, young female mentee dynamic that were signature of Besson’s Leon and La Femme Nikita. The staging of Alpha’s scene, featuring Bobby Deol and Alia Bhatt, is similar to one in Nikita (featuring Anne Parillaud and Jeanne Moreau). If it was an homage, it is a good choice; if it’s a copy, then it gets at least one thing right: the focus on the actors’ eyes. Alpha teaser review: Alia Bhatt turns action hero in this YRF spy thriller. Alpha teaser has its moments of action and violent deaths. But amid all this, director Shiv Rawail never loses focus on what is important – the emotion. The framing of the scenes – even the action set-pieces – keeps Alia’s face and emotions dead at the centre of it all. That alone is enough to help Alpha stand out from the YRF Spy Universe stable. It may follow a formula, but at …

The next instalment of Aditya Chopra’s ambitious YRF Spy Universe, Alpha stars Alia Bhatt and Sharvari in lead roles, as they’re all set to headline the universe’s first female-fronted tentpole. They’re joined by Bobby Deol, who plays Baba, the mentor of Alia’s character Sita. What’s in the Alpha teaser?

In that scene, Bobby’s character is seen tattooing a young Sita’s arm with the logo of Alpha. The teaser begins with Sita and Baba sharing a toast on her 18th birthday — only for Baba to hand her a small box, gifting her her first-ever spy mission on the special occasion, as soon as she becomes an adult. Sita looks slightly disappointed initially, upon learning that the fancy dinner her mentor organized for her wasn’t in celebration of her 18th birthday, but in celebration of her …
