Alia Bhatt & Sharvari Starrer Set To Register The Lowest Spy Universe Opening By A Wide Margin

Alpha Trailer Impact At Box Office Day 1 (Photo Credit –Instagram) Alpha, starring Alia Bhatt, Sharvari, Bobby Deol, and Anil Kapoor, had its trailer released yesterday (June 17), and while the promo has generated a decent enough response, the box office arithmetic heading into its release tells a slightly different story. Based on the trailer’s impact and overall buzz, Alpha is eyeing a double-digit opening at the Indian box office. However, it would be the lowest day 1 collection in the history of YRF’s Spy Universe, and that too, by a wide margin. The Dhurandhar effect has put the Spy Universe under a microscope The timing of Alpha’s release is not in its favor, and that has nothing to do with the film itself. The Dhurandhar franchise, which presented the spy genre in a far rawer, bolder, and more grounded avatar, has recalibrated what Indian audiences expect from a spy thriller. In the process, it has drawn comparisons with the more polished and stylized template that the YRF Spy Universe has traditionally followed. As a …

‘Spy turtles’ & ‘spy fish’ near China’s coast: Xi busts Taiwan’s desperate ops to outplay Beijing?

‘Spy turtles’ & ‘spy fish’ near China’s coast: Xi busts Taiwan’s desperate ops to outplay Beijing?

Published by Parlour News

Published on Jun 15, 2026 08:45 am IST China has issued an extraordinary warning: foreign spy agencies are allegedly using “spy turtles” and “spy fish” – marine animals fitted with sensors – to snoop on its coastal waters and naval activities. Researchers, fishermen, and vessel owners have been urged to report suspicious devices, and previous cases have seen Chinese anglers rewarded with tens of thousands of dollars for turning in alleged spy gear. What makes this even more explosive is the timing: the warning comes as China steps up seabed mapping near Taiwan, fuelling speculation that both Beijing and its rivals are racing to dominate the underwater battlespace before any future conflict.
