Shubhra Gupta The Indian Express Jul 6
1.5/5
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 before. Go to Full Review
Simon Abrams RogerEbert.com Jul 6
3/4
Its action, much like its humorless dialogue and sudsy interpersonal relationships—and yes, even its standard-grade nationalism—is polished to a uniformly satisfying sheen. Go to Full Review
Anupama Chopra The Hollywood Reporter India Jul 3
At the end of my War 2 review, I had suggested that perhaps women will save the day for the YRF universe. They don’t not because they aren’t good enough but because they aren’t given the right narrative ammunition. And that is the THR bottomline. Go to Full Review

1.5/5
Director Shiv Rawail's half-hearted diversion from the male-dominated genre means to give the girls their due but only ends up failing their cause in a generic, lacklustre actioner. Go to Full Review
Sarah Manvel Movies We Texted About Jul 26
Alpha also is about bodily autonomy, the selfish choices men make for women, and the importance of a happy childhood. And within a blockbuster setting, those ideas are new. Go to Full Review

Rajshekar T @RT62846179 1d My family really enjoyed this movie. It's packed with action and emotion, and the locations were fantastic. It had everything we were hoping for, and we were never bored for a single second. Honestly, we wish we'd caught it in theaters instead of watching on Netflix. See more faha Q @RT88543821 1d Honestly, the movie feels like another unnecessary attempt to portray Pakistan and Pakistanis through hatred and hostility. There is a difference between showing conflict, politics or terrorism and portraying an entire nation as the enemy. The storyline also feels unrealistic, with far too much action and many scenes that simply don’t make sense. Instead of making the film more convincing, the excessive action makes it feel exaggerated and disconnected from reality. Filmmakers have every right to tell stories, but repeatedly making movies that fuel hatred between two nations is disappointing. Ordinary Indians and Pakistanis share so much in culture, language, food, traditions and history. We don’t need more films teaching people to hate each other. Please stop glorifying hatred and unnecessary violence. Make films that are realistic, meaningful and promote humanity rather than division. 🕊️ See more Akanksha P @Popcorntalks11 2d Alpha is a fun, energetic spy thriller that knows how to deliver big screen entertainment. Alia Bhatt and Sharvari bring plenty of intensity, and the action has a strong visual punch. I especially liked seeing a female led story take the spotlight in the YRF Spy Universe. Not perfect but definitely an enjoyable watch with some memorable moments. See more Aly G @Aly13G 3d Brilliant action and nice storyline executed well. My only concern is that there are too many slow-motion in the action scenes. See more Arwa P @RT62465710 3d I don’t get the negative reviews of this movie. It was a breath of fresh air watching 2 women kicking ass on screen and they both have done such a great job. Alia looks like a dream and initially I was skeptical if she can pull this off as she is petite and looks so cute but she definitely brought it!! You go girl! Sharvari definitely brings a lightness in the movie and a contrast to Alias character. Yes, it was not perfect and I don’t like the whole Pakistan angle all the time - this stale narrative must change in the movies, quite sick of it. But I enjoyed the action and the performances and Hritiks cameo was just delicious, lol. Overall a great movie and I enjoyed it. The Indian audience really needs to level up, I don’t get the low ratings TBH. I thought this was so much better than War or Pathaan- which was terrible. We need more female driven movies where they are not just pretty dolled up heroines but characters who can kick ass, perform stunts and have depth. See more Monika S @RT64263880 5d Two women who were illegal science experiments before they were even born, powered by mystery juice, throwing shit everywhere. See more Read all reviews
