The Alia Bhatt and Sharvari-starrer Alpha has completed its first week in theatres with an estimated collection of Rs 45.10 crore nett at the Indian box office. While the action thriller opened on a promising note and delivered respectable weekend numbers, weekday collections witnessed a significant decline, impacting its overall trajectory.
Released as part of a major action franchise ecosystem, Alpha generated considerable curiosity before release. The film attracted audiences during its opening weekend, supported by strong marketing, franchise recognition, and the popularity of its lead cast. However, sustaining that momentum proved difficult as the film entered the weekdays.
Trade estimates indicate that the film collected between Rs 2 crore and Rs 2.25 crore nett on Thursday, taking its seven-day total slightly above the Rs 45 crore mark.

| Friday | Rs 9.00 Crore |
| Saturday | Rs 11.50 Crore |
| Sunday | Rs 12.50 Crore |
| Monday | Rs 3.50 Crore |
| Tuesday | Rs 4.00 Crore |

| Total | Rs 45.10 Crore |
The film’s strongest period came during its opening weekend, when audience interest translated into healthy footfalls across major urban markets. However, weekday trends reflected softer demand, leading to a notable drop in daily collections.
With Dhamaal 4 entering cinemas, the competition for screens and audience attention is expected to intensify. The arrival of a major comedy franchise release could further affect Alpha’s theatrical performance during its second week.
Despite the commercial challenges, the film remains a notable project within the evolving landscape of female-led action cinema. Such films have traditionally faced hurdles in attracting large theatrical audiences, making every release an important test for the genre’s growth in India.
The film also represents another significant addition to the broader spy-action universe that has delivered some of Hindi cinema’s biggest commercial successes over the past decade. Industry analysts believe audience expectations for franchise titles continue to rise, placing greater emphasis on storytelling, character development, and theatrical experience.
For Alia Bhatt and Sharvari, Alpha showcases an ambitious action-oriented collaboration that expands their on-screen portfolios. While box office performance remains under scrutiny, the film’s long-term reception will also be shaped by its performance on digital and satellite platforms after its theatrical run.
Looking ahead, trade observers expect Alpha to continue adding collections over the coming weeks, though the pace will largely depend on audience retention and competition from newer releases. The film’s final theatrical total will become clearer after its second weekend performance.
