Alpha collected Rs. 25 lakh on its third Friday, dropping by 55 per cent over the previous day. The spy action drama, directed by Shiv Rawail, took its running cume to Rs. 53.70 crore nett at the Indian box office. The movie is now running in its final phase. Based on current trends, the movie is looking to close its entire running cume at Rs. 56 crore nett in India.
That’s a disappointing total for such a well-budgeted film. Alpha turned out to be a flop at the box office. The Alia Bhatt and Sharvari starrer is going to lose around Rs. 25 crore. Results could have been worse, but the opening day salvaged the scenario to a certain extent. Without the Rs. 9 crore start, it could have tanked under the 30 crore mark too. Nonetheless, it’s still a flop, but one can take a flop at Rs. 56 crore rather than one at Rs. 30 crore.
Historically, female-led action films have struggled to attract audiences at the Indian box office, making this a risky proposition to begin with. The challenge for Alpha was further compounded by the YRF Spy Universe being at a low ebb following the underperformance of Tiger 3 and, more significantly, War 2. The fact that this film, with everything going against it, has managed to get off the ground is a minor positive to go with.
