Alia Bhatt's 'Alpha' Box Office: High Hopes, Low Market Confidence

Alia Bhatt and Sharvari's upcoming spy action drama 'Alpha' has sold 38,000 tickets in national cinema chains during advance bookings, suggesting a potentially strong opening.

However, the film enters a market where female-led action movies have struggled. Previous releases like 'Jigra' and 'Mardaani 3' underperformed. The recent lukewarm reception of other films within the YRF Spy Universe, including 'War 2' and 'Dhurandhar,' has also tempered pre-release anticipation for 'Alpha.'

Industry analysts are observing whether 'Alpha' can overcome these historical trends and current subdued buzz to achieve significant box office success.
