'Alpha' box office collection day 4: Alia Bhatt's film hit by Monday blues, tops Jigra's lifetime biz

She's got the gadgets. She's got the glamour. She's got... a box office collection that's cratering faster than a bad extraction mission. Alia Bhatt's Alpha is here, and it is not the blockbuster anyone signed up for.

The film was hit hard by Monday blues at the ticket counters, with its daily domestic box office collection dropping by around 70.9%.

Weakest movie in the YRF Spyverse

Due to negative word of mouth and comparisons with the Ranveer Singh-led Dhurandhar franchise, Alpha is the weakest movie in the Yash Raj Films' Spyverse. 

What trade analysts say? 

Commenting on Alpha's box office business, film trade analyst Vishwajit Patil wrote, "The film has completely crashed at the box office today with empty theatres nationwide. It is now crystal clear that the aggressive, full-paid promotion and artificial PR machinery didn't help or benefit the film at the ticket windows. Audiences have outrightly rejected the weak storyline and bad execution." 

Film trade analyst and critic Sumit Kadel said that the film could see some respite on Tuesday due to discounted ticket prices but will face a real challenge this Friday. 

Kadel wrote in a post on X, "While the discounted ticket prices on Blockbuster Tuesday could provide a temporary boost, the overall box office trend remains abysmal. The real challenge begins this Friday with #Dhamaal4 arriving in cinemas, which is expected to significantly reduce Alpha’s screen count and show allocation."

Alpha story, cast

Directed by Shiv Rawail, the spy actioner is the seventh film in the YRF Spy Universe. Alpha focuses on two estranged twin sisters who join forces to defeat a rogue former soldier who uses a dangerous, genetically enhancing serum to create a team of superhuman assassins.
