Alpha Box Office Collection Day 7: Alia Bhatt’s Film Struggles, Fails to Cross ₹50 Crore in Week 1

Yash Raj Films’ Alpha has wrapped up its first week at the domestic box office on a disappointing note, with the Alia Bhatt and Sharvari-led spy thriller failing to cross the ₹50-crore mark despite a strong opening weekend.

The first female-led film in the YRF Spy Universe collected ₹34 crore net over its opening weekend, raising hopes of a solid theatrical run. However, the film witnessed a sharp slowdown from Monday onwards, with collections dropping significantly before showing only a brief improvement on Tuesday.

According to trade tracker Sacnilk, Alpha earned an estimated ₹2.60 crore net on Day 7 (Thursday), taking its total domestic collection to ₹47.55 crore net after one week in theatres.

The film’s box-office trend has remained inconsistent. After a steep 70% drop on Monday, Alpha managed a slight rebound on Tuesday but slipped again on Wednesday and Thursday, indicating that the initial momentum has faded quickly.

The slowdown is particularly notable because Alpha had initially outpaced the opening-week collections of Alia Bhatt’s previous female-led hits, Raazi and Gangubai Kathiawadi. However, by the end of its first week, the spy thriller had fallen behind both films’ pace.

Tough road ahead

The release of Dhamaal 4 is expected to add further pressure on Alpha by reducing its screen count and limiting opportunities for growth during the crucial second weekend.

Trade experts believe the film now needs a strong turnaround to sustain its theatrical run. Industry estimates suggest Alpha must cross the ₹100-crore net mark in India and around ₹150 crore worldwide gross to recover its costs and emerge as a commercial success.

About Alpha

Directed by Shiv Rawail and written by Uday Chopra, Alpha is the latest chapter in the YRF Spy Universe. The film stars Alia Bhatt, Sharvari, Bobby Deol, and Anil Kapoor, while Hrithik Roshan appears in a special cameo as Kabir from the War franchise.

Despite the franchise’s popularity and star-studded cast, Alpha received largely mixed-to-negative reviews, and its declining collections suggest that audience word-of-mouth has not been strong enough to sustain its box-office momentum.
