Alpha Audience Review and Reactions Out Now
As the movie releases in theatres, social media is buzzing with the response from the audience, and the initial reactions seem to be mixed or average.
Sharing their review of the movie, one social media user wrote, "#Alpha Movie Review 2.5 stars Hrithik Roshan's cameo is the only moment that truly brings excitement and relief to the film. Apart from that, the movie feels average and never really reaches its full potential. The story, pacing, and overall impact are just okay."
Another user wrote, "First half done ! #Alpha. Good start. Alia's entry & the action sequence were really good, She's doing well. I did feel the pacing was off at times, with a few scenes & convo feel stretched. Sharvari good. Still feel Luthra should've been there instead of Anil. He feels dull."

A third user reacted, "#alpha First Half One-Word Review: Average. The story is a flop, but the action scenes are good. The music is a complete disappointment. Alia fails to impress, while Bobby Deol and Anil Kapoor deliver solid performances. Sharvari's acting is just okay."
A fourth user commented, "#Alpha 1st half review: Plot is a combination of concepts from multiple Hollywood movies, but if you ignore that, it's not bad at all… quite interesting to watch, not getting bored at all until now. It's very tightly edited."
Check out some of the responses below:
Alpha has witnessed low to decent advance booking and at the current trajectory it may open lower than Alia's last release Jigra.

However, if the word of mouth improves as the day progresses, Alpha may put up a fight with opening day closer to Rs 10 crore.
