Alpha box office collection day 2 (updated live): Alpha, the first female-led film in the YRF Spy Universe, hit theatres on July 3 with Alia Bhatt and Sharvari leading the action. The film has received mixed-to-negative responses from critics and audiences alike. Alpha’s box office performance is now reflecting that lukewarm reception.

On the first Saturday of the film, which is the second day, the film was expected to bring growth. Instead, Alpha saw a steep fall in momentum. Early estimates from trade tracker Sacnilk reveal collections stand at ₹3.11 crore. This collection is from the 4.362 shows recorded.
On Day 1, Alpha opened to ₹9.25 crore net in India. While this is a decent start on paper. But given the scale of the release, it did not meet the usual expectations for a YRF Spy Universe film. The movie was released across 7,534 screens nationwide. The total net collection stands at ₹12.36 crore.
In comparison to other films in the YRF Spy Universe, Alpha has clearly started at the lower end. War 2, starring Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR, collected ₹57.85 crore on its day 2 across 18,228 shows. Shah Rukh Khan’s Pathaan earned ₹70.50 crore India net on its second day in 2023, while Tiger 3, starring Salman Khan, brought in ₹59.25 crore across 19,646 shows on Day 2. Against these numbers, Alpha registers the weakest second-day collection in the franchise so far.
When compared with other recent releases, Rani Mukerji’s cop drama Mardaani 3, released earlier in January, collected ₹6.25 crore on day 2 across 4,830 shows. Alia’s last film, Jigra (2024), also performed better on day 2, with ₹6.55 Cr across 5,859 shows.
About Alpha
Directed by Shiv Rawail, Alpha stars Alia Bhatt and Sharvari in the lead, making it the first woman-led film in the YRF Spy Universe. Bobby Deol and Anil Kapoor play pivotal roles, while Hrithik Roshan makes a special appearance as Kabir, returning as the fan-favourite spy from the War films.
Alpha is the newest chapter in the YRF Spy Universe, a franchise that includes Ek Tha Tiger (2012), Tiger Zinda Hai (2017), War (2019), Pathaan (2023), Tiger 3 (2023) and War 2 (2025). Until now, the spy films have been fronted by Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan and Hrithik Roshan. With Alpha, the franchise introduces its first female-led story.
Interestingly, Alpha is Sharvari’s second theatrical release in just a month. Her previous film, Imtiaz Ali’s Main Vaapas Aaunga, is still playing in cinemas, giving the actor two releases at the box office simultaneously.
