However, reportedly, the Shiv Rawail directorial was made on a budget of Rs. 100–130 crore, so the film needs to show a huge jump at the box office on Saturday and Sunday.

Alpha Review
The Free Press Journal reviewer gave the film 3 stars and wrote, "Overall, Alpha is not as bad a film as we expected it to be after watching the teaser and trailer. It is a classy action entertainer that you can watch in theatres once for sure. But don't compare it with Dhurandhar, as both are totally different films. Also, Alia Bhatt fans, just book your tickets right away!"
