Alpha Twitter review: Netizens call Alia Bhatt, Sharvari's action movie 'average'. Hails Hrithik Roshan's cameo

The latest film in the YRF Spy Universe, Alpha, has finally hit theatres today (July 3). Directed by Shiv Rawail, the movie marks a milestone as the franchise's first female-led spy action thriller, with Alia Bhatt and Sharvari playing two elite agents. Bobby Deol appears as the main antagonist, while Anil Kapoor has a key role. As fans rushed to catch the first-day-first-show, social media quickly filled with reactions, and the early verdict has been a mixed one.

Netziens review Alia Bhatt, Sharvari's Alpha

Several moviegoers praised Alpha for its stylish presentation and action-packed sequences. One X (formerly Twitter) user described the film as an exciting watch with impressive visuals and twists that keep viewers engaged. The reviewer especially appreciated Alia Bhatt's performance, saying she dominates the film, while Sharvari also won praise for her screen presence. The user hinted that the surprise cameos added to the overall experience without revealing any spoilers.




Another viewer felt the first half offered an original setup and well-executed action scenes. According to the review, while the story initially follows a familiar path, it leaves enough unanswered questions to keep audiences curious. The same user also praised the performances of Alia Bhatt, Sharvari and Anil Kapoor, calling them one of the stronger aspects of the film.

Story and screenplay divide audiences

Not everyone was equally impressed. Some viewers felt Alpha struggled with its screenplay and pacing despite its grand scale.

Giving it 2.5 out of 5 stars, one of them wrote, "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 fan admitted they were eagerly waiting for Hrithik Roshan's appearance throughout the film, believing his entry would inject more energy into the narrative. The post suggested that the film needed a stronger push in the second half and hoped the cameo would provide that momentum.

A few social media users also criticised the first half for relying on familiar spy-film formulas. One viewer pointed out that several sequences felt unrealistic and compared parts of the story to earlier action films. While the user appreciated Alia Bhatt's fight scenes, they felt the writing lacked freshness and the execution became repetitive.



Another reviewer described the opening half as confusing and uneven, saying the film seemed to follow a predictable template with too many illogical moments. The user added that they were disappointed by the storytelling but remained hopeful that the second half would improve.




Although opinions remain divided, one aspect that has received consistent appreciation is the effort put in by the lead cast. Alia Bhatt and Sharvari's performances, particularly during the action sequences, have been highlighted by several viewers, even by those who were less convinced by the screenplay.
