“The biggest strength of Alpha is Alia Bhatt. The makers have played their strongest card well. That unevenness becomes Alpha's biggest problem. The film keeps piling on twists, and while a few works, the constant barrage eventually becomes exhausting.

“Instead of building intrigue, the screenplay focusses more on building shock value. Alia and Sharvari, as Sita and Durga, are forces in their own right. They are never damsels waiting to be rescued. They see danger coming, make decisions and fight their own battles.”

“Alia Bhatt throws herself into the role with conviction, grounding scenes that often demand more from her than the screenplay is willing to provide. Sharvari matches her with equal commitment, embracing the physicality of the action with confidence and proving she belongs in this space.

“Anil Kapoor lends authority whenever he appears. Bobby Deol, meanwhile, continues to lean on the brooding, silent villain persona that has become his trademark. The deadpan expression, the glowering stare and the minimal dialogue may once have felt intimidating. Here, it begins to feel repetitive.”
