#AlphaReview – ⭐️ ( 1 Star )
#Alpha is a CRINGE FEST that puts the final nail in the coffin of the Spy Universe.
YRF and its writers have done it yet again. Just like the previous films in the Spy Universe, they’ve once again made an Indian Army officer the primary antagonist who turns rogue against the nation but this time they gave it a terrible twist inspired from Hamza Ali Mazari (Revealed before the climax ) . The film shows him as one of the Indian Army’s top Major-level officers, but later reveals that he is actually a Pakistani terrorist. In doing so, the screenplay makes the Indian Army and RAW look extremely weak, as they fail to identify an enemy who had reached such a high position, making a complete mockery of Indian army and Intelligence .
This time, #BobbyDeol plays that officer, the creator of the “Alpha” super-soldier program. After the Indian Army shuts the project down, he continues running it illegally. Alia Bhatt and Sharvari’s characters are also products of the same Alpha program, giving them abilities that resemble a “Spider-Sense and other powers copied from multiple Hollywood flicks .”
The story is so illogical and absurd that as the film progresses, it makes you feel angry, irritated, amused, frustrated, and completely bewildered all at the same time.
#AliaBhatt, whom I consider one of the finest actresses of our generation, should seriously take an oath never to do another action film. It simply doesn’t suit her. Watching her single-handedly overpower 10–20 men who are over six feet tall is impossible to believe. She neither has the physical presence nor the raw intensity that such a character demands.
As for Sharvari, it feels like more attention was paid to her makeup than to the choreography of her action sequences.
The story is written by Uday Chopra, while the screenplay is by Sridhar Raghavan and Soumil Shukla. Believe me, they’ve managed to surpass even #War2 and #Tiger3 in delivering one of the weakest and most nonsensical scripts in the Spy Universe.
Comparing Alpha with the #Dhurandhar series would be a crime. Its real comparison should be with films like Naam Shabana, Akira, and Dhaakad and even by those standards, Alpha comes across as the weakest of the lot.
Bobby Deol’s character is disappointingly underwritten, and his mixed Haryanvi-Rajasthani accent fails to leave any impact. Anil Kapoor is a terrific actor, but he feels completely out of place in this universe.
Patriotism is virtually nonexistent in the film. Hrithik Roshan’s cameo is the only aspect that is genuinely worth watching.
Shiv Rawail’s direction lacks impact, but it’s hard to blame him entirely. When the writing is this poor, there’s only so much a director can do.
Overall, Alpha is a very poor film. It lacks thrill, substance, and even the kind of action that audiences can genuinely enjoy.
Watch it at your own risk.
