Alia Bhatt’s Alpha Faces Backlash Over Dhurandhar Comparisons

Alia Bhatt’s Alpha Under Fire for Plot Similarities

Alia Bhatt’s latest outing, Alpha, has landed in the spotlight for reasons beyond its high-octane action, as early reactions reveal a divided audience. Known for her versatile performances, Alia leads this Yash Raj Films-produced spy thriller, which is being discussed heavily within Tollywood and Bollywood circles.

Directed by a prominent filmmaker under the YRF banner, Alpha also stars Bobby Deol in a pivotal role. The film’s story, focusing on a Pakistani operative infiltrating the Indian Army, has become a hot topic online. Many film enthusiasts are drawing parallels to the recent hit Dhurandhar, where Ranveer Singh’s character infiltrates a Pakistani gang, sparking accusations that Alpha is borrowing too much from its predecessor.

Social media has amplified these concerns, with several users labelling Alpha as “the weakest entry in the YRF Spy Universe.” Some fans are even calling it a “cheap copy of Dhurandhar,” leading to debates about the creative direction of the franchise. The uproar has not gone unnoticed, with discussions surfacing about whether Yash Raj Films should rethink further expansions of its spy universe if more compelling narratives aren’t delivered.

With the response still unfolding, all eyes are on YRF to see how the studio responds and what course it charts for the future of its spy universe.
