Alia Bhatt’s latest film, Alpha, is gearing up for its digital debut after a challenging time at the box office. Directed by Shiv Rawail and produced by Yash Raj Films, Alpha is notable as the first female-led entry in the studio’s popular Spy Universe. Despite its high-profile cast and the anticipation that followed its initial teaser release in June, the film struggled to connect with theatre audiences.
Alpha features Alia Bhatt in the lead, joined by Sharvari in a prominent role. The film also boasts appearances from Bobby Deol and Anil Kapoor, while Hrithik Roshan makes a cameo as Kabir, linking Alpha to the broader Spy Universe. The film’s theatrical performance did not meet expectations, even though Bollywood had looked to Alpha as a potential revival for the spy genre following a series of underwhelming big-budget releases earlier this year.
Now, Alpha is set to stream on Netflix starting August 28, 2026, in Hindi. There has been no official word yet on dubbed versions for other languages. The digital release offers Alpha a fresh opportunity to reach a wider audience, especially among fans who may have missed it in cinemas. With its action-packed narrative and strong performances, viewers will soon be able to judge for themselves whether Alpha finds greater success on OTT than it did in theatres.
