Alpha Trailer Review: Another Disappointment from the Spy Universe?

Alpha has been under constant scrutiny as it marks the return of the YRF Spy Universe after the WAR 2 debacle, and it is releasing after the BLOCKBUSTER Dhurandhar series, which also belongs to the same genre. While Alia Bhatt’s Alpha trailer review from the audiences is mixed, Inside Box Office will analyze the trailer to see if it is as bad as the internet tells you.

Nothing to Wait For

The Alpha (2026 film) trailer lacks merits on a serious level. What are the things that do not fall in place?

• Alia Bhatt is a big misfit
• Sharvari does not impress either
• Bobby Deol’s forced and unnecessary accent
• Laughable dialogues 
• Hollywood-inspired concept of a soldier going against the country

As mentioned in our Alpha official trailer review as well as the Alpha teaser review, the list of such shortcomings is endless. Such shortcomings were expected as the teaser had suggested, but these have been there in addition to:

• Marketing it as the first female action spy entertainer of the universe and then giving the major spot to a prominent male lead in the form of a cameo proves that the hype generator is still the male lead.
• Revealing the whole plot in the trailer, which was anyway predictable.
• Familiar template and visuals that are seen in toothpaste ads and face wash ads.
• Remix of the recent popular party track Jamaican (Bam Bam) by Hughel and SOLTO (FR) takes away the seriousness of the Alpha trailer released.

Out of all the negative aspects, the only promising element is the cat-and-mouse game between Bobby Deol and Anil Kapoor, which serves as a limited merit of the trailer.

Final Verdict

Alpha YRF movie trailer is weak and will not allow the film to take a start at the box office. In the absence of good word of mouth, the film may be a loss-making film, as barring the cameo, no saleable star is present. Yash Raj Films is clearly aware of its lacklustre outcome, and hence, despite producing cameo-filled flicks like Pathaan and Tiger 3, it never showed the key cameos in any of its trailers. But here, they have, which says a lot about the confidence that they have.
