Alpha OTT Release Date

Netflix confirmed on August 27 that Alpha will begin streaming on the platform from August 28. Sharing the announcement on social media, the streaming service wrote, “Get ready to join the Alpha gang (Heart emoji). Watch Alpha, out 28 August, on Netflix!” The digital release comes less than two months after the film opened in theatres. Directed by Shiv Rawail, Alpha expands the YRF Spy Universe with a story centred on two female agents and their complicated connection.

Alpha Plot And Cast

The film follows Sita, played by Alia Bhatt, a highly trained R&AW agent who is pushed towards becoming an elite Alpha soldier. Sharvari plays Durga Kaul, Sita’s estranged fraternal twin, adding a personal layer to the spy-driven story. Bobby Deol plays Colonel Fateh Singh Lakhawat, the main antagonist. His experiments involving a powerful serum called Alpha become central to the narrative. Sita is kidnapped and brought under his control, eventually being transformed into a super-soldier.

The official plot summary describes the protagonist as someone driven by revenge who uncovers hidden truths about her own life while taking on anyone who gets in her way. Anil Kapoor also features in the film, while Hrithik Roshan makes a cameo appearance as his War character Kabir.

Alpha Box Office Performance

Despite its franchise connections and star cast, Alpha had a relatively modest theatrical run. The film was reportedly made on a budget of around Rs 100 crore and collected approximately Rs 58.86 crore net in India. Its overseas earnings stood at about Rs 29.05 crore, taking the reported worldwide gross to Rs 99.10 crore. The film finished as the eighth highest-grossing Bollywood release of 2026 and became the lowest-grossing film in the YRF Spy Universe so far.
