Spoiler-free synopsis

Alpha is a 2026 Indian Hindi-language action thriller film directed by Shiv Rawail, in his feature film debut, and produced by Aditya Chopra under Yash Raj Films. Written by Soumil Shukla, Shridhar Raghavan, Ishita Moitra and Uday Chopra, it is the seventh installment in the YRF Spy Universe, starring Alia Bhatt, Sharvari, Anil Kapoor and Bobby Deol. The film follows a highly trained assassin raised in isolation as a super-soldier by a rogue commander. When she discovers the dark truth about her family and her stolen childhood, she teams up with her long lost sister to take down her creator and his illicit military program. Following a title announcement in July 2024, principal photography began in the same month, taking place in Mumbai, Jammu and Kashmir, and Valladolid. Alpha released theatrically on 3 July 2026, and received mixed-to-negative reviews from critics and audiences. The film underperformed at the box office, but is currently the 9th highest-grossing Hindi film of 2026.
