Yash Raj Films’ much-hyped spy thriller Alpha has opened to a largely mixed response, with early reactions on social media leaving many fans of the YRF Spy Universe worried.
One aspect drawing significant criticism is Bobby Deol’s character. Alpha is about a Pakistani operative infiltrating the Indian Army and rising through the ranks, a plot point that has sparked intense debate online.
Many movie lovers have compared the premise to the recent hit film Dhurandhar, where the character of Ranveer Singh joins a Pakistani gang as a spy.
Social media platforms are flooded with comments calling the film a cheap copy of Dhurandhar, while some viewers have even described it as the weakest entry in the YRF Spy Universe.
The criticism has also led to questions about the future of the franchise. Several users have suggested that YRF should reconsider expanding the spy universe further if stronger stories are not developed.
