Alpha, starring Alia Bhatt and Sharvari, released theatrically on July 3, 2026, and is set to stream on Netflix after its cinema run. The OTT premiere is expected around late August 2026, following the standard 6–8 week post‑theatrical window that most Bollywood films follow. This marks another major addition to the YRF Spy Universe, which continues to expand with high‑profile releases.
The film, directed by Shiv Rawail, features Alia Bhatt as Sita, Sharvari as Durga, and Bobby Deol as the antagonist Fateh Singh Lakhawat. While the movie opened to mixed reviews, audiences praised the performances and action sequences, though some criticized the predictability of the storyline. Despite this, the film has maintained strong buzz thanks to its star cast and franchise appeal.
Netflix has acquired the digital streaming rights for Alpha, ensuring a global release on the platform. This continues YRF’s collaboration with Netflix for Spy Universe titles, giving fans worldwide access to the film. At present, Alpha has only been released in Hindi, and it remains to be seen if dubbed versions will be added when it arrives on OTT.
Based on industry trends, the OTT release is expected by mid‑August to late August 2026. While no official confirmation has been made, this timeline aligns with the usual release pattern for Bollywood films transitioning from theatres to streaming platforms. Fans are eagerly awaiting the announcement, as the digital debut is expected to give the film a wider reach.
The storyline of Alpha revolves around a secret program designed by Fateh Singh Lakhawat to raise assassins with enhanced abilities. Alia Bhatt’s character Sita discovers her stolen childhood and vows revenge, teaming up with her sister Durga. The film blends espionage, family drama, and high‑octane action, making it the first female‑led spy thriller in the YRF universe. With its OTT release on Netflix, Alpha is poised to gain a second wave of popularity among audiences who missed its theatrical run.
