Dhurandhar Raises Bar, Viewers Reject Alpha Hype

Dhurandhar’s Boom Spells Trouble for YRF

Updated 23:00 Dec 12, 2025

With Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar breaking major box office records, viewers are responding strongly to its raw and realistic style. You see the film win praise for its grounded tone and the way it presents its world. Many feel it raises the bar for the genre.

The film’s success now puts pressure on upcoming spy stories. Users say matching Dhurandhar’s intensity and rawness will be tough. They also compare it to films from YRF’s Spy Universe and troll the exaggerated settings and unreal storytelling that often make those films hard to watch.

A user pointed to the upcoming film Alpha, featuring Alia Bhatt, Sharvari and Bobby Deol. The story follows two agents from India and Pakistan, played by Alia Bhatt and Sharvari, who join forces to stop a rogue RAW agent played by Bobby Deol. The plot has already sparked blunt reactions online.

Users have declared Alpha a disaster even before release and say YRF Studios may push it directly to OTT. Many jokingly trolled the makers for adding a woke angle with a romantic arc between Alia Bhatt and Sharvari. The frustration shows how tired viewers are of repeated templates.

People now want fresh writing and new ideas. They hope the Spy Universe regains shape after War 2 failed to meet expectations. Alpha releases on April 17, 2026, but users are not interested at the moment. The film needs strong storytelling to shift this mood.
