What the critics say

Most critics credit Alia Bhatt's committed action work and single out Hrithik Roshan's cameo, but call Alpha a derivative, overplotted spy thriller sunk by weak writing, melodrama and a sidelined Sharvari.

How this number was made. We read every review and derive a 0–100 reading from each — including where the critic printed a number, which stays first on its row, because it’s theirs. The Filmi Score is the mean of 13 readings; 6 of those rows also carry the critic’s own rating, shown beside ours. Rubric v2.1, computed 26 Oct 2026. Any critic can ask us to remove a derived reading.
