Monday's collection represents a drop of over 70.9 per cent from Sunday. Alpha follows Sita, played by Alia Bhatt, a young woman raised in isolation and trained into a lethal covert operative by Lt Col Fateh Singh, played by Bobby Deol, the man she has grown up believing is her father. When she uncovers a devastating secret about her stolen childhood, she goes rogue, and her trail leads her to RAW chief Vikrant Kaul, played by Anil Kapoor, and to Durga, played by Sharvari, a tactical operative raised far away in Spain. Directed by Shiv Rawail, who earlier made The Railway Men, Alpha is the seventh film in the Yash Raj Films Spy Universe and the first in the franchise to be led by women. The film released alongside the ongoing run of Welcome To The Jungle, drawing a share of screens away from the Akshay Kumar starrer. The movie's weekday trend, beginning with Tuesday's numbers, will determine the shape of its first-week total.
