After a decent first week at the box office, Alia Bhatt and Sharvari Wagh's spy thriller has entered its second Friday with a slow start. With fresh releases now in theatres, the next two days could play a big role in deciding the film's journey towards the Rs 50-crore mark.
Can Alpha bounce back this weekend? Here's the latest box office report.

The film is also running in fewer theatres than it did during its first week, with the show count dropping to 2,648 as new releases have taken over several screens.
