While several viewers praised Bobby Deol's commanding screen presence and lauded the performances of Alia Bhatt and Sharvari, many singled out Sharvari as the film's biggest surprise. Some early reviews also appreciated the stylish action and engaging twists, though a few felt the story was average despite the strong performances.
#BobbyDeol looks commanding from scene one in #Alpha. It's still too soon to say anything but Colonel Lakhawat seems to be the driving force of the film.
