The Alpha trailer lays out Alia Bhatt’s assassin-origin story and a Hrithik Roshan crossover. It gives the YRF Spy Universe film a clearer identity, even as it leaves little mystery intact.
The teaser for Alpha left audiences with a simple question: what exactly is this film? The trailer answers that question. It answers several others too. The trailer opens with Alia Bhatt’s character saying, “Let me tell you a story.” By the time the two-minute-and-thirty-four-second trailer ends, one is tempted to politely respond: “Thank you. You told us the whole story.”
Let’s start with the positive. Alpha finally looks like a film with a clear identity. The teaser generated mixed reactions, largely because of its edit, action, lack of emotional connection and, most importantly, the obvious resemblances to many other international films in this genre. The trailer fixes some of that problem, not all of it.
