According to the makers, the film explores the emotional and human cost borne by families searching for missing loved ones, while examining themes of power, accountability and resilience.

The first teaser of Alpha signals more than a new spy thriller. As the YRF Spy Universe's first female-led film, starring Alia Bhatt and Sharvari, it could expand the franchise's storytelling ambitions and shape its future direction.

Anurag Kashyap's Bobby Deol-starrer Bandar has collected ₹3.92 crore gross in India after six days, with the film showing a strong opening weekend before witnessing a sharp decline in weekday collections.

David Dhawan's comedy entertainer Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai has collected ₹32.80 crore net in India by Day 6, with the film continuing its theatrical run across 5,600 shows nationwide.

Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai maintained a commanding lead over Bandar on Day 4, earning nearly ten times more and playing in significantly more cinemas, highlighting a stark contrast in audience turnout and box office performance.

Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai is proof that Bollywood's 1990s masala formula can no longer be copy-pasted for modern audiences. As nostalgia turns into cringe, the film exposes how much viewers have evolved.

Hema Malini emotionally accepted the Padma Vibhushan on behalf of late actor Dharmendra, honoured posthumously for his decades-long contribution to Indian cinema.

Dhurandhar has overtaken the YRF Spy Universe to become Indian cinema’s highest-grossing franchise, with just two films narrowly surpassing the six-film Yash Raj-backed action series at the worldwide box office.
