Alpha Review
In an NDTV review, Radhika Sharma gave Alpha 3 out of 5 stars. She wrote, “The first half of the film is solid and crisp, but Alpha runs out of steam as it reaches the second half. There are many Hollywood references, too. If you are an MCU fan, you’ll easily find a Captain America, a Wolverine, and a Black Widow. There’s Game of Thrones too.” Click here to read the full review.
