Why has Alpha been getting trolled on social media?

Alpha generated mixed reactions from the audience upon its release, with several comparisons to the Dhurandhar franchise. The viewers criticised the weak storyline and action sequences, also pointing out why a bikini scene was added to the film, as it did not support the plot. Despite the trolling, Alpha has shown a decent performance at the box office, touching nearly the Rs 60 crore mark worldwide.

However, the questions for the future of the YRF Spy Universe has become the hot topic for Bollywood fans. The negative response to Alpha, War 2 and Tiger 3 has put the spy-verse in jeopardy.
