Alpha Trailer: Alia Bhatt and Sharvari Lead a Fierce Spy Origin Story As Hrithik Roshan's Cameo Sparks Buzz

Mumbai, June 17 - The much-awaited trailer of Alpha is finally here, and it promises a gripping mix of high-octane action and espionage drama. Headlined by Alia Bhatt and Sharvari, the upcoming film marks a significant expansion of the YRF Spy Universe by introducing its first female-led action spectacle.

From the very first frame, Alpha establishes a darker and more intense tone. Alia Bhatt appears in a never-before-seen avatar as a ruthless and highly skilled operative, while Sharvari complements her with equally fierce screen presence and combat-heavy sequences. Together, the duo takes centre stage in what appears to be a deadly origin story packed with betrayal, revenge, and covert missions.

The trailer is loaded with slick visuals and explosive action choreography. Several sequences showcase hand-to-hand combat, large-scale explosions, and stylish chase scenes, positioning Alpha as one of the most ambitious entries in the spy franchise so far. The trailer also confirms that Bobby Deol is playing the antagonist, who trains Alia and Sharvari's characters to seemingly use against India.

The movie also features Anil Kapoor as R&AW chief Colonel Vikrant Kaul. However, one of the major highlights of the trailer is the confirmation of Hrithik Roshan's cameo as Major Kabir Dhaliwal. While the makers didn't reveal his complete look, eagle-eyed viewers spotted what seems to be a brief glimpse of the actor reprising his role from War.

Social media erupted soon after the trailer launch, with fans praising Alia Bhatt's transformation into a full-fledged action hero and celebrating Sharvari's powerful presence. Directed by Shiv Rawail, Alpha appears to blend emotional storytelling with stylised action, aiming to carve out a unique identity within the blockbuster franchise.

With its intense narrative setup and star-studded connections, the film has already emerged as one of the most anticipated releases from the YRF banner. If the trailer is anything to go by, Alpha is set to deliver a thrilling new chapter in the spy universe — one led by two women ready to redefine the rules of the game. It is scheduled to release on July 3.

Top 5 Box Office Weekend Grossers (June 12-14): Haunted 3D and Obsession Emerge Winners As Ram Charan's Peddi Sees A Drop

BY SACNILK

Mumbai, June 15 - The Indian box office witnessed a competitive weekend from June 12 to 14, with a mix of holdover releases and new arrivals attracting audiences across the country. While Ram Charan's Peddi comfortably retained the top position, the biggest success stories of the weekend were Obsession and Haunted 3D, both of which delivered impressive numbers and continued the recent dominance of horror films at the box office. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Peddi emerged as the highest-grossing film of the weekend, collecting an estimated 26.30 crore during the three days. Although the film experienced a noticeable drop from its opening weekend, it continued to attract audiences in Telugu states and remained the top choice among moviegoers. The sports-action drama has already established itself as one of the year's biggest box office successes and is continuing its run despite growing competition. Hollywood horror thriller Obsession secured the second spot with an excellent 17.70 crore weekend. The film once again demonstrated extraordinary staying power, registering strong occupancy across major urban centres. The horror title has become one of the biggest surprise successes of the year in India and is steadily moving toward the 100 crore milestone. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Among the new releases, Haunted 3D: Echoes of the Past delivered the strongest performance. The horror sequel collected approximately 11 crore over its opening weekend and emerged as the best-performing newcomer. The interest in the horror genre helped the film overcome limited screen presence and establish itself as a successful theatrical release. Varun Dhawan, Pooja Hegde, and Mrunal Thakur's Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai put up a decent performance in the second weekend, though the overall collection is still underwhelming. Rounding out the top five was Steven Spielberg's sci-fi Hollywood thriller Disclosure Day. The film found a niche audience in multiplexes and performed reasonably well considering the crowded marketplace.

Cocktail 2 Box Office Projection: Shahid Kapoor, Kriti Sanon, Rashmika Mandanna's Sequel Heading For Double-Digit Opening

BY SACNILK

Mumbai, June 15 - Shahid Kapoor, Kriti Sanon, and Rashmika Mandanna's much-awaited romantic comedy drama Cocktail 2 is showing promising signs at the box office ahead of its release on June 19. The film's advance booking commenced on June 14, and the initial response from audiences has been encouraging, indicating healthy anticipation for the sequel. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) In the first 24 hours of advance sales, Cocktail 2 sold approximately 11,000 tickets (without block seats) for its opening day nationwide, with the current ticket sold count standing at 32,000, with over 2 days still left for the release. While the numbers are still in their early stages, the response suggests that the film has managed to generate considerable interest among moviegoers, particularly in urban multiplex circuits where romantic entertainers traditionally perform well. The positive booking trend has strengthened trade expectations for the film's opening day collection. According to early projections, Cocktail 2 is expected to open in the 12 crore to 15 crore net range in India, which would comfortably place it among the better Bollywood openings of the year. If the film manages to sustain its current booking momentum over the coming days, the higher end of that range could also come into play. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Cocktail 2 First Day Advance Booking Report The original Cocktail, released in 2012, had opened to 10.95 crore net at the Indian box office and went on to emerge as one of the most successful urban romantic dramas of its time. Based on the sequel's early pre-sales performance, Cocktail 2 appears well-positioned to surpass the opening-day collection of the first film and set a new benchmark for the franchise. Importantly, the film still has four full days remaining before release. Industry trends suggest that advance booking activity for major Bollywood releases typically accelerates significantly during the final 48 hours, particularly with spot bookings and last-minute ticket purchases contributing heavily to overall sales. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Directed by Homi Adajania, Cocktail 2 brings together Shahid Kapoor, Kriti Sanon, and Rashmika Mandanna in a fresh romantic tale while carrying forward the brand value established by the cult 2012 hit. The film's music, star cast, and promotional campaign have all contributed to building awareness among audiences. With encouraging advance bookings, strong urban appeal, and a popular franchise name behind it, Cocktail 2 is currently on track for a double-digit opening. The next few days of pre-sales will determine whether the film can push beyond expectations and emerge as one of Bollywood's biggest romantic-comedy openings in recent years.

Haunted 3D: Echoes of the Past 1st Weekend Collection: Rs. 9.35 Cr Net; Misses Top 10 Spot By 7.88%

BY SACNILK

Haunted 3D: Echoes of the Past has completed its opening weekend at the box office, bringing in steady numbers that reflect a focused interest in the horror-mystery genre. As a spiritual successor to the 2011 hit Haunted 3D, this new chapter entered the theaters with a reported budget of 15 crore. After three days of play, the film has managed to secure a net collection of 9.35 crore in India.

Following a Friday opening of 2.50 crore, the collections jumped by 30 percent on Saturday to reach 3.25 crore. Sunday saw a further growth of 10.8 percent, bringing in 3.60 crore. This cumulative performance has pushed the total India gross to ₹11.03 crore, keeping the worldwide gross at the same ₹11.03 crore mark. Given the production scale, reaching nearly 10 crore net in three days is a respectable start, though it still has some ground to cover to reach the break-even point. In terms of occupancy, the 3D format has clearly been the preferred choice for the audience. In the National Capital Region (NCR), the 3D version maintained a consistent overall occupancy of 32.8 percent across both Day 1 and Day 3. The evening shows on Sunday were particularly busy in this region with 44 percent occupancy. In Mumbai, the 3D shows saw an even better response on Sunday with a 35 percent occupancy rate. On the other hand, the 2D version struggled to match these heights. For instance, in Ahmedabad, the 2D version saw 8.3 percent occupancy on Friday, which grew slightly to 10.8 percent by Sunday. These numbers suggest that the 3D gimmick continues to be the primary draw for the franchise. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) With its opening weekend total of 9.35 crore, Haunted 3D: Echoes of the Past currently sits at the 11th spot for the highest opening weekends of 2026. The film narrowly missed entering the elite Top 10 list by just 80 lakhs. Here is the list of the top 10 opening weekend performers of the year so far: Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge – ₹290.94 Cr Border 2 – ₹121.00 Cr Bhooth Bangla – ₹54.25 Cr O Romeo – ₹30.15 Cr Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai – ₹24.00 Cr Mardaani 3 – ₹17.50 Cr Pati Patni Aur Woh Do – ₹17.50 Cr Ikkis – ₹13.15 Cr Chand Mera Dil – ₹11.00 Cr The Kerala Story 2: Goes Beyond – ₹10.15 Cr National chains like PVR, INOX, and Cinepolis contributed significantly to the Sunday totals. On Day 3 alone, these chains sold approximately 11,300 tickets, generating a gross of 36 lakh. PVR led the pack with 16 lakh in gross from 393 shows, followed by INOX at 11 lakh and Cinepolis at 9 lakh. Across the entire weekend, over 23,660 tickets were sold through these major national chains. Ticket sales on BookMyShow also stayed healthy, with 51,450 tickets booked in the last 24 hours of the weekend, bringing the total platform sales to 174,150 tickets. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Comparing this performance to the original 2011 Haunted 3D provides an interesting perspective. The first film was a certified hit, ending its run with an India net of 25.37 crore and a worldwide gross of 34.25 crore. While Echoes of the Past has a ways to go before matching those lifetime figures, its current weekend net of 9.35 crore puts it at about 37 percent of the original film's total domestic earnings. For the sequel to replicate the hit status of its predecessor, it will need to maintain a strong grip over the weekdays and avoid a significant Monday drop. The total show count for the weekend reached 10,807 shows, indicating a wide release for a film of this size. The film stars Mimoh Chakraborty alongside Chetna Pande and is billed as a spiritual successor that leans heavily into the gothic horror elements established by Vikram Bhatt. While the niche genre usually sees front-loaded performance, the growth seen on Saturday and Sunday offers a glimmer of hope for a steady run in the coming days.
