Our take
Alpha is a Hindi-language YRF Spy Universe action thriller about twin assassins raised in a covert super-soldier program. India rated it U/A 16+. Expect close-quarters martial arts, tactical gunfights, parkour chases, abduction backstory involving a child, and a revenge-driven plot. Best for older teens who handle spy action; not for younger kids
Uplifting themes
Sisterhood and service to country appear amid revenge-driven violence Lead spies show courage and loyalty though methods are lethal
Story (may spoil tone)
When Sita, a highly trained assassin raised in isolation as a super-soldier by a rogue commander, discovers the dark truth about her family and her stolen childhood, she teams up with her long lost sister to take down her creator and his illicit military program.

Talk after watching
- Sita discovers truths about her stolen childhood and family. How do secrets shape who we become?
- The film pairs sisterhood with lethal spy training. When does loyalty to family conflict with loyalty to a mission?
