Alpha box office collection day 5: Alpha, starring Alia Bhatt and Sharvari in the lead roles, picked up the pace at the box office and saw good growth in numbers on Tuesday. The film, which completed its fifth day in cinemas, benefited from strategic ticket prices across major cinema chains. The film, which also marked the first female-led spy action film in the YRF Spy Universe, reportedly witnessed a day-on-day increase in collections on Tuesday.
Alpha box office collection day 5
According to early estimates on Sacnilk, Alpha earned an estimated Rs 4.25 crore net haul. With this, the film registered a 10.4% increase over Monday's Rs 3.85 crore net collection. As per the report, the film also went on to gross an estimated Rs 4.89 crore domestically across 7,173 shows.
The film opened with an estimated Rs 9.25 crore net in India on Friday before witnessing healthy weekend growth. Its collections rose to Rs 11.50 crore net on Saturday, while Sunday emerged as the film's biggest day at the domestic box office, with an estimated collection of Rs 15.90 crore India gross.

The film also maintained a steady run at the overseas box office. As per the report, it collected an estimated Rs 1.50 crore gross on its fifth day. This pushed its overseas gross total to Rs 19.80 crore. This, coupled with the film's domestic collection, has now set the film up for a Rs 70.03 crore global haul.
Sacnilk further reports that the film saw good growth on Tuesday, coinciding with the discounted ticket prices at multiplex chains. This move is expected to boost occupancy and raise footfalls, particularly among families and younger audiences. While most other films face a weekday slump, Alpha, with its strategic ticket pricing, helped it maintain a stable box-office trajectory.
Alpha faces tough competition at the box office
Alpha will now look to sustain its momentum through the remainder of the week. It remains to be seen whether the film can surpass the Rs 100 crore mark by the end of week 1. The film has another undisputed weekend at the box office before it faces off against newer releases, including Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey, which is slated for its release in India next week.

Satluj controversy: Diljit Dosanjh's movie Satluj got released on ZEE5 in India on July 3, but then it was removed from the platform just two days after. That sudden decision kinda sparked pretty strong reactions all over the film industry, and now writer director Anurag Basu is also stepping in, weighing his thoughts on the whole thing. Taking to his X, Basu compared filmmaker Honey Trehan's situation with that of acclaimed Iranian director Jafar Panahi. He wrote, "#Satluj I never thought a day would come when Honey Trehan would face what Jafar Panahi faced in Iran."
#Satluj I never thought a day would come when Honey Trehan would face what Jafar Panahi faced in Iran.
According to AFP, Panahi has faced legal action in Iran over what authorities described as "propaganda activities" against the country. He was sentenced to one year in prison and was also handed a two-year travel ban, along with a prohibition from joining any political or social groups.
What did Zee5 say in its statement?
ZEE5 shared an official statement on Instagram, thanking viewers for the overwhelming response the film received following its release. "The response to Satluj since its release has been truly overwhelming. We are deeply grateful to every viewer who chose to subscribe, watch and champion the film. Your love and support have meant a great deal to us and to everyone who brought this story to life," the platform said.
Satluj may have paused. But the conversation it started hasn't.
Reaffirming its support for the film, ZEE5 added, "At ZEE5, we stand firmly by Satluj and the creative vision behind it. We believe powerful storytelling has the ability to inspire, endure and leave a lasting impact. We remain committed to championing authentic and meaningful narratives."
The streaming platform further confirmed that the film will remain unavailable in India until further notice.
"In light of the current developments, Satluj will be unavailable in India until further notice. We remain committed to exploring every appropriate avenue through due process to bring the film back to our audiences at the earliest opportunity. Our commitment to creators and to stories told with conviction, artistic integrity and purpose remains unwavering," the streamer concluded.
About Satluj and its controversy
Originally titled Punjab 95, the film was submitted to the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) in 2022 but remained stuck in the certification process for nearly three years.
The filmmaker had previously alleged that the CBFC sought 127 cuts to the film. It was also scheduled to premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) in 2023, but the screening was cancelled after objections were reportedly raised by Indian authorities. The film was eventually released on ZEE5 under the title Satluj. It stars Diljit Dosanjh, Kanwaljeet Singh, Arjun Rampal, Suvinder Vicky and Geetika Vidya Ohlyan.

Prasad Film Laboratories has issued a public notice in the June 20, 2026 issue of Complete Cinema magazine asking rightful owners to collect film negatives and other celluloid materials lying unclaimed at its premises in Chennai, Trivandrum, Bengaluru and Hyderabad.
According to the notice, the concerned materials must be claimed within 30 days of the date of publication. The company has cautioned that any negatives or celluloid assets left uncollected after the stipulated period may be permanently destroyed in accordance with prevailing pollution-control norms.
The announcement is significant for producers, studios, distributors, financiers and legal heirs who may have deposited original negatives, prints or related film material with the laboratories over the years. Since many older films were preserved primarily on physical stock, failure to retrieve such material could potentially result in the irreversible loss of valuable cinematic assets.
Stakeholders have therefore been advised to verify their records and immediately contact the relevant Prasad Film Laboratories facility if they believe any material belonging to them remains stored there. Ownership documentation and other supporting records may be required before the material is released.
A source told Bollywood Hungama, “Prasad Lab shut down a few years ago. However, they preserved the negatives in their cold storages and charged a rental for it. Now they are doing away with the cold storage facility as well. Hence, it is important that the message reaches the rightful owners in the industry. In the past, negatives of certain films were destroyed. Now, there’s no copy available of those films at all.”
One famous and unfortunate example is the Manoj Bajpayee-Tabu starrer Dil Pe Mat Le Yaar (2000). In an exclusive interview with Bollywood Hungama on the 25th anniversary of the film, in October 2025, Hansal Mehta said, “The film’s negatives are destroyed. My producing partners had sent the negatives to Adlabs. When Adlabs was shutting down, it sent a notice to the producing partners informing them that ‘all the negatives are with us. Claim them within a month. Or else, we’ll destroy them’. They were given a notice of one month. But either nobody received the notice, or they did but didn’t pay heed to it. Eventually, the negatives were destroyed. So, rather than celebrate the film, I am very sad about the development.”
Hansal Mehta continued, “I asked my producers the other day about the negatives. They had no clue and later, they realized that the negatives were destroyed. So, there’s no record of the film.”
