The opening-day figures also drew comparisons with Welcome To The Jungle.
According to Sacnilk, Alpha‘s Rs 9 crore Day 1 collection comfortably surpassed Welcome To The Jungle‘s Day 8 earnings of Rs 4.50 crore net, which came from 7,557 shows. However, the Akshay Kumar starrer had a significantly stronger opening, collecting Rs 15.25 crore net on its first day, leaving Alpha behind in terms of opening-day business.
Since Alpha and Baby Do Die Do, starring Huma Qureshi, released on the same day, comparisons between the two films quickly surfaced online.
On its opening day, Baby Do Die Do earned Rs 0.40 crore net across 778 shows, taking its India gross collection to Rs 0.48 crore. The film’s Day 1 performance remained well behind Alpha, which enjoyed a considerably stronger start at the domestic box office.
