Diverse Reactions to Alpha's Teaser

The teaser for Alpha has sparked a variety of reactions. While many online users express disappointment regarding its content and visuals, members of the film industry, including Shah Rukh Khan, along with several cricketers, have praised both the teaser and Alia Bhatt.

On the other hand, some viewers have noted a striking similarity between the teaser and the French thriller La Femme Nikita. This 1990 film, directed by Luc Besson, follows the story of Anne Parillaud, a criminal sentenced to life for killing a police officer during a robbery. The government fakes her death and trains her to become a professional assassin, leading her to navigate the challenges of her dual life.

Interestingly, the same concept was also explored in Dhurandhar, although few have openly acknowledged the resemblance.

This raises the question: Is Alpha simply Alia Bhatt’s version of Dhurandhar inspired by La Femme Nikita?
