The teaser of Alia Bhatt's upcoming film Alpha has generated mixed responses from the audience. While a majority of netizens feel it is underwhelming in terms of content and visuals, the film fraternity, including Shah Rukh Khan, and even cricketers have showered the teaser and Alia with the highest praise.
Comparisons to French Thriller
The less enthusiastic sections of the people have found an uncanny likeness in the trailer to a French thriller. La Femme Nikita was a 1990 French-language action thriller film written and directed by Luc Besson. The film starred Anne Parillaud as a criminal who is convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment for murdering a policeman during an armed robbery. Her government handlers fake her death and recruit her as a professional assassin. After intense training, she starts a career as a killer, in which she struggles to balance her work with her personal life.
Similar Premise in Dhurandhar
The same premise also propelled the film Dhurandhar, though no one has dared to point out the uncanny resemblance. So, is Alpha Alia Bhatt's Dhurandhar via La Femme Nikita? The question remains unanswered as the film's team has not commented on the allegations.
