Before the release of ‘Alpha’, there is a discussion whether this movie of Alia will be able to create history at the box office. The answer to this is hidden in the film report card of the last 10 years of Alia.
Strong phase started from 2016
In the year 2015, Alia Bhatt’s movie ‘Shaandaar’ was a flop. But the year 2016 proved to be the turning point of Alia’s career. Films like ‘Udta Punjab’, ‘Dear Zindagi’ and ‘Kapoor & Sons’ proved that she is not just a glamorous star but also a powerful actress. All three films received immense love from critics and audiences. ‘Dear Zindagi’ made with Shahrukh was a hit. At the same time, his acting in ‘Udta Punjab’ was highly praised.
2017 was also Alia’s year
‘Badrinath Ki Dulhania’ came in the year 2017 and was successful at the box office. This 45 crore movie did a worldwide business of 202 crores. Varun Dhawan was opposite Alia in this movie.
‘Raazi’ made a trustworthy star in 2018
‘Raazi’, released in 2018, made Alia a reliable box office star. A women-centric film did great business and proved that Alia can draw the audience to the theater on her own.
‘Gully Boy’ created a stir in 2019
After this, ‘Gully Boy’ also performed brilliantly and his popularity reached new heights. I liked her pairing with Ranveer Singh very much. Made for Rs 75 crore, this movie rained money at the box office. Did domestic business of Rs 130 crore and worldwide business of Rs 234 crore. However, this year Alia’s movie ‘Kalank’ was released, which flopped at the box office.
2020 was not Alia’s year
Alia’s movie ‘Sadak 2’ came in the year 2022. In this, Sanjay Dutt, Aditya Rao Kapoor shared the screen with him. This movie released on OTT was not that successful.
2022 was the golden year of career
2022 was no less than a dream for Alia. Films like ‘Gangubai Kathiawadi’, ‘RRR’, ‘Brahmastra’ and ‘Darlings’ presented him in different styles. His acting in ‘Gangubai’ was highly appreciated, while big films like ‘RRR’ and ‘Brahmastra’ further strengthened his stardom.
International entry in 2023
In 2023, Alia entered Hollywood through ‘Heart of Stone’. Whereas ‘Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani’ also performed well at the domestic box office. This made it clear that his popularity was not limited to India only.
2024 Shock from ‘Jigra’, but…
‘Jigra’, released in 2024, could not perform as per expectations at the box office. However, critics praised Alia’s acting. This is the reason why ‘Alpha’ is not just a new film for him, but is also being considered as an opportunity for a big commercial comeback.
