Bollywood has recently seen release of two female-led action thrillers-Alia Bhatt and Sharvari’s Alpha and Huma Qureshi’s Baby Do Die Do on July 3, 2026. While Alpha has received mixed reactions despite its strong visuals and action sequences, Baby Do Die Do is winning praise for Huma Qureshi’s performance and being a independent production film.
Social media users have been actively comparing both films, with many sharing their honest opinions on which one deserves more attention.
Alpha Receives Mixed Reactions Online
Alia Bhatt, Sharvari, Bobby Deol and Anil Kapoor starrer YRF spy movie Alpha has sparked discussions across social media. While some viewers appreciated its action scenes of female leads, others criticised its story and certain plot points. Directed by Shiv Rawail and written by Uday Chopra the film has reportedly crossed Rs 31 crore on the third day of it’s release.
One user wrote, “Dhurandhar showed Pakistan’s RAW chief as traitor because we’ve seen countless cases while Alpha portrayed India’s RAW head as traitor when we’ve never heard of anything like this.”
Another user questioned the online reactions of Pakistani actors by writing, “Bro what tf is even happening ?? Earlier Iqra Aziz, now Mahira Khan. She told media that she’ll never give fire to the India vs Pak debate as India gave her work. Now she’s praising Alpha just because it showed how a Pakistani can fool RAW for 20 years.”
Trade analyst Taran Adarsh also shared his review on X, writing, “Weakest film in the #YRFSpyUniverse… Brilliant action set pieces, stunning visuals, and a few well-executed sequences, but the writing simply doesn’t connect… Missed opportunity! #AlphaReview.”
Baby Do Die Do Wins Appreciation
Huma Qureshi’s Baby Do Die Do has received positive reactions, especially for the actor’s performance.
One viewer wrote, “Just watched Baby Do Die Do and I’d say it’s a decent watch. The story is nothing new, but the way it’s presented keeps you interested. The background score, visuals, and overall vibe work really well. Huma Qureshi is easily the best part of the film. She completely disappears into the character and carries the movie from start to finish. The supporting cast also plays their part well.”
Another social media user praised Huma, saying, “Huma Qureshi delivers one of her most powerful performances yet in Baby Do Die Do. Intense, fearless, and utterly captivating from beginning to end she owns every scene with unmatched brilliance. This is a performance that truly stays with you. Absolutely worth watching.”
Fans Compare Alpha And Baby Do Die Do
As discussions continued online, many users compared the two female-led releases. One post read, “Before people start blaming the audience not supporting women led films for the failure of Alpha, do go watch Baby Do Die Do! A woman led action thriller that actually needs the audience’s attention.”
The contrasting reactions have made both films a major topic of discussion among movie lovers.
Both Alpha and Baby Do Die Do offer different viewing experiences. If you enjoy large-scale action, stylish visuals and the YRF Spy Universe, Alpha may appeal to you. If you prefer performance-driven storytelling and an independent action thriller, *Baby Do Die Do* is worth considering. Ultimately, the better choice depends on your personal taste.
