The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalogue in 3D

The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens

Alpha is a 2026 Indian Hindi-language action thriller film directed by Shiv Rawail, in his feature film debut, and produced by Aditya Chopra under Yash Raj Films. Written by Soumil Shukla, Shridhar Raghavan, Ishita Moitra and Uday Chopra, it is the seventh installment in the YRF Spy Universe, starring Alia Bhatt, Sharvari, Anil Kapoor and Bobby Deol. The film follows a highly trained assassin raised in isolation as a super-soldier by a rogue commander. When she discovers the dark truth about her family and her stolen childhood, she teams up with her long lost sister to take down her creator and his illicit military program. Following a title announcement in July 2024, principal photography began in the same month, taking place in Mumbai, Jammu and Kashmir, and Valladolid. Alpha released theatrically on 3 July 2026, and received mixed-to-negative reviews from critics and audiences. It is currently the 10th highest-grossing Hindi film of 2026.
