‘Alpha’: Alia Bhatt’s entry scene impresses the audience

They say first impression is the last impression, and it seems YRF took note of it seriously. Though the entire film impressed the audience, Alia Bhatt’s entry scene had a different impact. “THE GREATEST ALIA BHATT ENTRY SCENE IN CINEMA HISTORY. PERIOD. Forget everything you’ve seen her do before. Shanaya? Gangubai? Rani? Erase them from your memory because Sita aka ALPHA has arrived, and her introduction scene is an absolute, face-melting masterclass in screen presence,” read another post.
