Kingdom Vijay Deverakonda Movie News
Vijay Deverakonda‘s highly anticipated spy action thriller, Kingdom, has finally arrived on the big screens, making waves among moviegoers and fans. Gowtam Tinnanuri-directed Telugu action-drama movie is said to offer an intriguing blend of action, drama, and emotional depth. With some postponements, the film was released in the US on July 30, 2025, and internationally on July 31, 2025, in Telugu and Tamil languages, while the Hindi version, Saamraajya, is limited to single-screen cinemas according to Netflix‘s release policy.
Kingdom Vijay Deverakonda Movie Review
Early word on Kingdom suggests Vijay’s gritty act as a constable on a secret mission, a mix of raw action and emotional drama. The fast-paced film, along with political upheaval and covert operations, has been enjoyed for the breathtaking visuals and Anirudh Ravichander’s thumping music. But enthusiasts trashed the world-building as contrived and had divided views about music weaving and tempo. Bhagyashri Borse debuts as the leading lady, bringing a fresh spark, and the layered narrative keeps the audience interested. Experts describe it as Vijay’s most significant act after Arjun Reddy, which may reposition his box office status.
Kingdom Vijay Deverakonda Movie Release Date
Initially set for March 28, 2025, the release of Kingdom was delayed several times because of production delays and national events, to May 30, then July 4, before a decision on July 31, 2025. The producers cited production delays brought about by unforeseen events and an otherwise dismal national climate to ensure that release dates will coincide with maximum promotion. The simultaneous release, where America is releasing one day prior, has also contributed to the hype, with record pre-release sales globally.
Kingdom Movie Cast
Kingdom boasts a star cast led by Vijay Deverakonda as Suri, an undercover constable who gets himself entangled in an undercover operation. Bhagyashri Borse plays the heroine and provides emotional depth, while Satyadev Kancharana plays an important role, who just so happens to be Vijay’s so-called estranged brother. Supporting actors Rukmini Vasanth, Koushik Mahata, and Ayyappa P. Sharma peel off layers from the dense plot. Jr. NTR (Telugu), Suriya (Tamil), and Ranbir Kapoor (Hindi) lend their voice-overs to provide the pan-India value to the film.
Kingdom Movie Budget
It is ₹130 crores, an elephant risk for Sithara Entertainments and Fortune Four Cinemas. The budget on VFX, fast cars, and locations in Hyderabad, Visakhapatnam, Kerala, and Sri Lanka is an indication of how big it is. For the film to be justified, it will need to gross ₹108 crores globally, and the pre-release guesstimates are that it could well go past that.
Kingdom Movie Rating
Although official ratings vary, Kingdom has been awarded a rating of 8.3/10 on IMDb, reflecting a sweeping opening reception. The viewers like its action sequences as well as Vijay’s rough-around-the-edges image, although some reviews mention loopholes in the plot. The depth of feeling and technical quality of the film make it a likely winner for critical honours.
Kingdom Movie Duration
Kingdom is around 2 hours and 45 minutes, offering a quick but fulfilling ride. Action and character development are well-balanced throughout the runtime, making it difficult to look away. Gowtam Tinnanuri, who directed Jersey and Malli Raava before, directs Kingdom with a focus on story rather than spectacle.
Kingdom Movie Producer
Made on the Sithara Entertainments and Fortune Four Cinemas banner, produced by Naga Vamsi and Sai Soujanya, Kingdom is a big-budget film. A two-part series indicates producers’ confidence in the story’s reach appeal, and Netflix has acquired digital rights for a considerable price tag.
