Vijay Deverakonda’s new Telugu film Kingdom has finally hit the screens. Directed by Gowtam Tinnanuri, the movie has been promoted as a big-scale action drama. Fans had high expectations after the trailer showed grand visuals, intense action, and an emotional story.
The story follows a man caught in a power struggle filled with revenge and politics. Vijay plays a fierce yet emotional character. He owns every scene he is in. His action sequences are sharp and powerful, while his emotional scenes connect well with the audience. Many critics have said this is one of his better performances in recent years.
Satyadev Kancharana plays a strong supporting role. His presence adds weight to the film. Bhagyashri Borse appears as the female lead, but her role feels limited and underwritten. The emotional bond between Vijay’s character and his sibling is a key part of the story. Some reviews say this track could have been explored better.
Visuals and Music Stand Out
Kingdom is a treat for the eyes. Cinematographers Girish Gangadharan and Jomon T. John have delivered rich and stylish visuals. The action scenes look grand on the big screen. Anirudh Ravichander’s background score brings energy, especially during the fight sequences. However, the songs have not created much buzz outside the film.
The scale of the production is massive. Social media users have praised the movie’s look and feel. Many called it a proper big-screen entertainer.
Mixed Reviews From Critics
The movie has received a mix of positive and average reviews. Hindustan Times rated it 3.5/5, praising Vijay’s performance and the engaging first half. 123telugu gave it 3/5, calling it a stylish action drama but with a predictable story. Telugu360 gave 2.75/5, pointing out pacing issues in the second half.

Greatandhra felt the movie started well but lost its emotional depth later. The second half relies more on style than substance. Viewers have also drawn comparisons with KGF, Pushpa, and Salaar because of the revenge-and-power theme.
Fans Are Loving Vijay
Vijay Deverakonda’s fans are calling Kingdom a mass entertainer. Many are praising his screen presence and strong acting. The action scenes, visuals, and BGM have impressed most viewers. But some people felt the climax was abrupt, as the film ends on a cliffhanger. It looks like the makers are setting up a sequel.
Should You Watch It?
Kingdom is a visually stunning Telugu action drama. Vijay’s powerful performance and the film’s technical quality make it a good theatre watch. The story is predictable, and the emotional depth could have been stronger. But for fans of action films and Vijay Deverakonda, it’s still an enjoyable ride.
