Kingdom

As all anticipated for this movie and come back for vijay , well let me tell you this movie lived upto it's expectations, strong bgm by Anirudh and others characters too lived their roles , i specially appreciate sathya dev for his role , his role left a deep impact in the movie. And Bhagya filling the gaps , you have really watch this only the biggest scenes as possible.

The basic plot and the core characters do have potential, and the first half manages to hold mild interest. But from the get-go, the storytelling feels a bit patchy, and by the time the second half arrives, the film begins to lose steam completely. Many scenes feel flat, emotions don't land as intended, and the narrative never really builds momentum. The climax is just about okay-neither satisfying nor disappointing, just safely passable.

Vijay Devarakonda is a talented actor who has delivered few brilliant performances in the past and a few that fell short but this stands out to be his weakest performance to date.

Satya Dev also brings a grounded intensity to his role.

Bhagyashree looks fine, but her acting doesn't rise above average-it might be time she explores more glamorous roles that play to her strengths.

The rest of the cast are serviceable and do their job without any major highs or lows.

On the brighter side, the technical departments shine. The production values are impressive-locations are picturesque, sets and props are tastefully designed, and the costumes and makeup are neatly done. The cinematography is rich and adds visual appeal, while the background score enhances a few key moments, though it doesn't stay memorable. Two of the fight sequences stand out with slick choreography and decent buildup-they offer some of the film's rare bursts of energy.

The direction doesn't falter entirely, but it doesn't elevate the film either. With a sharper script and more emotional depth, this could have been a far more engaging watch. As it stands, it's a film that plays it safe and ends up being just about tolerable. Not a must-watch by any means, but if the trailers caught your eye or you're a loyal Vijay Devarakonda fan, it might just pass the time.

Went for Gowtham Tinnanuri, but it is the others who shine! A legendary comeback for Vijay Devarakonda after several disappointments and flops. Anirudh's music has clicked here and worked fantastic throughout the film. Cinematography and stunt choreography was stunning. Unfortunately, the story was plain old and the screenplay was told in a flat narration. I hated the portrayal of the Sri Lankan Tamils as smugglers was condemnable. Overall, a decent-ish cinema experience.

People walked in to watch Kingdom hoping this can be the Vijay Deverakonda comeback the audience is rooting for, and performance wise, it completely lives up to those expectations. But the film's screenplay and writing play a faltering part. VD makes a roar with his acting in the film. Satyadev Kancharana also supports really well. Bhagyashri Borse has minimal screentime and her character doesn't leave any impact. The initial runtime of the movie is well written and draws you into its world along the interval block. Other than that, the progression remains gradual. Anirudh's background score plays a strong part in elevating scenes. The camera work is impressive and the frames look cinematically fascinating in storytelling.

The film had immense potential to draw you in 3/3 emotionally but it largely misses those high moments you expect from Gowtham Tinnanuri as a director. When the emotional buildup finally leads to the reveal, the payoff feels flat. The second half suffers in terms of engagement due to underwhelming subplots, an unsatisfying backstory around the 'chosen one' arc, and an antagonist played by Venkitesh VP, whose motivations fail to leave an impact. The climax feels rushed and does not land on a note you would expect from a film with this kind of tonality. Overall, Kingdom scores well in performances and technical aspects but falters in its storytelling and emotional resonance.

OVERALL 6/10.

The first half of the movie was somewhat watchable. But the second half was extremely slow, which was completely unexpected! The movie ended up being a total disappointment. I had thought this would be Vijay Deverakonda's comeback film after Liger-but I was disappointed once again.

Lately, it seems that no matter how average a movie is, people are desperately trying to make sequels-2nd, 3rd, or even 4th parts!

Perhaps the director thought he was creating a masterpiece, but instead, he made garbage.

If you have extra time on your hands, you can give it a watch.

Thank you, everyone.
