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.

"Kingdom" (2025) is a film that ultimately struggles to captivate, despite a truly terrific and excellent performance from Vijay Deverakonda. While Deverakonda delivers on his promise of a strong portrayal, the film's narrative execution, particularly in its storytelling and screenplay, falls significantly short of making it an engaging cinematic experience.

Vijay Deverakonda is undoubtedly the film's greatest asset. He carries the movie with his intense screen presence and delivers a compelling performance that stands out. His dedication to the role is evident, and he proves his capabilities even when the material around him falters.

However, the core narrative of "Kingdom" feels underdeveloped and lacks a cohesive flow. The storytelling struggles to maintain momentum, making it difficult for the audience to stay invested in the plot. The screenplay appears to be one of the film's major weaknesses, preventing the story from unfolding in a consistently engaging manner. This leads to parts of the film feeling rather average and failing to capture the viewer's full attention.

While the film may boast impressive visuals or a strong background score (as per other reviews), these elements are ultimately overshadowed by the uninspired plot and its execution. The lack of a gripping narrative arc means that even the high points don't land with the impact they should.

Overall, "Kingdom" (2025) is a film that might appeal to fans of Vijay Deverakonda, who delivers a noteworthy performance. However, its weak story narration and unengaging screenplay prevent it from being a truly satisfying or memorable cinematic outing.

Kingdom blends myth and legend, refugee drama, stylized action along with good visuals and standout BGM by Anirudh. It's the bgm, and screen presence of VD and Satyadev that carries the film more than the narration. The story is reminiscent of recent films like Retro and that's why it feels familiar. The first 15 minutes or so upto the title card is probably the best scene in the first half, or even in the entire movie. But the second half seems to falter a bit with more drama, and some predictable plot twists. The pre climax and climax scenes were well shot. In short, they've tried to make something memorable, but since it heavily borrowed from recent films, it's predictable, and yet partially satisfying for a one time watch. It's one more popcorn movie, don't expect something extraordinary from Kingdom, and it won't disappoint.

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.

Storyline pace is good but not very engaging still watchable.

Vijay worked very hard to fit in its character,his work shows his hard work and dedication.

Character building of all characters where good overall. Only some characters are poorly presented.

Only Anirudh's BGM can't do Magic, you have to work hard to fit in it.

• No Song that's the Good Part.

Story is good but I as an audience have watched many movies like this one, wanted more action, thrill and entertainment.

I was not expecting much from this film.

I will not say any other movie references for this film ya somewhere you'll feel once But it's okay because the movies genres are going through that tunnel of old school stuff with new shoes.

Action scenes were okay okay but Raw.

Storyline is Good but don't see that much effort to make an impact that character really matters, I personally don't felt connected.

Overall a good watch. Good one by Vijay after many years. Wink.
