Vijay Deverakonda’s Kingdom First X Review Out
His #VijayDeverakonda film career has been a roller coaster ride! Massive success in the beginning & a dull phase thereafter He stood strong & undeterred and now scripts a great blockbuster with #Kingdom
#Kingdom is an action drama that is technically sound and narratively engaging for the most part, though it loses direction in the final stretch.
Director Gowtham Tinnanuri succeeds in building a compelling narrative around the brothers for the first 90 minutes. The film remains focused, emotionally grounded, and driven by a clear central conflict. However, the final hour falters with scattered subplots and open threads, lacking the clarity needed to deliver an emotionally satisfying payoff…..

#Kingdom is an action drama that is technically very strong and works well on the drama front, though it falters somewhat in terms of emotional depth.
Director Gowtham Tinnanuri succeeds in building a properly engaging narrative in the first half. Although the narration feels flat at times, it remains focused and never deviates from the core story. However, the payoffs typically expected in a genre like this through emotional highs and elevations are relatively less and underwhelming apart from the intro and climax, which do land effectively.
