Kingdom Crosses ₹82 Cr Globally, Faces Slowdown in North America

Kingdom Crosses ₹82 Cr Worldwide, but North American Box Office Faces Slump

Vijay Deverakonda’s recently released pan-India action drama, Kingdom, is off to a decent start at the global box office. The film, directed by Gowtam Tinnanuri, completed its first weekend with a gross collection of ₹82 crore worldwide, as officially announced by the makers today.

While domestic and overseas markets have contributed to the film’s initial success, Kingdom is facing a mixed trajectory in North America.

According to trade sources, the film has collected over $1.65 million across the USA and Canada so far. However, there’s growing concern among trade analysts and distributors, as the film has seen a significant drop after its opening, making its $2.10 million break-even target look uncertain at this point.

To ensure profitability for its overseas buyers, Kingdom will need to regain momentum over the coming weekdays and maintain strong footfall into the second weekend. Whether the film can rally and meet its expectations abroad remains to be seen.

Backed by Sithara Entertainments and Fortune Four Cinemas, and featuring music by Anirudh Ravichander, Kingdom stars Satyadev, Bhagyashri Borse, and Venkitesh in key roles alongside Vijay Deverakonda.

Rajinikanth’s Coolie Sets New Record in USA, Clashes with War 2 This Independence Day Weekend

Superstar Rajinikanth is all set to dominate the box office once again with his upcoming gangster action drama Coolie, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj. Scheduled for a grand Independence Day weekend release, the film is heading for a major box office showdown with the much-anticipated War 2, starring Hrithik Roshan and NTR Jr.

Adding to the hype, Coolie features Tollywood superstar Nagarjuna in a powerful antagonist role, making this pan-India project even more appealing to Telugu and Tamil audiences alike.

In the U.S., the film is already breaking records. According to the latest update from the North American distributor, Coolie has sold over 40,000 tickets for its premiere shows across all languages, including the Telugu version. It has already made history by becoming the fastest Tamil film to earn $1 million in North America—a feat achieved purely through pre-sales.

At this rate, Coolie is well on track to surpass the all-time Kollywood premiere record currently held by Kabali, which earned $1.86 million.

Backed by Sun Pictures, the film also stars Aamir Khan, Shruti Haasan, Soubin Shahir, Sathyaraj, and others in prominent roles, setting the stage for one of the biggest multi-starrer events in recent Tamil cinema.

Nithiin and Vikram Kumar Reunite for High-Budget Sports Drama

Mrunal Thakur Faces Setback as Son of Sardaar 2 Flops at Box Office

Mrunal Thakur’s Bollywood Dreams Stumble as Son of Sardaar 2 Fails at the Box Office

Mrunal Thakur’s aspirations of making a strong mark in Bollywood have taken a hit following the box office failure of Son of Sardaar 2. Despite high expectations and a strong promotional campaign, the comedy sequel failed to resonate with both critics and audiences, ending up as a major commercial disappointment.

Headlined by Ajay Devgn and supported by a notable ensemble cast, Son of Sardaar 2 was billed as a mass entertainer. However, lukewarm reviews and poor word-of-mouth led to a sharp decline in collections within days of its release. The film’s underperformance has cast a shadow on Mrunal Thakur’s efforts to transition into mainstream Hindi cinema.

After earning critical acclaim and fan appreciation for her roles in Telugu and Tamil films, Mrunal was banking on Son of Sardaar 2 to solidify her position in Bollywood. Unfortunately, the project’s failure may temporarily stall her momentum in the Hindi film industry.

Despite the setback, Mrunal remains active and focused. She will next be seen in Dacoit, a pan-Indian action drama co-starring Adivi Sesh, which is currently in its final stages of production.

Fans and industry watchers are now looking forward to Dacoit, hopeful that it will mark a turning point in Mrunal Thakur’s evolving career.

Kingdom OTT Release May Include Missing Scenes & Song

Vijay Deverakonda’s Kingdom to Feature Missing Scenes in OTT Version?

Kingdom, the latest film starring Vijay Deverakonda, Satya Dev, and Bhagyashri Borse, and directed by Gowtam Tinnanuri, has completed just five days in theatres but is already generating strong buzz about its upcoming digital release.

While the film has been well-received overall, some viewers expressed disappointment over the absence of Hridayam Lopala, a romantic track heavily featured in the promotional material. Additionally, a much-hyped carnival fight sequence was also missing from the theatrical cut. During the film’s recent success meet, producer Naga Vamsi briefly acknowledged these omissions but did not delve into the reasons behind them.

However, in a recent interaction with Telugu media, director Gowtam Tinnanuri shared that the OTT version of Kingdom may include both the missing song and the action sequence. This extended cut aims to provide fans with a more comprehensive experience, closer to the director’s original vision.

With excitement building—especially among Vijay Deverakonda’s fan base—the OTT release is anticipated for the end of this month. That said, neither the production team nor Netflix has made an official announcement regarding the release date.

Stay tuned for updates as fans eagerly await the enhanced version of Kingdom.

Akkineni’s Manam to Release in Japan on August 8

Tollywood Classic Manam to Release Theatrically in Japan on August 8

Cult Telugu drama Manam is all set for a grand theatrical release in Japan on August 8, 2025 — over a decade after its original release in 2014.

Starring three generations of the Akkineni family — the legendary Akkineni Nageswara Rao (ANR), Nagarjuna, and Naga Chaitanya — Manam is remembered not only for its unique storytelling but also as the last film of ANR, making it a landmark project in Tollywood history.

 Why Japan, and Why Now?

The answer lies in the growing love for Indian cinema in Japan, especially films that highlight family emotions and cultural depth. After the success of films like RRR, Japanese audiences are increasingly embracing Indian movies that focus on relationships and sentiment, not just action.

More specifically, Nagarjuna has built a loyal fanbase in Japan, particularly after his appearance in Brahmastra. Fans there fondly call him “Nag Sama” — “Sama” being a respectful honorific in Japanese, reserved for people of divine or revered status.

 Special Fan Connect

To mark the release, Nagarjuna will join his Japanese fans via a live video call on release day, a gesture that has further excited his overseas admirers.

 A Rare International Revival

While international releases of Indian films are not new, re-releasing an older regional classic in a foreign theatrical market is a rare and bold move. However, the signs are promising — Manam recently had a limited re-release in Hyderabad and played to full houses, proving its emotional resonance remains strong.

What’s Next?

If Manam performs well in Japan, more films from the Akkineni vault — such as Hello Brother, Ninne Pelladatha, and Nuvvu Vastavani — could follow suit, further deepening the cultural bridge between Tollywood and Japan.
