Kingdom Box Office Day 2: Vijay Deverakonda Scores Rs. 4.11 Cr in Telugu States
Actor Vijay Deverakonda has returned to form with his latest action drama Kingdom, directed by Gowtham Tinnanuri. Released on a non-holiday Thursday, the film managed to register the biggest-ever opening in Vijay’s career so far — an impressive feat considering it hit theatres on a working weekday.
The momentum continued on Day 2 (Friday), which also didn’t benefit from any holiday boost. Yet, Kingdom managed to hold steady and strong. As per the official update from the production house, the film collected a distributor share of ₹4.11 crore in the Telugu states on Friday.
Nizam Leads the Way
Among all territories, Nizam contributed the highest share, reaffirming Vijay Deverakonda’s strong box office pull in the region. Trade analysts are calling it a “solid hold” for a working day, boosting the film’s chances of emerging as a commercial success.
Critical Reception: Decent to Positive
While not universally acclaimed, Kingdom has received decent reviews from critics, praising the stylish action, strong production values, and Vijay’s charismatic screen presence. Gowtham Tinnanuri’s direction and narrative style have also been appreciated by fans and reviewers alike.
