Vijay Deverakonda’s Kingdom is riding high on growing anticipation, setting the stage for a blockbuster opening at the Indian box office.

Despite his recent flops, this Tollywood spy thriller, directed by Gowtam Tinnanuri, has gained momentum thanks to its impactful trailer and a well-received pre-release event.

The failure of Hari Hara Veera Mallu has shifted audience attention to Kingdom, boosting its pre-release traction. The film is expected to rake in 17–19 crore net on its opening day, surpassing Liger’s ₹15.95 crore debut in 2022, making it Vijay Deverakonda’s strongest box office launch to date.
