Premiering first in the United States ahead of its Indian release, Kingdom has quickly become the talk of the town. Early reactions from both critics and fans suggest a powerful comeback performance by Deverakonda, who is being praised for delivering what many are calling his “peak performance” and “career-best” role.
Social media is abuzz with praise. A user on platform X wrote, “First half reviews from USA are super, couldn’t be happier for you, @TheDeverakonda.” Another user chimed in with, “Peak Performance of King. @TheDeverakonda and mind-blowing BGM @anirudhofficial. Masterpiece of Indian Cinema… Welcome Our New PowerStar.”
The film’s background score, composed by Anirudh Ravichander, is also receiving special mention for heightening the emotional and action-packed moments in the film.
In India, premiere shows began rolling out earlier today, and initial reviews from domestic audiences continue the trend — positive, enthusiastic, and supportive. The buzz around Kingdom suggests that the film may go on to be a major commercial and critical success.
Directed by a yet-to-be-named filmmaker, Kingdom marks a turning point for Deverakonda, who has faced criticism in recent years for inconsistent script choices. With this film, he appears to have found a project that both utilizes his strengths and connects deeply with viewers.
