As online buzz continues to grow, here’s a look at what Twitter users are saying about Vijay Deverakonda’s Kingdom just hours after its release.

Vijay Deverakonda’s Kingdom has received mixed reactions overall. Some viewers were left impressed and took to Twitter to praise the movie. One X user gave the film a positive review, calling it Vijay Deverakonda’s career-best performance. Another movie buff praised the film’s first half and called it “solid cinema” in a post-interval review. One film enthusiast opined that Kingdom is a good action drama with high production values, and liked the lead performance. On the other hand, another viewer said that Vijay Deverakonda has delivered both mass and class and praised the film’s boat sequence.
#Kingdom is an adrenaline rush from start to finish! @TheDeverakonda delivers his career-best performance.
Gowtam Tinnanuri’s gripping narrative + Anirudh’s goosebump-inducing BGM = BLOCKBUSTER! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

However, others were left disappointed, calling the film a dull and formulaic action drama with little impact. One X user gave the film a negative review and called it unbearable. One film buff called the film “a soulless, dull template action drama with zero emotional connect.” But he praised Vijay Deverakonda and Satyadev’s performances. Another one said that Kingdom has an excellent first half, but the second half is routine. Another viewer also called Kingdom a “strictly below average film”. One movie buff thought the first half was superb, but couldn’t relate to the film’s second half.

#Kingdom – BOREDOM.
A soulless, dull template action drama with zero emotional connect. Only VD & Satydev shine throughout. BGM by Anirudh is an added asset. Pre-climax & villain character show some promise, but that is quickly diluted. Overall a below average watch.
2/5

Part 2 syndrome killed another movie 🙏🏻
First half was built superbly for second half but didn’t quite relate to it 😭#Kingdom— Khaidi No. 7697 (@Allu_Bhai_) July 31, 2025
While many early reviews praised the film’s first half, Vijay Deverakonda’s performance, and a standout boat sequence, others were less impressed with the second half, with some calling Kingdom a below-average film overall. These are just some of the early reactions from Twitter users. It remains to be seen how the film connects with a wider audience and critics over time. The final verdict will be out in the coming days.
