Vijay Deverakonda’s latest spy action thriller, Kingdom, directed by Gowtam Tinnanuri, hit theaters on July 31, 2025, and sparked a wave of reactions on Twitter (now X). The film, touted as the first part of a duology, has fans buzzing about Vijay’s intense performance while also advising moderation in expectations. Here’s a dive into the Twitter frenzy surrounding Kingdom and what netizens are saying.

Vijay Deverakonda’s Comeback Steals the Spotlight

After a string of box office setbacks like Liger and The Family Star, Vijay Deverakonda is making waves with Kingdom. Fans are calling his portrayal of an undercover constable his “peak performance.” One user gushed, “Vijay Deverakonda is back with a bang! His raw energy in #Kingdom is unreal 🔥.” Others praised his emotional depth, with a tweet noting, “VD’s acting in Kingdom will earn him massive respect. He’s poured his heart into this role.” The actor’s rugged avatar and action sequences have clearly struck a chord, with many hailing it as a career-defining moment.

Anirudh’s Music and Gowtam’s Vision Win Praise

The film’s electrifying background score by Anirudh Ravichander is another highlight. Tweets like “Anirudh’s BGM in #Kingdom is pure fire 💥” reflect the composer’s impact. Director Gowtam Tinnanuri, known for Jersey, has also earned accolades for his storytelling. A user wrote, “Gowtam Tinnanuri weaves magic again. #Kingdom’s first half is a slow burn that hooks you!” However, some noted minor pacing issues, with one tweet stating, “Strong first half, but the second half dips slightly. Still, a solid watch.”

Mixed Reactions: High Hype Meets Measured Advice

Despite the enthusiasm, some fans cautioned against inflated expectations. A tweet read, “#Kingdom is good, but don’t go with sky-high hopes. Enjoy it for VD’s performance and the action.” Others echoed this, saying, “Vijay delivers, but the story isn’t flawless. Manage your expectations for max enjoyment.” These balanced takes suggest Kingdom is a crowd-pleaser but not without flaws, particularly in pacing and narrative depth. Nani’s cameo also stirred excitement, with one user tweeting, “Nani’s surprise appearance in #Kingdom is epic!”

Box Office Buzz and Future Prospects

With strong advance bookings and a reported budget of 130 crores, Kingdom is poised for a solid opening, though it may not crack the top five Telugu openers of 2025. Fans are optimistic about its global appeal, especially with dubbed versions in Tamil and Hindi. A tweet predicted, “#Kingdom will rule the box office if the second half delivers!” As Vijay eyes a comeback, Kingdom could mark a turning point in his career.

Final Thoughts: A Promising Start to a Duology

Kingdom has ignited Twitter with praise for Vijay Deverakonda’s stellar performance, Anirudh’s music, and Gowtam Tinnanuri’s direction. While some urge tempered expectations due to minor flaws, the film’s emotional depth and action-packed sequences make it a must-watch for fans. As the first chapter of a two-part saga, Kingdom sets a high bar for what’s to come.
