The Telugu film Kingdom, starring popular actor Vijay Deverakonda, is ready to make its digital debut after failing to perform well in theatres. Made with a huge budget of Rs 130 crore, the spy action thriller struggled at the box office. Now, after 25 days in cinemas, it will start streaming on Netflix from August 27, 2025. The film will be available in five languages Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam.
Vijay Deverakonda’s Kingdom Set for Netflix Release
Directed by Gautham Tinnanuri, known for Jersey, Kingdom had created big expectations before release. Fans were excited to see Vijay Deverakonda in a stylish spy role. However, despite the buzz, the film could not draw large crowds to theatres. According to reports, it earned Rs 82.02 crore worldwide, including Rs 60.79 crore in India and Rs 21.25 crore overseas. These numbers were far below what was expected, making it a commercial disappointment.

The film tells the story of Suri (played by Vijay Deverakonda), a constable who turns into a spy. His mission is to find his missing brother Shiva (Satyadev), who has disappeared in Sri Lanka. During his dangerous journey, Suri faces powerful enemies, including Murugan (Venkitesh), the son of cartel leader Odiyappan (Baburaj). Along the way, Dr. Madhu (Bhagyashree Borse) helps him, and romance blooms between them.

The Netflix release date also holds a special meaning for Vijay Deverakonda. It marks the 8th anniversary of his cult hit Arjun Reddy and the 3rd anniversary of his Bollywood debut Liger. Fans see this as an important day in his career, even though Kingdom could not match the success of his earlier films.
Reviews for the film were mixed. Some praised the action sequences and Vijay’s performance, while others felt the story was weak and the pace slow. With its OTT release, there is hope that Kingdom may get a second chance and reach a wider audience who missed it in theatres.
Whether the Netflix audience will give Kingdom the success it missed at the box office remains to be seen. But one thing is sure Vijay Deverakonda’s star power will continue to draw attention, no matter the platform.
