Vijay Deverakonda roars as pan-India’s next superstar as Kingdom earns Rs 39 crores worldwide on day 1

Vijay Deverakonda has arrived — not just as a star, but as a force to be reckoned with. His latest release, Kingdom, stormed into theatres yesterday and has already taken the cinematic world by fire. Earning an astonishing Rs 39 crore worldwide on its opening day, the film has marked one of the strongest debuts for a South Indian actor in recent memory. The message is loud and clear: Deverakonda has transcended regional boundaries and cemented his place as Pan-India’s next big superstar.

From the moment the trailers dropped, Kingdom promised an emotionally intense and action-packed ride — and Vijay has delivered on every count. Known for his fearless choice of roles, he has outdone himself this time, portraying a character layered with pain, vulnerability, and raw strength. Critics are calling it his most compelling performance to date, while fans are flooding social media with praise, hailing it as his "career-defining" role.

The film’s impact is visible not just in numbers but in the feverish response across cities. Housefull shows in Hyderabad, thunderous applause in Mumbai and Bengaluru, and strong numbers from international markets — the film has unified audiences like few others. The hashtag #KingdomStorm is trending, with fans sharing emotional reactions, unforgettable dialogues, and scenes that moved them to tears.

But what truly elevates Kingdom is the soul Vijay breathes into it. He doesn’t just act — he immerses. His portrayal traverses anger, heartbreak, and redemption in a way that grips the viewer long after the credits roll. It’s a rare mix of commercial appeal and artistic depth.

With Kingdom, Vijay Deverakonda has roared louder than ever before. The box office may be celebrating his numbers, but Indian cinema is celebrating a new benchmark. The era of Deverakonda as a Pan-India superstar has well and truly begun.
