Kingdom Review:
Starring Vijay Devarakonda and Bhagyashree Borse, Kingdom is directed by Gowtam Tinnanuri who scored decent hits with Malli Raava and Jersey. Let’s see how Kingdom film is.
Story:
Kingdom is a drama set around a police constable named Soori Vijay Deverakonda), who unexpectedly finds himself involved in a high-stakes spy mission. This mission is tied to his estranged brother, Siva (Satyadev), and the story primarily revolves around their journey to reunite.
Performances
Vijay Deverakonda shines in his role as Soori. His performance is sincere and grounded, and he stays true to the character throughout the film. Satyadev also delivers a strong performance as Siva. Their chemistry feels real, even though the script doesn’t provide enough emotional moments to bring their bond to life.
Bhagyashrii Borse, the female lead plays a minimal role. She doesn’t get much screen time and her character doesn’t have much to the story. The supporting cast is solid.
Technical Aspects
One of the film’s strongest points is its technical execution. Cinematographers Jomon and Girish create stunning visuals that elevate the film’s overall look. The rich frames add an appealing touch to the film by making it visually engaging. The music by Anirudh Ravichander complements the visuals, although it doesn’t have the impact it could have if there were more intense action sequences.
Editing by Naveen Nooli could have been tighter, especially in the first half which feels unnecessarily stretched. The production values are solid, and the movie looks rich on the screen with strong attention to detail in the set designs.
Analysis
Directed by Gowtam Tinnanuri, Kingdom brings high expectations due to his previous success with Jersey. Kingdom starts with a well executed introduction sequence and then flows into a proper story based drama with no deviations. There are a few dips here and there but it stays engaging for the most part. Technically very strong. Sets up well for the 2nd half. Vijay Deverakonda’s performance and the high production value help make the film more attractive.
Verdict
The film’s strong visuals and sincere performances by Vijay Deverakonda and Satyadev are its key strengths. However, the slow pace here and there hold it back from being a blockbuster movie. While Kingdom might appeal to viewers who enjoy visual storytelling and grounded performances, it falls short of delivering a fully satisfying cinematic experience.
Final Word
Strong Visuals, High Performances, Average Storytelling
Rating: 2.75/5
