‘Kingdom’ Review: A Missed Opportunity for Vijay Deverakonda

The film, ‘Kingdom’ highlights Vijay Deverakonda’s potential, his appearance alone holding a certain fascination. The actor’s physical transformation is evident, but the film itself is criticized for its hollowness. The story follows Surya, a police officer, tasked with a mission that lacks clear motivation. The plot feels disjointed and the characters are underdeveloped. The film’s ambition is undermined by a lack of focus, resulting in a narrative that veers between different genres without fully committing to any. The visually impressive cinematography cannot compensate for the weak storyline and the film’s overall failure to engage the audience.
