The Vijay Deverakonda-starrer Kingdom, which had a release in July, is all set for its streaming premiere after a theatrical run of 27 days. The action-thriller directed by Gowtam Tinnanuri will begin streaming on Netflix on August 27, the streamer announced on Monday.
Besides Telugu, the film will also be available in Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam and under the title Saamrajya in Hindi. Produced by Sithara Entertainments, Kingdom told the story of a small-time constable who is sent on a high-stakes mission to infiltrate a gang in Sri Lanka, a gang that is headed by his long-lost brother. While Vijay Deverakonda played the lead role, Satya Dev played the role of the elder brother. The film also starred Bhagyashri Borse and Venkitesh KP among others.
In our review for the film, we noted, “It’s not that Kingdom is a bad film, but the film never soars or lives up to the true potential of its themes. Gowtam’s previous work Jersey, was as simplistic and straightforward a story as they get. On the other hand, Kingdom has too many things on its platter, and ends up doing a disservice to most of them.”
Reportedly made on a budget of Rs 130 crore, Kingdom struggled at the boxoffice after an impressive start. The film’s gross collections stand at Rs 82 crore worldwide, according to a report from boxoffice tracker Sacnilk.
