Vijay Deverakonda
's latest release 'Kingdom', directed by Jersey fame Gowtam Tinnanuri, is facing a tough time at the box office in its second week. While the film opened strongly during its initial release days, the numbers slowed down considerably, with collections dipping sharply in recent days.
Box office numbers
According to early estimates from trade tracker Sacnilk, 'Kingdom' managed to collect only Rs 26 lakh on its second Monday on Day 12. This brings the film's total domestic box office collection to Rs 50.94 crore across all languages so far.
In its first week, Kingdom earned an impressive Rs 47.35 crore, with Rs 43.7 crore coming from the Telugu version and Rs 3.65 crore from the Tamil version. However, the second-week figures tell a different story.
On Day 9, the second Friday, the film collected Rs 1 crore, followed by Rs 1.25 crore on Day 10, the second Saturday, and Rs 1.08 crore on Day 11, the second Sunday.
Theatre occupancy
The film recorded an overall Telugu occupancy of 12.81% on Monday, August 11, 2025. Morning shows saw 13.04% occupancy, which rose slightly to 14.67% in the afternoon. Evening shows dropped to 12.16%, and night shows slid further to 11.36%.
Directed by Gowtam Tinnanuri, known for the acclaimed film Jersey, Kingdom narrates the story of Surya "Suri," an undercover police constable operating in Sri Lanka to dismantle a smuggling syndicate while reconnecting with his estranged brother. Despite the film's ambitious premise and Vijay Deverakonda's strong screen presence, the film received a mixed critical response.
On the work front, Vijay Deveradkmda has two upcoming projects that he has announced, one is tentatively named the 'SVC59' and the other is 'VD14'.

Sandhya Mridul recalls how she was just 'done' with Bollywood after some bitter experiences but Yash Chopra persuaded her to do 'Saathiya': 'I told him role is boring'
Sandhya Mridul 's journey began on the small screen, where she rose to prominence with Mahesh Bhatt 's acclaimed television series Abhiman. In a candid conversation, she revealed that Bhatt's habit of praising her acting in front of influential industry figures led to a wave of film offers. But the reality of the Hindi film industry didn't sit well with her, especially the tendency to reduce female actors to mere 'pretty faces.' After repeatedly being approached for superficial roles and even being asked to appear in bikinis, she unexpectedly got a call from Yash Raj Films for a pivotal role in Saathiya. 'I got a call saying that Yash Raj Films is trying to call me. I thought somebody is pranking me because I was a TV actor and I had not worked for three months during that time,' she recalled. When she finally met Yash Chopra , her first thought was, 'I met Yash ji himself and I was like why is he meeting me?' Chopra's warmth took her by surprise. 'Chopra told me, 'Bache I love you. I love your work. I don't leave a scene of your TV show, Koshish. My wife wants to meet you. Also, she loves you, we love you.' He was lovely. He told me, 'Beta, ye picture kar le. This film will do well.'' To his astonishment, Sandhya turned him down. 'Mereko pictures nahin karni hai,' she told him, explaining that she simply didn't understand Bollywood. Laughing at the memory, she added, 'I said this to the king of Bollywood.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Dermatologist: Just Add 1 Drop Of This Household Item To Any Dark Spot And Wait 3 Minutes Undo But instead of being offended, Yash Chopra only admired her honesty. 'You are a truthful person. We are not like that. Hum achhe se rahenge, hum bade pyaar se tereko rakhenge,' he assured her, persuading her to at least meet the film's director. That meeting with Shaad Ali took an unexpected turn when Sandhya realised they shared a past connection, which made her more open to the idea. Still, after watching the Tamil original, she wasn't impressed with the character. 'I came to Shaad and told him role 'it is boring',' she admitted. It was Yash Chopra's final words that sealed the deal for her. Sandhya recalled, "He told me, 'You do this role according to you. You will breathe life into this role, and that's why I am bringing you in.' His encouragement made all the difference."

Rajinikanth's Coolie Becomes First Tamil Film To Cross $2 Million In US Premiere Pre-Sales
Last Updated: Rajinikanth's Coolie makes history as the first Tamil film to cross $2M in US premiere pre-sales, surpassing Kabali, Leo and Ponniyin Selvan: Part 1. Lokesh Kanagaraj's Coolie, headlined by Rajinikanth, is already rewriting box office history before its release. Sun Pictures, the film's producers, confirmed that the action drama has crossed $2 million in premiere pre-sales in North America — making it the first-ever Tamil film to achieve this milestone. With two days still to go before its worldwide release on August 14, Coolie has overtaken the advance booking numbers of Vijay's Leo and Mani Ratnam's Ponniyin Selvan: Part 1. More significantly, Rajinikanth has broken his own record set by Kabali in 2016, which held the previous top spot at $1.9 million for US premieres. Sharing the news on social media, Sun Pictures wrote, '#Coolie varraan solliko! #Coolie is the First Tamil film to cross $2 million in premiere pre-sales in North America. #Coolie releasing worldwide August 14th." Fans erupted with excitement online, hailing it as a 'Rajinikanth mass" moment. One user declared, 'The movie will create a new history," while another celebrated, 'Already record broken." A devoted fan noted, 'With 2 days left, #Coolie overtakes #Kabali and creates history. Record maker & Record breaker #Thalaivar #Rajinikanth." By surpassing $2 million with days to spare, Coolie has secured its place ahead of Tamil cinema's previous premiere pre-sale leaders. After Kabali, the list had Leo (2023) in second place, The GOAT (2024) third, Ponniyin Selvan: Part 1 (2022) fourth, and Jailer (2023) fifth. About Coolie According to the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC), Coolie follows 'a mysterious man [who] takes a stand against a corrupt syndicate exploiting and abusing the workers of a port town" in an intense action drama. The film marks Lokesh Kanagaraj's first collaboration with Rajinikanth and boasts an ensemble cast featuring Nagarjuna, Nimma Upendra, Soubin Shahir, Shruti Haasan, and Aamir Khan in pivotal roles. With massive advance sales, star power, and Kanagaraj's action-packed storytelling, Coolie is set for a grand opening not just in India, but globally. The hype suggests August 14 could witness one of Tamil cinema's biggest premieres to date. First Published: August 12, 2025, 23:45 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

War 2 Hindi Advance Booking Update: Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR's actioner sells 78,000 tickets in top chains for Thursday, with 1 days to go
War 2, directed by Ayan Mukerji, and starring Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR and Kiara Advani among others, continued with good bookings in India for the Hindi version. With the opening of bookings in the southern states, there was a significant increase in the film's momentum. With just one day to go, the actioner has sold 78,000 tickets in top chains like PVRInox and Cinepolis for the opening day, and the final count seems to be around 150,000-175,000 tickets. This sets the movie up for an opening day in the vicinity of Rs 30 crore, with a potential to reach Rs 35 crore net. War 2 Sells 78,000 Tickets In Top Chains With 1 Day To Go In Hindi; Gears Up For A Rs 30 Crore Plus Net Start; Telugu Bookings Start Well War 2 's bookings in Telugu states have started on a heartening note. Jr NTR fans have been aggressive with the bookings in the twin state. Obviously, the collections are not like a quintessential Tollywood movie because it is seen as a Bollywood film at the end of the day, limiting its potential. But, they are pretty solid. It will likely take the third biggest Bollywood opening for the Telugu dub, only behind Saaho and Adipurush. War 2 Will Aim For A Rs 50 Crore Plus Day 2 In Hindi War 2 will aim to smash Rs 50 crore plus net on Independence Day, for the Hindi version alone. All that the movie really requires is good reports to unleash its potential. The clash of War 2 with Coolie never felt like too big of an issue initially. However, Coolie has done extremely well to make inroads in markets where War 2 looked to be like the clear favourite. War 2's International Bookings So Far Are Strictly Ordinary War 2's international bookings so far are ordinary. A USD 2.5 million opening day and USD 8 million opening weekend is on the cards. The global opening weekend of War 2 looks to be in the Rs 300 - 350 crore range, as compared to Coolie, which is cruising towards Rs 400 crore. Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more updates.
