Kingdom box office collection day 1: Vijay Deverakonda film fails to beat Liger's opening day haul, collects ₹7 crore
How much did Kingdom earn on Day 1?
The report points out that Kingdom collected ₹ 7.54 crore on its opening day. The collections are higher than Vijay's previous release The Family Star, which earned ₹5.75 crore on day 1. However, Kingdom failed to beat the opening day haul od his 2022 release Kushi, ( ₹15.25 crore) and his 2019 release Liger ( ₹15.95 crore)- which is also the highest opening of his career.
Kingdom saw an overall 56.73% Telugu Occupancy on Thursday. The occupancy during the morning shows were at 63.56%, and for afternoon shows it stood at 56.52%. The numbers dropped during the night shows, at 50.12%.
About Kingdom
Kingdom tells the story of a police constable turned spy named Suri, played by Vijay, who goes to Sri Lanka on a mission for the Indian government and to look for his long-lost brother Siva, played by Satyadev. The film also stars Bhagyashri Borse, who plays Suri's love interest. Many viewers who saw the film noted why the film ended with a cliffhanger. Producer Naga Vamsi confirmed at a post-release press meet that a sequel to the film will be made soon.
Kingdom earned positive reviews for Vijay's central performance, although many pointed out issues with the screenplay in the second half. An excerpt from the Hindustan Times review read, 'Vijay finally gets his redemption arc with Kingdom, both as an actor and character. After a long time, you see the theatre actor and the star in him come out. There might be moments where he fumbles, but he quickly finds his footing and plays the varied shades well.'

City-wide carnival planned across Vijayawada for Dasara
Vijayawada: In a major move to elevate Dasara celebrations in the city, the NTR district administration has unveiled plans to organise the Vijayawada carnival, a city-wide annual festival that will coincide with the traditional Kanaka Durga Navaratri festivities. Until now, Dasara in Vijayawada was largely centred on the Indrakiladri hill and the famous Kanaka Durga temple. However, this year, the celebrations are set to expand across the city, turning Vijayawada into a hub of festive activity. With just 60 days remaining for the festival, officials have ramped up preparations. The carnival will feature daily processions and cultural programmes along Bandar Road, aiming to involve people from all walks of life. A major attraction will be helicopter rides from the Indira Gandhi Municipal Stadium, giving visitors a bird's-eye view of the city and its festive glow. Adding to the excitement, the administration is also planning a drone light show every evening at Punnami Ghat, promising a spectacular visual display. Meanwhile, the Krishna district industrial and agricultural exhibition society will host a ten-day film-themed cultural extravaganza at its Gollapudi grounds. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo The programme will include free movie screenings, music concerts, audio launch events, and celebrations of Telugu cinema.

Dhadak 2 Box Office collection Day 3: Shazia Iqbal's directorial debut starring Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri witnessed a slow start after finally being released in the big screens following multiple delays. Three days into its theatrical release, the movie has now crossed the ₹ 10 crore mark. According to industry tracker Sacnilk, Dhadak 2 movie's net collection as of Sunday evening, August 3, stands at ₹ 10.34 crore. The Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri starrer movie minted ₹ 2.74 crore, which is nearly ₹ 1 crore less as compared to Dhadak 2's collection on the first two days. However, Sunday's collection is only the early estimate, as the final figures are yet to trickle in. Here's a glimpse of how much Dhadak 2 minted on the first two days: Day 1 [1st Friday] - ₹ 3.5 crore Day 2 [1st Saturday] - ₹ 3.75 crore Dhadak 2 movie's Box Office collection on Day 3 also reflected in the footfalls, with the Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri film recording an overall 33.43 per cent Hindi Occupancy on Sunday, August 3. Theatres were filled up to 13.78 % in the morning, while the occupancy for afternoon shows stood at 38.19%, and 48.32% for evening shows. Film trade analyst Taran Adarsh gave Dhadak 2 a 3.5 star rating and said, 'Sharp writing. Captivating, emotionally-charged second half... Solid performances. Dhadak2 works for the most part... But the love story lacks the soul-stirring soundtrack that elevated the first part.'
