Kingdom box office prediction day 1: Vijay Deverakonda's Telugu spy thriller may earn Rs 15 cr in India
Kingdom set to open well in India
Kingdom, Vijay Deverakonda's new film, is set to open in theatres on July 31 and this has garnered attention in the film industry. According to Ramesh Bala, a trade analyst, the spy thriller is likely to earn Rs 15 crore (nett) in India on the first day. The major chunk of this is expected to come from the Telugu states.
'Kingdom has excited fans because of the trailer and Anirudh Ravichander's music. The opening day figure should be around 15 crore,' he told Indiatimes.
If this prediction holds, Kingdom will outperform The Family Star, Deverakonda's last release. According to Sacnilk, a trade website, it earned nearly Rs 5.75 crore on the first day and ended up being a flop. Moreover, going by this figure, it will match Kushi. The romantic drama, which was released in 2023, made Rs 15.25 crore on the first day. It, however, failed to live up to expectations in the long run.
Will Vijay Deverakonda's dull form affect Kingdom?
Vijay Deverakonda emerged as a sensation with Arjun Reddy (2017) and Geetha Govindam (2018) but failed to keep the momentum going. Films such as World Famous Lover and NOTA sank at the box office. He then tried to add a new dimension to his career with Liger, his maiden Hindi film, but things did not go as planned. The sports action drama, which was shot on a budget of Rs 125 crore, earned just Rs 60 crore in its full run. His form, however, may not affect Kingdom's day 1 performance.
"This comes from the director of Jersey and the trailer has clicked. The buzz in markets like US and Andhra Pradesh and Telangana is good. The results of his previous films should not affect the opening of Kingdom,' said Bala.
As per Sacnilk, the final opening day pre-sales of Kingdom are likely to be around Rs 18 crore (gross) and this includes the premiere.

When Randhir Kapoor publicly slammed Karisma Kapoor's ex-husband, calling Sunjay Kapur a...
Karisma Kapoor's marriage to Delhi-based businessman Sunjay Kapur began in 2003 but soon spiralled into one of Bollywood's most talked-about scandals. What followed was not just a separation, but a bitter divorce packed with explosive allegations. Karisma accused Sunjay of infidelity. Sunjay, in turn, claimed the Zubeidaa star had married him for money. Their mudslinging was so intense it made daily headlines. Randhir Kapoor lashes out Never one to hold back, Karisma's father, Randhir Kapoor, publicly tore into his former son-in-law. In a fiery interview with Hindustan Times, he said, 'Sunjay is a third-class man. I never wanted Karisma to marry him. He has debauchery in his system and never cared for his wife. He has been giving bull*** to her, and living with another woman. The entire Delhi knows how he is.' His remarks came right after Sunjay accused Karisma of being a 'failed' wife, daughter-in-law, and mother, and even alleged she had an extramarital affair. The marriage and the split After tying the knot in 2003, Karisma moved to Delhi and had two children, Samaira and Kiaan. But by 2011, she had returned to Mumbai with them. The couple initially agreed on a mutual divorce, but Karisma withdrew when Sunjay allegedly failed to meet financial commitments under their settlement. Her lawyer, Kranti Sathe, dismissed Sunjay's accusations as 'false' and demanded he prove them in court. A twist after death Sunjay Kapur, former chairman of Sona Comstar, died in London on June 12, 2025. Barely two months later, his name resurfaced in headlines, this time over a staggering Rs 30,000 crore inheritance dispute. Reports suggest Karisma may be considering a legal claim to a share of his vast estate. Adding intrigue, Sunjay's stepdaughter — Priya Sachdev's daughter, Safira — recently changed her surname from 'Chatwal' to 'Kapur'. Insiders speculate this could be more than a personal choice, possibly a strategic play in the high-stakes property battle.

Con banega rich? Doc duped of 10L over entry in show
Bhopal: A doctor residing in the Chunabhatti area was allegedly duped of Rs10 lakh by a Mumbai-based man and his associates, who promised him an entry into a popular Bollywood actor-hosted reality TV game show. Acting on the complaint, Chunabhatti police reare preparing to send a team to Mumbai for their arrest. Investigation officer SI Uday Sisode said that Dr Abhineet Gupta, the complainant who runs his own clinic in Chunabhatti, came in contact with the accused, Karan Singh, through a mutual friend in 2022. Karan, who operates an event organising and management business in Mumbai, claimed to have strong connections in the television industry. He assured Dr Gupta that he could get him an entry into a high-profile reality TV game show, hosted by a Bollywood actor. Karan allegedly told Dr Gupta that the process would involve expenses of around Rs 50 lakh. Eager to participate in the show, Dr Gupta agreed. Karan even took him to an office where officials explained the formal application process for the show. However, Karan demanded Rs 10 lakh in advance to "facilitate" the selection process. Dr Gupta paid the amount, but his name did not appear in the list of selected participants that season. Upon inquiry, Karan assured him that his selection was confirmed for the next season. However, when the next season also passed without any progress, Dr Gupta tried to contact the show organisers directly and discovered that there is no such practice of accepting money for entry into the show. When Dr Gupta demanded his money back, Karan initially gave excuses and later outright refused to return the amount. Realising he was duped, Dr Gupta lodged a complaint with Chunabhatti police. After preliminary investigation, the police registered a case of cheating, cops said.

Mahavatar Narsimha (Hindi) Day 11 India Box Office: Hombale's devotional movie continues its carnage on 2nd Monday, adding nearly Rs 5 crore net
Mahavatar Narsimha, directed by Ashwin Kumar, and presented by Hombale Films, continued creating history at the box office on 2nd Monday, with the Hindi version doing the heavy-lifting. The devotional animated movie added Rs 4.75-5 crore net on its 2nd Monday and that is simply exceptional. It shows that the potential of the movie has not been exhausted. With an open 3rd week, it is expected that this movie will continue raking in solid numbers. The Day Wise India Net Collections Of Mahavatar Narsimha (Hindi) Are As Under Particulars Hindi Net India Collections Week 1 Rs 29 crore 2nd Friday Rs 5 crore 2nd Saturday Rs 11 crore 2nd Sunday Rs 16.25 crore 2nd Monday Rs 4.75 crore net Total Rs 66 crore net in 11 days Note: The collections exclude 3D Charges Mahavatar Narsimha Is Set To Enter The Rs 100 Crore Net India Club In Weekend 3 Mahavatar Narsimha will enter the Rs 100 crore net India club, most likely over its 3rd weekend. The lifetime of the movie will depend upon how it holds after the release of War 2 and Coolie. Both the pre-Independence day releases are going to try and get as many screens as they can for themselves, and it is going to be very tight. Regardless, for Mahavatar Narsimha, all that it gets from here is technically bonus, as it opened to collections of just Rs 1 crore on day 1. The main aim of the movie was to make animated movies, mainstream; and it has succeeded in doing so. The upcoming films from the Mahavatar Cinematic Universe, are set to get a reception that is even stronger than Mahavatar Narsimha. With this movie, producers have got the confidence that the audiences are willing to explore different genres and different film forms, as long as they entertain them. The fact that Mahavatar Narsimha is India's most preferred option for the current week and also the next week, despite biggies like Kingdom and Son Of Sardaar 2 releasing, further proves its acceptance Mahavatar Narsimha plays in theatres now. Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more updates.
