‘Kingdom' day one box office: Vijay Deverakonda's film off to a decent start but fails to beat ‘Liger' record
Vijay Deverakonda's latest film, Kingdom, has gotten off to a decent start at the box office. Directed by Gowtam Tinnanuri of Jersey fame, the Telugu movie hit the screens on July 31, 2025. According to the movie collected ₹15.50 crore at the box office on its opening day. Kingdom has surpassed The Family Star, which collected ₹5.75 crore on its first day. The movie starred Mrunal Thakur opposite Deverakonda. Kingdom also went past the opening day figure of Khushi, the 2023 romantic drama featuring Deverakonda and Samantha Ruth Prabhu. However, Deverakonda's latest release slightly fell short of the opening-day result of Liger, which released in 2022. Directed by Puri Jagannadh, Liger, which amassed ₹15.95 crore on its first day of theatrical release,eventually went on to become a box office disaster. Kingdom is about a constable who sets out as an undercover spy to bring back his long lost brother. During his pursuit, he faces daunting challenges. Deverakonda was eyeing a comeback with Kingdom, after his previous outings — The Family Star and Khushi — performed underwhelmingly at the box office. However, his latest release has opened to mixed reviews. ALSO READ: Anirudh Ravichander says Vijay Deverakonda's 'Kingdom' will be a 'milestone film' in their careers The Hindu review of the movie said, 'Unlike many half-baked franchise-minded action dramas, Kingdom gives us a fairly complete arc while still laying the groundwork for a sequel. Despite a slightly uneven and unconvincing latter half about the hero and his crown, the film scores with its emotional ambition, immersive craft, and a striking Vijay Deverakonda performance that reminds you why he matters. If only it had held its nerve till the very end, this could have been a knockout.'

Bad news for Urvashi Rautela as she lost jewellery worth Rs 70 lakhs from..., accuses...
Bad news for Urvashi Rautela, as she lost jewellery worth Rs 70 lakhs from..., accuses... In an industry where fame is often associated with wealth. Public figures often walk a tightrope between luxury and sensitivity. But among the many actors that own some prized possessions, there is one actress who has often made headlines for her bold fashion statements and extravagant lifestyle, but in recent months, it's not her films or outfits that have created a buzz; rather, it's her back-to-back luxury mishaps and a controversial comment during a sensitive time that have brought her under sharp public scrutiny. Urvashi Rautela Luxury Mishap A few months ago, Urvashi Rautela was creating a buzz on social media for her insensitive comment during the promotion of her film at the start of 2025. While fans and the industry were dealing with the shocking stabbing of actor Saif Ali Khan, she seemed detached and overly focused on flaunting her expensive gifts. During an interview with ANI, she was asked to share her views on the incident, but instead of showing some sympathy or concern, she took away from the magnanimity of the situation. She said: 'It is very unfortunate. Now, Daaku Maharaaj has crossed Rs. 105 crore at the box office, and my mother gifted me this diamond-studded Rolex. In contrast, my father gifted me this mini watch on my finger, but we don't feel confident wearing it outside openly. There is this insecurity that anybody can attack us. Whatever happened was very unfortunate.' The internet didn't take kindly to her words, accusing her of being out of touch with reality and insensitive to the gravity of the situation. This wasn't the only time she made headlines for her luxurious life. In 2023, Urvashi shocked social media by announcing that she had lost her 24-carat real gold iPhone at the Narendra Modi Stadium during a World Cup match. She posted: 'Lost my 24-carat real gold iPhone at Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad! If anyone comes across it, please help. Contact me ASAP.' Then, in 2025, during her trip to London for the Wimbledon Tennis Tournament, there was another headline. She claimed that her Christian Dior brown baggage, reportedly containing jewellery worth ₹70 lakh, was stolen at London's Gatwick Airport. She wrote: 'As a Platinum Emirates Member and a global artist attending Wimbledon, I am deeply disheartened to report that our Christian Dior brown baggage was stolen from the baggage belt at London Gatwick Airport, following our Emirates flight from Mumbai.' While Urvashi's fans sympathized with her losses, some also questioned her repeated emphasis on luxury, especially during times of public grief or unrest.
