Without any official announcement or teaser hints, Nani makes a guest appearance in Kingdom, and fans are losing it.

For Nani fans, this unexpected moment has become one of the film's biggest highlights. In the comments section across social platforms, one line keeps echoing: 'This is what mass cinema should look like," read one comment. 'blockbuster bomma," read another.

Compliments kept pouring in for the actor's portrayal of Arjun Sarkar, with one post reading, 'Nani never disappoints. His characterisation has worked big time.' Another user declared it 'Nani's career-best acting, with writing at its peak. Best title card in recent times for a Telugu actor.' One viewer added, 'Nani has completely stolen the show with his swag and performance.' The same user praised the film's structure, calling it a 'neat, action-packed thriller with theatrical extravaganza,' while also complimenting the 'gripping' screenplay and background score. #HIT3 [ #ABRatings – 3.5/5 ] – Aazing First half, Followed by Power Thrilling packed second half🔥 – #Nani Completely stole the show with his Swag & performance, Great Performance as usual 👏👏 – Gripping screenplay throughout the film👌 – This part is majorly focused on… — धर्म रक्षक🚩🕉️ (@DharmRakshak07) May 1, 2025 ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW VIDEO However, reactions weren't universally glowing. Some users noted that the film doesn't quite live up to the hype, particularly criticizing the investigation arc.

It has borrowed a lot of things, didn't find anything unique or thrilling to be honest. Last 20 mins were the best portions; the rest had bad screenplay. Garbage love track. Barely any ounce of investigative thriller genre.' The pacing of the film was another point of debate. While several users found the first half underwhelming, many agreed that the second half, especially the final act, delivered the intensity and momentum expected from the franchise.
