Kingdom FIRST Review: Anirudh Ravichander Calls Vijay Deverakonda's Action Thriller ‘Superb'
Last Updated: Anirudh Ravichander gives an early thumbs-up to Vijay Deverakonda's much-awaited film Kingdom, calling it 'very nice' and 'superb.' The buzz around Kingdom, starring Vijay Deverakonda and Bhagyashri Borse, continues to intensify as the film gears up for its highly-anticipated July 4 release. Originally slated for May 30, the film's launch was postponed to accommodate final touches and strategic promotional rollouts. But if early reactions are anything to go by, the wait might just be worth it. Acclaimed music composer Anirudh Ravichander, who got a sneak peek of the complete film, gave it a resounding thumbs-up. 'I watched the film. It's very nice. Superb," he shared, keeping his reaction crisp yet impactful. Coming from one of the most influential names in the industry, his words have only fueled anticipation further. Directed by Jersey filmmaker Gowtam Tinnanuri, Kingdom promises to showcase Vijay Deverakonda like never before. The actor takes on a high-octane, action-heavy role that he has physically and stylistically prepped for over months, donning a rugged, intense avatar. Yet the film doesn't solely rely on action; it weaves in a compelling emotional thread, including a romantic arc featuring the fresh pairing of Vijay and Bhagyashri Borse—a dynamic fans are eager to witness unfold on screen. Adding to the film's intrigue is the unique remuneration model for its leading man.
