Kingdom Box Office Collection: Will Vijay Deverakonda’s Spy Thriller Be His Next Big Hit?

Vijay Deverakonda’s latest Telugu spy thriller ‘Kingdom’, directed by Gowtam Tinnanuri, hit theatres on July 31, 2025. With a massive budget of around ₹130 crore and high pre-release buzz, the film’s box office journey is being closely watched by fans and trade experts alike.

India Box Office Performance – Day-wise Breakdown

‘Kingdom’ opened with promising numbers in India. While the momentum dipped after Day 1, the weekend helped it maintain a steady pace.

Kingdom’s India Day-wise Net Collection (in ₹ crore):

• Day 1 (Thursday): ₹18.00
• Day 2 (Friday): ₹7.50
• Day 3 (Saturday): ₹8.00
• Day 4 (Sunday): ₹7.40
• Day 5 (Monday): ₹2.25 (approx.)
• Day 6 (Tuesday): ₹1.03 (estimated)

Total Net India (6 Days): ₹43.90 crore (approx.)
Total Gross India (5 Days): ₹50.50 crore (approx.)

How’s the Film Doing Overseas and Worldwide?

Kingdom has performed well overseas as well, collecting around ₹19 crore gross in its first five days. The film’s worldwide gross reached approximately ₹69.50 crore within 5 days, and some reports indicate a weekend worldwide total close to ₹82 crore.

Is Kingdom Performing Better Than Vijay’s Past Films?

Let’s compare Kingdom’s performance with Vijay Deverakonda’s previous major releases:

Vijay Deverakonda has had a mixed track record at the box office in recent years. While Liger was a major disappointment, Kushi and The Family Star had average runs. Kingdom has already surpassed both Liger and The Family Star in just five days.

Lifetime Worldwide Collections of Vijay’s Previous Films:

• Liger (2022): ₹56 crore
• Kushi (2023): ₹76 crore
• The Family Star (2024): ₹30.65 crore
• Geetha Govindam (2018): ₹130 crore (biggest hit)

With ₹69+ crore worldwide in just five days, Kingdom is already on track to surpass Kushi and has beaten Liger and The Family Star. But will it reach or surpass Geetha Govindam?

Hit or Flop – What Do the Trends Say?

Kingdom recovered approximately 26% of its budget in the first three days. But the film saw a sharp decline in collections from Monday onward. Mixed word-of-mouth and average reviews have impacted its sustainability at the box office. A strong hold in the second weekend will be crucial for the film’s success.

Final Verdict – Can Kingdom Be the Game-Changer Vijay Needs?

Kingdom started strong but now faces the classic second-weekend test. If it maintains a steady hold and crosses ₹100 crore worldwide, it could become Vijay Deverakonda’s much-needed hit post-COVID. If not, it may end up as another average performer in his filmography.
