Watch it for him, people,’ read a user’s tweet. Another X user wrote, ‘Kingdom does not work for me.

Kingdom advance booking: A strong Day 1 opening

Kingdom did well in advance booking, not only in India but also abroad. This is the reason why the Vijay Deverakonda starrer is expected to earn around Rs 18-20 crore, including pre-sales, premiere on its last opening day. These bookings will be enough for Vijay Deverakonda to achieve the biggest opening. For the unversed, Vijay’s biggest opener to date is ‘Kushi’, which earned around Rs 26 crore worldwide. It featured Samantha Ruth Prabhu in the lead role.
