Kingdom Box Office Collection Day 1: Vijay Deverakonda Starrer Faces Stiff Competition From Mahavatar Narsimha, Mints ₹15.50 Crore

Kingdom Box Office Collection Day 1: Vijay Deverakonda's action drama released on July 31 after many delays and opened to good numbers at the box office in India and internationally. The Telugu star is in desperate search for a hit and with positive reviews coming the film's way, Kingdom might just turn things around. Vijay's last three releases - Liger, Kushi and The Family Star - have been commercial and critical failures. However, the talk around Kingdom is positive and the same reflected in its biz at the ticket window.

Kingdom becomes Vijay's second biggest opener at India box office

Despite a good initial response, Kingdom failed to emerge as the actor's biggest day 1 grosser. The top spot is held by Liger, which opened to ₹16 crore in 2022. Meanwhile, Vijay Deverakonda starrer Kingdom collected ₹15.50 crore on its first day at the ticket window.
