About Kingdom
At the core of Kingdom lies an emotional, action-packed journey led by Vijay Deverakonda’s Suri, a humble police constable with a haunting past. His mission is to infiltrate a deadly drug cartel in Sri Lanka, with the secret hope of finding his missing brother, Siva (played by Satyadev), who vanished years ago under mysterious circumstances. But what begins as an undercover operation quickly spirals into a chaotic battle of wits and survival. Suri finds himself face-to-face with the ruthless cartel boss Murugan, portrayed menacingly by Venkatesh. As the stakes rise, secrets unravel, and loyalties are tested, Suri isn’t alone as he finds an ally in Dr. Madhu (Bhagyashri Borse), a determined woman who’s also operating undercover in the same network.
Kingdom faces protests
Kingdom triggered widespread protests in Tamil Nadu, with several groups accusing the film of misrepresenting Tamil identity and hurting religious sentiments. Criticism has largely stemmed from Tamil nationalist group Naam Tamilar Katchi (NTK), which has taken strong exception to certain elements in the film.
