An excerpt from SCREEN's review of Kingdom read, 'Without a doubt, Kingdom is a product of the current filmmaking environment. It would be unfair to suggest that the makers of Kingdom have misled their audience all along, because the resulting film contains just what was advertised. However, despite the painstaking setup, Kingdom never truly tethers us emotionally to its story. Though the film juggles many elements, it never settles on a central thread to bring them into harmony.'
Directed by Gowtam Tinnanuri and produced by Sithara Entertainments, Srikara Studios, and Fortune Four Cinemas, Kingdom also features Satyadev, Bhagyashri Borse, Venkitesh and Manish Chaudhari.
