Vijay Deverakonda’s Kingdom Now Streaming on Netflix in Five Languages

An early streaming pivot signals a recovery push for a planned two‑part franchise.

Overview

  • The film began streaming on Netflix on August 27 in Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam, and in Hindi under the title Saamrajya.
  • After opening in theaters on July 31 to a mixed response, industry tracker Sacnilk reports a worldwide gross of about ₹82.02 crore against a reported ₹130 crore budget.
  • The fast OTT window arrives less than a month after release, aligning with a broader trend for Telugu films that underperform theatrically to move quickly to digital.
  • Screenings in Tamil Nadu faced protests over cultural and religious sensitivities, with the Madras High Court recording a police undertaking to protect cinemas.
  • Star Vijay Deverakonda has hinted on social media that a sequel is being planned, consistent with the film’s positioning as the first part of a duology.
