Slow pace, weak storyline: Why Vijay Deverakonda's Kingdom is facing backlash on OTT

Kingdom is Vijay Deverakonda's new film that is now streaming on Netflix. Ever since it started streaming, the response to the film has not been great. The film is being trolled for its slow pace and lack of proper narrative. Overall, Kingdom was loved in theaters a bit more and has been neglected on OTT, which is quite surprising.

All those who watched the film have multiple complaints about how an actor like Vijay Deverakonda was wasted in a role that did not have meat. The makers were banking on Kingdom to get a proper response to its content. But strangely, things have backfired as Kingdom is a bigger flop on OTT than in theaters.

Gowtam Tinnanuri has directed the film, which was supposed to be made in two parts. But with the manner in which the first part was received, there is news that the makers will not go ahead with the second part.

Bhagyashree Borse played the female lead in this film, and she did not have any role. One of the users commented that she was there only for close to three minutes in the entire film. The film was set in Sri Lanka, and a controversy also erupted stating Sri Lankan Tamils were showcased as bad guys in the film. The makers apologized to them, but all this did not help Kingdom one bit.

Kingdom gets trolled on OTT

One of the major complaints of the film is that Kingdom did not have standout moments. There was no action sequence that induced goosebump moments. The teasers showcased the film as an action-packed biggie, but as all that was missing, Kingdom did not live up to the expectations. The OTT audience also feels that the film is painfully long and goes on forever.

Anirudh's work is being praised, and he has given a thumping music score for the action drama. One of the sources close to the platform reveals to us that though the film is getting decent views, the response has been disappointing and many are leaving the film midway while streaming. As of now, Vijay Deverakonda is busy with his next film in the direction of Rahul Sankrityan.
