Vijay Deverakonda’s long-awaited film Kingdom, directed by Gowtham Tinnanuri, was released in theaters on July 31. It had received lukewarm reviews at the time of its release. But could not keep the pace and soon became unsuccessful commercially. The film featured Bhagyashri Borse as the female lead opposite Vijay.
After its theatrical run, Kingdom made its digital debut on Netflix, with the streaming giant reportedly acquiring the rights for a massive price. However, the OTT release has left fans upset once again.
One of the main talking points about the movie was the “Hridayam Lopala” song, a romantic song that features Vijay Deverakonda and Bhagyashri Borse . The makers had deleted it from the theatrical version of the film, saying that it interfered with the pace of the film. Many fans believed the song would finally be included in the OTT version, but to their amazement, it misses out here too.
This caused disappointment and discussions from fans of the film. Many people are asking why producer Suryadevara Naga Vamsi didn’t include the song in the Netflix release. For many audiences that anticipated Kingdom coming to OTT, the loss of Hridayam Lopala has been quite disappointing.
