Parental guide: is Kingdom family friendly?
This is a general guide based on the U/A 16+ certificate and action-thriller genre; the film may contain moderate violence and thematic elements unsuitable for young children. This is a general guide based on genre and certification.
Our verdict
Kingdom offers a compelling premise with Vijay Deverakonda as a constable thrust into a spy mission, and his strained relationship with Satyadev's Siva adds emotional weight. The action-thriller genre and Anirudh Ravichander's music are highlights, though the 160-minute runtime may feel long for some. It's a solid pick for fans of espionage dramas, but the U/A 16+ rating means it's not for family viewing.
