Vijay Devarakonda’s Kingdom releases on OTT but important song sequence edited out, disappointed fans react

Other than the song, an important action sequence has also been dropped in the streaming version. As per several media reports, the carnival fight scene has been edited out of the film’s OTT version. Reportedly, these cuts have been made to the film to maintain a pace and flow in the storyline for the viewers.

Reacting to the film’s version on OTT, one of the fans wrote, “We want Uncut Version #Kingdom And Add Deleted Scenes!!” Another user said, “Kingdom Netflix response is all positive. But the team again missed the chance by not giving an extended version. Vijay Devarakonda, we as fans only wish you would choose better projects & producers ahead. Your talent is rare; it deserves justice every single time.”

A few days back, during a press conference in Hyderabad, the film’s producer, Naga Vamsi, had explained why they had to drop the song “Hridayam Lopala” from Kingdom. He said, “I know a lot of people felt bad, especially lovers, probably because they wanted to see Vijay Deverakonda kiss, and they missed it. We tried a lot, but we couldn’t fit it into the intensity of the film overall. A lot of people are suggesting we should fit it in the second half of the film, where they feel it lags. But, the ending 20-minute banger only works because the film slows down there.”

Kingdom stars Vijay Deverakonda, Satyadev, Venkitesh, and Bhagyashri Borse in important roles. The film has been directed by Gowtam Tinnanuri.
