Directed by Nikhil Nagesh Bhat and produced by Karan Johar, “Kill” is an eagerly anticipated Hindi-language action thriller. Here’s what you need to know:
The story of “Kill” unfolds during a seemingly routine train journey from Ranchi to New Delhi. However, this ordinary trip takes a dark turn when a group of bandits ambush the passengers. Suddenly, the train becomes a dangerous battleground, pitting the travelers against two formidable commandos.
Action-Packed Scenes and Choreography
“Kill” delivers visually dynamic fight sequences, choreographed by action directors Se-yeong Oh and Parvez Sheikh. These intense scenes showcase Lakshya and his opponents flipping, tumbling, and hurling themselves around various train compartments. The choreography stands out, providing a better showcase than recent Yash Raj Spy Universe collaborations like “Tiger 3”.
Kill Plot
Lakshya portrays Amrit, an army commando who discovers that his true love, Tulika (played by Tanya Maniktala), is engaged against her will. Determined to derail the arranged marriage, Amrit boards the New Delhi-bound train on a daring quest. However, there’s barely a conventional reason to root for him as he tears through car after car of indistinct baddies. His actions are fueled by love, but his motivations remain somewhat elusive.
Kill Box Office Predictions and Budget
Early indications suggest that “Kill” may have a slow start at the box office due to the recent success of Nag Ashwin’s “Kalki 2898 AD.” However, favorable reviews and Lakshya’s buzzworthy performance could lead to a weekend surge. To be considered a successful venture, “Kill” needs to earn at least Rs 25-30 crore domestically.
Hit or Flop?
While the film has generated significant buzz, its ultimate box office fate remains uncertain. To be a true hit, “Kill” must surpass its budget. Fans and critics alike are curious to see how it will fare in the coming days.
Certification and Runtime
“Kill” has been granted an A (Adults Only) certificate by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). Its runtime is 106 minutes, equivalent to 2 hours and 23 minutes.
The film stars newcomer Lakshya in the lead role, alongside Raghav Juyal, Ashish Vidyarthi, Harsh Chhaya, and Tanya Maniktala.
