Kill Movie Review: Lakshya and Raghav Juyal Stun with Intense Action and Promising Talent
Nikhil Nagesh Bhat’s "Kill" defies the notion that star power is essential for cinematic success, delivering a compelling narrative brimming with energy and intensity. This fresh and daring film stands out for its innovative storyline that challenges conventional norms.
Set aboard a New Delhi-bound train, "Kill" introduces us to Amrit (Lakshya), a commando returning from a mission only to discover his girlfriend Tulika (Tanya Maniktala) engaged to another man. Determined to confront her, he boards the same train with his army buddy Viresh. However, their journey takes a dark turn when a ruthless gang led by the menacing Fani (Raghav Juyal) hijacks the train. What ensues is a gripping struggle for survival, as Amrit and Viresh battle the gang in intense hand-to-hand combat. Amidst the chaos, questions arise about love, loyalty, and the human spirit.

#KillMovie is one of the most exhilarating rides at a cinema hall in 2024. Don’t go for the “predictable” plot. Go for the gore, the grisly Raid-inspired action. Go and champion an independent movie.PS: Yes, there is a subtle parallel to reality/politics at play here. pic.twitter.com/J4Ezs7Q9XM

#Kill had the perfect setting to cash in on claustrophobic horror. It makes you squirm with all the violence (as intended), but never reaches a crescendo where fear grips you. Raghav Juyal is a revelation. My review of #KILLMOVIE #Killreview https://t.co/WmNxirRcEq @timesofindia pic.twitter.com/VNpJwqloUX
