Kill Movie Review:
This triple collaboration between producers Karan Johar and Guneet Monga and overseas distribution partners Lionsgate Studios is being marketed as the most violent film Bollywood has ever made. Starring known faces yet relatively new actors, Raghav Juyal, Lakshya Lalwani and Tanya Maniktala, the casting is impressive. The violence may remind you of American Slasher movies, but this one has some romance too.
However, this peace and romance only last the initial few minutes as the movie is all about what its title says — kill. Amrit Rathod (Lakshya Lalwani) is an NSG commando in love with Tulika (Tanya Maniktala). Tulika is getting engaged as per her father Baldeo Singh Thakur’s (Harsh Chhaya) wishes in Ranchi when Amrit gate-crashes the party and asks her to elope with him. Tulika defers the plan. Later, while travelling back to Delhi, Amrit proposes to Tulika in a train washroom but soon they find themselves among 40-odd dacoits, led by Fani (Raghav Juyal), robbing their train.
Amrit’s commando training comes in handy as he fights the robbers and rescues his lady love and her family, who are also travelling with them.
Another television star, Raghav, has also transformed well into the grey character of Fani. He has a good grip on the dialogue delivery. He doesn’t have many action scenes, but steals the show with his one-liners. A menacing character with unapologetic behaviour, Raghav has portrayed Fani well as a modern bandit who does everything in style.
Tanya adds the emotional factor in this violence-laden film. In supporting roles, Ashish Vidyarthi and Abhishek Chauhan also deliver.
The director and production designer Mayur Sharma have made this Indian railway actioner look real on screen even though it was shot on sets.
It’s not a film for the faint-hearted as it has some gory visuals. If the first half is about a robbery gone wrong, the second evokes ‘Badlapur’ vibes, with revenge being the only visible emotion in Lalwani’s eyes. Only, in ‘Kill’, revenge is served piping hot.
