Kill Movie Story Review:
Nikhil Nagesh Bhatt’s story is basic. But Nikhil Nagesh Bhatt’s screenplay is taut and engaging. In the past, we have seen Western or Southeast Asian movies on the train. But this is a film about an Indian train that has a unique design. As a result, one is glued to the screen from beginning to end. Nikhil Nagesh Bhatt’s dialogues are sharp and several one-liners stand out.

Nikhil Nagesh Bhatt’s direction is excellent. His last movie APURVA [2023] It was also a bit in the same zone where the hero emerges victorious alone, although he is outmatched. But it was a survival drama, while here the hero has a different motive in fighting the baddies. As mentioned earlier, Indian Post Express is different and gives developers a lot to explore. And they use it well. Moreover, the hero fights in a certain way, but changes speed (and how) after a shocking development. It also gives him a solid reason to go all out. Most importantly, the audience will support him. In fact, several scenes are very violent, but they are greeted with applause because the audience wants the hero to win.

On the other hand, several aspects are unclear, such as who is where in the train. This also creates confusion and developers should take care. In the past we have seen movies set in trains like TRAIN TO BUSAN [2016]bullet train [2022] etc. in which it was all explained plainly and simply. Second, there are too many cinematic liberties, especially how the main character is able to fight despite being seriously injured or how the cops had no idea what was going on inside the train.

Kill movie performances:
Lakshya makes a confident debut. He looks dashing and has a baritone voice that adds to his personality. In terms of performance, he is top notch and looks convincing as an action hero. Raghav Jual is a revelation. He rocks the show as the villain and it’s definitely one of the best performances of the year. Ashish G Vidyarthi (Benny) as expected is excellent and the dilemma his character goes through makes it even more realistic. Tanya Maniktala has an amazing screen presence and deserves to be seen more. Abhishek Chauhan leaves a huge mark. Harsh Chaaya and Adria Sinha are supporting. Meenal Kapoor (Tulika’s mother) is fair. Parth Tiwari (Siddy; the strong man in Fan’s gang) and Kashyap Kapoor (Dhannu; who pretends to be a regular passenger) stand out. Others also give good performances.

Kill music and other technical aspects:
KILL should have been a film without songs. two songs “Jaco Rakhe Sayan” and ‘Nikat’, failed to register. Kethan Soda’s background score, however, is thrilling. Rafi Mahmoud’s cinematography is award-winning. Shooting action scenes in a confined space and still giving the film a cinematic feel is not easy. But Lensman comes out with flying colors. Se-Yeong Oh and Parvez Shaikh’s acting is one of the USPs of the film. It is extremely bloody and gory and not for the faint of heart. At the same time, a few fights are fresh and will appeal to viewers who enjoy such scenes. Mayur Sharma’s production design and Rohit Chaturvedi’s costumes are realistic. Digital Turbo Media and Reflections Pictures’ VFX are top notch. Editing by Shivkumar V Panicker is smooth.

Kill movie conclusion:
Overall, KILL is a violent and stylish action entertainer. It might start slow at the box office and also face competition from KALKI 2898 AD. But it has the potential to grow not only in cities but also in mass centers. This 105-minute film also deserves to be played without an interval for better effect.
