Review: Kill: The Greatest Robbery Action Film by Indian Bandits

When Kill opened on July 5, 2024, it was hardly surprise that, due to the absence of A-list performers, few people knew about it. But, we are here to inform you that, in spite of the absence of a well-known actor, Dharma Productions and renowned filmmaker Nikhil Nagesh Bhat contributed to the production of this film.

Tanya Maniktala, Lakshya, and Raghav Juyal are well-known dance icons who appear in this film. We’ll discuss Kill in this article along with the reasons you should try it. We will discuss the plot, offer you a thorough critique, and then examine each member of the ensemble cast in Kill in terms of their performances. Thus, read through to the finish!

Murder Story

Army commando Amrit (Lakshya) boards a train headed for New Delhi in an attempt to stop his love Tulika (Tanya Maniktala) from getting married against her will.

What should have been an ordinary train commute turns into an action-packed ride of death when a group of knife-wielding thugs led by the ferocious Fani (Raghav Juyal) start terrorising passengers aboard his train. Amrit must take on the thugs himself in a violent symphony of carnage.

Review of the film Kill

The movie Kill has stunning visuals. Not the typical Bollywood song-and-dance style of filming. Outstanding performance by the main group. A variety of musical background scores were appropriate for the scenes and incredibly non-distracting. 

The movie’s storyline is among its best features. The entire script is structured to make the audience feel sympathy for both the passengers and the bandits—a morally nuanced situation that keeps you interested the entire time.

Additionally, there are no excessively dramatic or slow-motion Bollywood-style slow movements in the action scenes. It actually adopts a more realistic, cutting-edge approach, which heightens the suspense and excitement.

However, the movie’s most endearing feature is its restraint. The film achieves a realism lacking in much mainstream Indian movies, by eschewing over-the-top dramatics and concentrating on actual human emotions and high-stakes scenarios.

This is a movie that ought to be seen far more often than it has. It demonstrates how excellent Indian cinema can be when directors choose to present a tale with strong technical chops as opposed to creating a spectacle. We wholeheartedly urge you to see this movie if you enjoy action thrillers or are just searching for something fresh from the usual Bollywood fare.

Superb Performance

In terms of the performances, Raghav Juyal most impressed us. With UNBELIEVABLE comic timing and a strong stage presence, he is one of the most pure evil, vile, and yet endearing villains we have seen in a long time.

While Tanya was playing Tulika, Amrit’s girl was adorable throughout. However, she seemed a little awkward around him, so we can’t help but feel like her voice wasn’t quite there.

Later on, Lakshya Laiwani’s role shifts from being primarily verbal to being more action-oriented, giving him the appearance of a real action star who is solely driven by rage. Because they are all related as family, even the terrible guys are good.

This somehow prevents them from becoming less like clichéd characters; the fact that at least one of them is always left crying in every death scene raises the tension.
