When an army commando finds out his true love is engaged against her will, he boards a New Dehli-bound train in a daring quest to derail the arranged marriage. But when a gang of knife-wielding thieves begin to terrorize innocent passengers on his train, the commando takes them on, one by one.
Critic Consensus
Critical reception for KILL is overwhelmingly positive, with reviewers broadly agreeing it stands as one of the most intense and inventive action films in recent Hindi cinema. Critics most consistently praised the visceral, relentless action choreography and its effective use of the train's confined spaces as a setting. Several reviewers also noted that the film offers substance beyond its extreme violence, with Raghav Juyal's performance as the antagonist receiving specific commendation. The near-universal caveat across reviews is that the film's graphic gore makes it unsuitable for squeamish viewers, though this is framed more as a content warning than a creative flaw.

Updated“'Kill' is a lean, mean killing machine that doesn't pussy foot about trying to save all the main characters. While the film is nothing but a string of sequences oozing with an overwhelming degree of blood-and-gore, a quantum we haven't seen in Hindi cinema before, it succeeds as its own creature with distinctively desi elements that work alongside the visceral action.”Read full review ↗
“It is taut, tense and terrifically inventive with the acts of staggering violence that it executes inside the coaches of a train hurtling through the night. The film is definitely not for the squeamish.”Read full review ↗
“This is an absolute must-watch for all fans of action and otherwise. However, reiterating the point made earlier, you would need to steer clear of it if you can’t digest gore.”Read full review ↗
“An ultra-violent film about violence, Kill's greatest accomplishment isn't its death count alone but to challenge our perception of violence. If its refusal to resort to misogyny and foul language for hostile effect can lure you into submission, Bhat's livid piece of work deserves to be congratulated for breaking the monotony of superstardom-dictated action bonanzas.”Read full review ↗
“KILL is one of the best action films of the year, and action fans need to keep this one on their radar. Amrit tears through this gang of bandits with anything he can get his hands on, delivering some of the grittiest and grimiest action seen all year.”Read full review ↗
“This satisfying actioner serves more than just guts and gore, addressing the age-old problem of violent action films by offering substance beyond the bloodshed.”Read full review ↗
“Kill's objectives are achieved with an energy and enthusiasm that make it a tasty piece of action cinema which doesn't pull its punches; it's finger-cracking good.”Read full review ↗
“Nikhil Nagesh Bhat's ultra-violent delight 'Kill' starts as a cheesy action-romance before veering into hardcore, head-smashing mayhem. One of the best pure action movies since 'The Raid'.”Read full review ↗
“KILL is a violent and stylish action entertainer.”Read full review ↗
“Kill is DDLJ reimagined as a gory, gruesome action spectacle that somehow works as both a violent thriller and a romantic drama, delivering awesome entertainment through its brutal execution of familiar tropes.”Read full review ↗
“With 'Kill,' director Nikhil Nagesh Bhat and the fight choreographer of 'Snowpiercer' concoct a singularly intense, Hindi-language martial arts movie.”Read full review ↗
“Kill, billed as the most violent Indian movie ever made, is a slaughterfest that begins soon after the train leaves Ranchi for Delhi. The action makes excellent use of the train's narrow corridors and restricted spaces, with unrelenting and unforgiving action choreography. Raghav Juyal is this movie's prize-winning ticket, superbly playing Fani as a formidable adversary.”Read full review ↗
“Nikhil Nagesh Bhat's 'Kill' is a dark, brutal action film that's unlike anything in Indian cinema. The violence in this grisly action film is anything but empty.”Read full review ↗
“Once Kill gets down to business, it explodes. This is one of the gnarliest Hindi action films set to hit theatres in a long, long while. The action is slick, frantic, propulsive and all the other adjectives you can lavish on a Bollywood film with raw fight choreography and unembarrassing CGI.”Read full review ↗
