Kill Movie – A Bloody, bone-crackling good time
Kill, is a satisfying action film that serves you much more than courage and bloodshed. Bloodshed is not something I am a huge fan of but when you watch a movie like Kill which is so well made, you have to keep all that aside. Look, Kill is a full-on masala Indian movie, so you guys are going to enjoy watching it.
Watching the kill was a very draining physical experience as I found myself in a wired state, sometimes with my legs tangled, sometimes with my heart beating fast. I heard so many noises from the audience around me who couldn’t deal with what was going to happen next, their voices were trembling with the bloodshed but still, they couldn’t take their eyes off it.
In the movie Kill, Tullika (Tanya Maniktala) is forced into engagement by her father Baldev Singh Thakur (Harsh Chaya), a well-known man in the city. She does it with great difficulty but she was determined to marry her love, Commando Amrit (Lakshya). When she was returning to Delhi by train with her family, Amrit came to surprise her and proposed to her for marriage, which made her very happy. Everything was well but then a group of robbers boarded the train, which was going to create trouble for the decent people sitting in the train.
How quickly and without mercy it turned into a bloody event. It took the robbers a few seconds to start their raid but all this might not have happened if they had looted some other train compartment or if their leader Beni (Ashish Vidyarthi) and his son Fani (Raghav Juyal) had not known that they were travelling with Baldev Singh and his family whose treasure was much more than what they had thought of getting from the wallet and jewellery. But these robbers started looting from Amrit and his soldier friend Viresh (Abhishek Chauhan) who together crushed these robbers and then the movie, Kill became delightful.
Kill’s director Nikhil Nagesh Bhatt fails to show a good hero’s entry like other Indian movies as the movie zooms in very quickly on Amrit. It was a good idea to keep the audience guessing what Amrit will do and how he will fight next until the fighting starts which reveals his deadly efficiency and his dangerous roar.
Some of them had guns and two of them were quite big in size which they used against Amrit. Viresh was badly injured and Tullika and her family were in a very bad condition. Even half of the movie, Kill was not finished yet and it felt like the number of broken bones and horrible deaths equivalent to 5 Indian action films had happened.
Kill was promoted as India’s most violent movie so far, in which faces were crushed into pulp and bodies were slammed against hard surfaces.
It would be easy to charge Kill by setting itself up as an endurance test. But it goes far beyond that. By the film’s halfway point, a genuinely sad darkness sets in. There’s a moment when you realize that Amrit was holding himself back; it was both thrilling and sickening. His kills after that were different—less efficient, more brutally drawn.
Kill is billed as ‘ Raid on a Train ‘, which is a strong claim, given how regarded Gareth Evans‘ 2011 film is. In August last year, a Railway Protection Officer was on the Mumbai – Jaipur train when he killed three Muslim passengers and a Hindu constable. Although, this incident happened when the shooting of Kill Movie was over the memories were fresh especially when a young Muslim man, Arif, was murdered whose family later told Amrit that they wished they had done something before at that time.
Kill is not a political film, yet its gory violence feels in tune with the times when videos of lynchings and coded murders shot by criminals are shown on primetime news and circulated on WhatsApp.
But I found it interesting how little patriotism the film shows because its rakshaka soldier. No flag is hoisted; Amrit never gives a hint of duty or national pride. That might not sound like much, but it’s a stark contrast to most recent Indian action films, which treat the military with uncritical respect.
Violence was already a lot in itself, but it started to get even harder because of the emotions with which it bound the audience. Lakshya did not say much, but Amrit’s face showed changing emotions like worry, sadness, guilt, anger, and much more. Even though the goons were unsympathetic, Kill Movie still makes their deaths significant and sad.
The violence of the movie, Kill may seem extremely horrific to some, but this movie forces us to deal with a kind of violence that we would never have imagined could actually happen.
Kill is not a real action movie as there is no slow-mo or any release in this movie. What was on the screen was a mess of bloodshed and corpses. Throughout the movie, people were just trying to cheer and as soon as Amrit started beating the robbers brutally, there were sounds of whistles and applause from all sides.
It’s disturbing to see the crowd enjoying a level of violence that’s clearly used to create discomfort. The film never makes its brutality seem childish – everyone on the train looks completely terrified, except for the soldiers and the dacoits. But Indian audiences expect their violence to be accompanied by heroism or imagination.
There was a scene in Kill where Amrit put a Zippo can in the mouth of a robber and set it on fire, due to which his whole mouth was burning and he was screaming in pain, which was very scary to watch but I saw that everyone around me was laughing, which was very wrong.
Although, Kill is a good movie that shows violence, which is full of pain and death. I really enjoyed watching this movie because it had mixed emotions. So, you guys must watch it and also know how to take action in such situations.
