As foreign action films go, most fans gravitate towards Asia to get their adrenaline fix but India is still making its case for putting out high quality ultra-action with films that contain the most insane set pieces imaginable. The action scenes in Indian movies literally chew up the screen with jaw dropping, gravity defying sequences that out a lot of other films to shame.
Well, India is representing once again after making a huge splash at the 2023 Fantastic Fest in Austin, TX. with the brutal CQB battle film simply titled Kill. What does one special ops soldier do when the train he’s on is boarded by a band of killers? He unleashes his signature skills, that’s what. There’s no guns in this one folks. Just knives, hands, feet, sheer determination to stay alive and a fire extinguisher for good measure. Check out the Intel on this bad ass sounding Indian action entry with the brand new and blood-soaked red band trailer below! After all, there has to be something said about being India’s bloodiest movie ever made.
When army commando Amrit (Lakshya) finds out his true love Tulika (Tanya Maniktala) is engaged against her will, he boards a New Delhi-bound train in a daring quest to derail the arranged marriage,” reads the film’s official synopsis. “But when a gang of knife-wielding thieves led by the ruthless Fani (Raghav Juyal) begin to terrorize innocent passengers on his train, Amrit takes them on himself in a death-defying kill-spree to save those around him — turning what should have been a typical commute into an adrenaline-fueled thrill ride.
Lakshya, Raghav Juyal and Tanya Maniktala round out the cast with Nikhil Nagesh Bhat helming. The film is notable for being Bollywood’s first foray into this kind of high-octane action genre franchise. The film’s lead Lakshya, who portrays a commando soldier fighting to protect a train full of innocent passengers from dangerous robbers, stars in a breakout performance that can help launch him into a noted action star in India and beyond.
Two highly trained commandos against army of bloodthirsty killers in brutal CQB action? Yes please! With action choreography by Se-yeong Oh and Parvez Shaikh, this one promises to be brutal and savage with some of the most ferocious fight action ever captured on film. Sounds utterly delicious to me. I’m really looking forward to checking this one out as I had the opportunity last year, but it fell through due to my life always getting in the way. No worries, I plan to rectify this post haste. Plus, there’s no dance numbers to get in the way on this one with just unflinching slicing and dicing to satisfy genre fans.
Kill is set to unleash its fury in theaters on the Fourth of July!
