What happens

Kill is a 2023 Indian Hindi-language action thriller film written and directed by Nikhil Nagesh Bhat and produced by Dharma Productions and Sikhya Entertainment. The film, which is inspired by a train robbery experienced by Bhat in 1995, stars Lakshya, Raghav Juyal, Ashish Vidyarthi, Harsh Chhaya, Tanya Maniktala and Abhishek Chauhan. Kill premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival on 7 September 2023, where it was first runner-up for the People's Choice Award: Midnight Madness. It was also screened at the Tribeca Film Festival in June 2024. Kill was theatrically released on 5 July 2024 to positive reviews from critics, who praised its cinematography, visuals, soundtrack, cast performances and action sequences but criticized the overly graphic violence and plot. The film grossed ₹47.12 crore against a budget of ₹40 crore. Kill received fifteen nominations at the 70th Filmfare Awards including Best Film, Best Director (Bhat), Best Male Debut (Lakshya) and Best Supporting Actor (Juyal) and won Best Male Debut (Lakshya).
