‘Kill’ is currently ‘killing’ it at the box-office! The action thriller is going strong at the BO and has emerged as a surprise box-office success. The movie has crossed Rs 21 crore domestically and earned Rs 24 crore worldwide so far.
The movie also opened to rave reviews and has received praise from critics for powerful performances from the cast and sleek, sophisticated, yet unabashedly violent action sequences.
With the unprecedented success of ‘Kill’, all eyes are now on not only the dishy male lead Lakshya Lalwani but also the director Nikhil Nagesh Bhat.
In an interview with Firstpost, Bhat revealed that a harrowing incident proved to be the inspiration for ‘Kill’. He said that he was robbed in the train while travelling from Patna to Pune and this inspired him to start writing the screenplay for ‘Kill’ in 2016.
While ‘Kill’ is undoubtedly his first major box-office success, Bhat has directed some rather watchable web series and two rather forgettable feature films before striking gold with the action extravaganza.
‘Apurva’
This gritty survival drama became a turning point in the career of its leading lady Tara Sutaria. Set in the rural corner of Chambal, ‘Apurva’ tells the story of an average young woman who is forced to battle her wits to survive against four goons. Aside from Sutaria, ‘Apurva’ also features veteran actors such as Rajpal Yadav, Abhishek Banerjee, Sumit Gulati, Aaditya Gupta, Dhairya Karwa etc.
The movie premiered on Disney + Hotstar on 15 November 2023. However, it gained over 4,800,000 views on the streaming platform in the week of its release.
‘Rashbhari’
This erotic comedy mini-series featured Swara Bhaskar in triple roles. Set in the small town of Meerut, ‘Rashbhari’ is the story of a gutsy teacher named Shanu who is not afraid to create a stir in the sleepy, conservative town with her zest for life and brazen sexuality.
‘Rashbhari premiered on Amazon Prime Video in June 2020.
‘The Gone Game’
This psychological thriller was directed amid the COVID-19 pandemic and was shot remotely in the homes of the cast. Starring Sanjay Kapoor, Shweta Tripathi, Shriya Pilgaonkar, and Ajun Mathur in key roles, ‘The Gone Game’ debuted on the streaming app Voot in August 2020. The second season premiered in July 2022.
‘Hurdang’
Featuring Sunny Kaushal, Nushratt Bharuccha, and Vijay Varma, ‘Hurdang’ revolves around an IAS hopeful who rebels against the caste-based reservation in the exam.
‘Brij Mohan Amar Rahe’
The action comedy narrates the story of a debt-ridden owner of a failing hosiery store and his quest for a new life under another alias. The movie which hit the theatres in 2018, opened to overwhelmingly negative views and was a complete washout at the box-office.
‘Brij Mohan Amar Rahe’ featured Arjun Mathur, Nidhi Singh, Sheetal Thakur, and Manav Vij in pivotal roles.
About ‘Kill’
‘Kill’ is a tale of vengeance. It is the story of Amrit Rathod, a dashing army commando, whose predictable life becomes a mission to settle scores when a quest to rescue his girlfriend Tulika from an unwanted marriage goes haywire. An impromptu attack by a group of knife-yielding bandits on the train on which Rathod was travelling, kills Tulika.
Amrit and his friend Viresh now must race against time to save the rest of the passengers from the bandits.
The movie was the Bollywood debut of Lakshya Lalwani, a popular face on TV. The movie also stars Raghav Juyal, Tanya Maniktala, Harsh Chhaya, Ashish Vidyarthi, and Abhishek Chauhan in pivotal roles.
