"We hope you enjoyed the ride." Lionsgate has launched a teaser trailer for the awesome action movie Kill, from filmmaker Nikhil Bhat. This incredible film premiered last year at the 2023 Toronto Film Festival in the Midnight Madness section, and it also played at the Sitges Film Festival - where I caught up with it. This film is an action movie on the scale of The Raid, but set entirely on a moving train with fights happening in the passenger cars. When thugs board a train and start attacking passengers in a train heist, the train soon becomes a combat battleground as a pair of commandos face the entire army of invading bandits. Starring Lakshya, Tanya Maniktala and Raghav Juyal. You have never seen anything like this before!! I totally lost my shit watching this film last year, and my review is quoted in this trailer stating a fact - this is "a new landmark in action cinema." I am so excited that this is getting a full on theatrical release in the US soon! A must see in theaters - bring all your friends and have a great time. Stay tuned for a full trailer coming soon.
Here's the first US teaser trailer for Nikhil Bhat's film Kill, direct from Lionsgate's YouTube:
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. 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 train commute into an adrenaline-fueled thrill ride. Kill is directed by Indian writer / filmmaker Nikhil Bhat (aka Nikhil Nagesh Bhat), director of the films Saluun, Long Live Brij Mohan, Hurdang, plus also the TV series "The Gone Game" and "Rasbhari" previously. The screenplay is also written by Nikhil Bhat, with dialogue by Ayesha Syed. Produced by Achin Jain, Karan Johar, Apoorva Mehta, Guneet Monga. This initially premiered at the 2023 Toronto Film Festival last year in Midnight Madness. Lionsgate will debut Kill in select US theaters starting July 4th, 2024 this summer.
