INDIAN cinema finally wears its big boy pants with Kill, an action thriller that abandons the notorious tropes the country’s film industry and Indians in general have long been enamoured with.
That is not to say there Kill does not feature the sappy melodrama and romantic cliches that its cinematic siblings have. In fact, the first half of the film is precisely that.
After returning from training, National Security Guard (NSG) commando Amrit Rathod (Laksh Lalwani) finds out about the engagement of his girlfriend Tulika Singh (Tanya Maniktala) to someone else.
The engagement was arranged by Tulika’s business tycoon father Baldeo Singh Thakur and she goes along with it due to a fear of reprisal from him, until Amrit shows up at the engagement.
Aided by Viresh Chatwal (Abhishek Chauhan), another NSG commando, the couple decide the best time to elope would be during the Thakur family’s train trip back to New Delhi from Ranchi in Jharkhand.
Unfortunately for the couple, Viresh, the rest of the Thakur family and every civilian on board the train, about 40 criminals decide to rob everyone on the locomotive.
