One speeding train. 40 bloodthirsty bandits. And a badass hero who smashes, kicks and pulverises his way through them. This action spectacle lit up the Toronto Midnight Madness screen.

With mayhem on a scale you can hardly believe, it’s safe to say there has never been an Indian film – and very few action movies – like this before. It begins as a gloriously heaving romantic melodrama, but once the happy couple leave on a night train to New Delhi, all hell breaks loose and never stops. Barely a gun is sighted as charismatic off-duty commando Amrit Rathod (Lakshya, sensational) uses fists, feet, knives and whatever else comes to hand while tackling endless waves of supremely nasty bad guys. Director Nikhil Nagesh Bhat, with the valuable assistance of ace action choreographer Oh Se-young (Snowpiercer), ensures the action is brilliantly sustained to the explosive final destination. There is no quiet carriage on this train.

Limited seats are available for patrons requiring access for wheelchairs, low vision and hearing loop. Please contact our ticketing team directly on 1300 733 733 or tickets@sff.org.au to complete your booking.
A near-perfect action-thriller that’s stuck in overdrive
Matt Donato, Slashfilm
A thrilling and brutal action experience
Andrew Mack, ScreenAnarchy
As brutal a film as the country has ever produced, Kill is a shockingly graphic action showcase from an industry that typically plays violence in a more cartoony register
Peter Debruge, Variety
