"Kill": A New Benchmark in Indian Action Cinema
Being touted as one of the bloodiest action films to hit Indian screens, Kill has already created ripples with its raw and brutal action. Performed by Korean action director Se-Yeong-Oh, the cold-bloodedness of these scenes has left audiences stunned. The film revolves around Amrit Rathod, an NSG commando played by Lakshya, who is on a mission to save passengers aboard a train from a gang of knife-wielding bandits. Fani, the gang leader of these thieves, played by Raghav Juyal, is a fear in himself, and one can be assured that Juyal’s first outing as a bad guy will surely make him memorable.

The audience was so involved with it—whistling, clapping, laughing, and even crying. Midway, I almost had tears too.” His performance, along with a stellar, spine-chilling appearance by Raghav Juyal as Fani, has kept audiences engaged in the film.
