Reception

Critical response

On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes , 90% of 98 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 7/10.The website's consensus reads: "A relentless thrill ride grounded in raw emotional stakes, Kill serves up a knuckle sandwich that action fans will gleefully eat up." [30] Metacritic rated the film with a score of 74 out of 100, based on 18 critics, citing "generally favorable" reviews. [31]

Zinia Bandyopadhyay of India Today awarded the film 4.5/5 stars and wrote "This is an absolute must-watch for all fans of action and otherwise." [32] Sukanya Verma of Rediff.com rated 4/5 stars and observed "An ultra-violent film about violence, Kill's greatest accomplishment isn't its death count alone but to challenge our perception of violence". [33] Bollywood Hungama gave 3.5/5 and wrote "On the whole, Kill is a violent and stylish action entertainer." [34] Saibal Chatterjee of NDTV gave 3.5/5 stars and expressed "Kill has a moral compass, a clear context for the 'war' that unfolds." [35] Rishil Jogani of Pinkvilla gave 3.5/5 stars and wrote "Kill as a film could work even better with a denser plot and a more dreadful antagonist." [36] Shubhra Gupta of The Indian Express stated "‘Kill’ is a lean, mean killing machine." [37] Shilajit Mitra of The Hindu praised Lakshya's performance and expressed "Lakshya, heavily hyped as Hindi cinema’s new ‘killing machine’, is sweaty, strong and seething. The young actor spurns the athleticism of a Tiger Shroff or Vidyut Jammwal, opting instead for a more centred, abrasive fighting style." [38] Uday Bhatia of Mint observed "Kill isn't really a hell-yeah action film. There’s no slo-mo, no release, no breathing room." [39] Nandini Ramnath of Scroll.in commented "The most memorable scene in Kill lands it straight in horror territory." [40] Kartik Bhardwaj of The New Indian Express rated 4/5 stars and wrote "It weaves a narrative of its own. The fist fights and the flying kicks come first." [41]

Kill earned acclaim from international critics. [42] [43]

Kim Newman of British Film Institute stated "The first half isn’t exactly slower, but basic relationships have to be established before the real action can start." [44] Jeannette Catsoulis of The New York Times rated the film R wrote "Manipulative to the max (one upsetting murder is almost pornographically protracted), “Kill” is dizzyingly impressive and punishingly vicious." [45] Catherine Bray of The Guardian opined "Kill’s objectives are achieved with an energy and enthusiasm that make it a tasty piece of action cinema which doesn’t pull its punches; it’s finger-cracking good." [46] Kevin Maher of The Times observed "The plot is painfully perfunctory, and places a lethal “national security guard commando” called Amrit". [47] Nate Richard of Collider rated the film B+ and wrote "Nikhil Nagesh Bhat's aggressively violent action flick is destined to become a cult classic." [48] Peter Debruge of Variety wrote "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." [49] Randy Myers of The Mercury News stated "After a groan-inducing 15 minutes of exposition, “Kill” lets go of all that baggage to become an outright blast while making a convincing argument for Lakshya becoming our next big action star." [50]

Frank Scheck of The Hollywood Reporter observed "The fight scenes are extremely well choreographed, filmed and edited, but they’re so relentless in their non-stop pacing that the viewing experience becomes numbing." [51] David Ehrlich of IndieWire rated the film B+ and expressed "“Kill” makes very, very good on its goofy title by the time all is said and done, but perhaps the most surprising thing about Bhat’s action extravaganza is that it inverts expectations without ever getting off-track." [52] Shakyl Lambert of CGMagazine rated 8.5/10 and wrote "Kill is one of the best action films of the year, and action fans need to keep this one on their radar." [53] Matt Donato of /Film rated the film 9 stars out of 10. He also stated "No joyous Bollywood dance interludes — this isn't RRR . Bhat's sublimely savage Kill has more in common with take-no-prisoners Indonesian badassery like The Night Comes for Us or The Raid, accentuating breakneck violence that flows like a gushing river of blood from gaping knife wounds." [54] Ross McIndoe of Slant Magazine rated the film R and wrote "The action is kinetic and chaotic as bodies are sent bouncing off seats, windows, floors, and ceilings." [55] Andrew Mack of Screen Anarchy observed "The violence is not fancy and intricate, but fast and harsh, with a survivor’s instinct at the forefront." [56] Barry Hertz of The Globe and Mail commented "For its first half-hour, Kill’s fights are plentiful if slightly pedestrian in their staging and speed." [57] Jonathan Hickman of Newnan Times-Herald gave 7/10 stars and wrote "By removing much of the heavy firepower associated with guns, Bhat’s film delivers visceral, bone-crunching sequences that have a significant impact despite their relatively overblown nature." [58] Critic Simon Abrams of RogerEbert.com gave a mixed review and wrote "Kill tics off most of the essential boxes for a good popcorn flick, making it easy to resist but harder to pass up." [59] Reviewing for Time Out Phil de Semlyen gave 3/5 star and wrote "Credit to Bhat, too, for departing with the tried-and-tested action movie template to deliver an unexpected, nihilistic mid-movie twist. The problem is the sense of déjà vu that creeps in thereafter." [60] Lyvie Scott of Inverse gave a mix review "Though Kill has its action down pat, it does lack a sense of narrative variety." [61]

Remake

On 1 July 2024, three days prior to Kill's North American theatrical release, Lionsgate and 87Eleven Entertainment, which have previously collaborated on the John Wick franchise, announced an English remake of the film. [62] [63] [64] Denying rumors regarding remakes in other languages aside the one in English, Dharma Productions issued a notice that "No other language remakes for Kill". [65] [66] [67] [68]
