Kill, an action-packed film set on a moving Rajdhani Express is set to release on 5 July. The producers are super proud of the acclaim it has received internationally. It was a runner-up for the People’s Choice Awards at the Toronto International Film Festival. International production company Lionsgate acquired its distribution rights and Chad Stahelski’s 87Eleven has decided to make an English remake of the film. In this sense, it is a high-achieving film even before its release in India.
But often international or critical acclaim can not transform into a high Box Office earning. On top of this, some have started questioning the ethical concerns associated with the hand-to-hand action shot in this film and what impact it will have on the audience. Despite all this, it is going to be no Animal! Animal was critically butchered for its problematic portrayal but went on to do exceptionally well on the big screens. It glorified and created a stylized appeal for violence.
The director of Kill believes the extreme violence of this film should not be criticized, just like a horror film will not be criticized for scaring people. Also, it does not have the same buzz and high-end glamourous music or storyline as Animal, it will most probably have a limited section of viewers, and many would avoid it for the extreme bloodshed and gore.
