Sharing the pictures from the premiere, Karan Johar wrote in the caption, "Ready to #KILL! World Premiere of KILL at Toronto International Film Festival - Midnight Madness Screening!
About the film, the official TIFF website wrote: “In Nikhil Nagesh Bhat's relentless martial arts thriller, a passenger train bound for New Delhi becomes a bloody battleground of brutal close-quarters combat as a pair of commandos square off against a 40-strong army of invading bandits. Star-crossed lovers Tulika (Tanya Maniktala) and Amrit (Lakshya) find their clandestine relationship jeopardised after Tulika's family whisks her aboard the Rajdhani Express bound for both New Delhi and an arranged marriage. Not willing to sit idly by, Amrit and his fellow commando buddy Viresh embark on a romantic “rescue” mission. But when the train is suddenly stormed by a gang of blade-wielding bandits, the stakes are considerably raised, and the two friends must rely on their martial arts prowess to dispatch the thieves and save the passengers.” The film was a part of the Official Selection at Toronto International Film Festival 2023.
Kill will be released in India on July 5, 2024.
