"#Kill sees an upward trend in its opening weekend, but the results could’ve been better if it had been released on a different date… Let’s face it, #Kill has the merits, even the word of mouth is unanimously positive, but the #Kalki2898AD juggernaut has eclipsed its biz," read the caption.

What is the movie all about?

The extremely violent movie follows the story of army commando Amrit (Lakshya) who finds his love in Tulika (Tanya Maniktala). However, things change when both find themselves trapped in the train taken over by Fani (Raghav Juyal) and his gang, who begin to mercilessly kill the passengers. On July 1, 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-language remake of the film.
