In ‘Kill’ there is only slaughter!
Recently watched a movie – KILL. After watching this film made under the banner of Dharma production, many questions arise in the mind. Is extreme violence now a mainstay of entertainment? Have the doomsday days of entertainment arrived? After all, what do filmmakers want? Why are they killing entertainment? After all, why is there competition for film violence in our film industry? After watching some of today’s popular movies, one wonders why the definition of entertainment is being changed? Seeing the kill feels like we’re watching Animal’s next-level danger game. Someone is slaughtering someone like a goat and someone is slaughtering someone like a chicken.
Trust me, this thrill of dangerous scenes is also a heart killer. But it seems like the audience is enjoying it too. Just as someone on screen stabs someone in the stomach or puts a weapon in the chest and quickly snaps the neck, the audience fastens their seat belts in the cinema halls too. There is blood and screams all over the screen. As if the silver screen has become bloodthirsty. The thrill of terror is at its peak. However, director Nikhil Nagesh Bhatt has been successful in his mission to portray this entertaining horror.
Violence with hammers and machetes
Not only Nikhil Bhatt but also new actors like Lakshya, Raghav and Tanya have done their job brilliantly. The film is in the limelight due to his brilliant performance. But the kind of ground the story is set for, the actual situation is no less ridiculous. A gang of forty dacoits boards the Rajdhani Express train by pulling their chains and targets the AC first class passengers. commits robbery. Causes bleeding. Surprisingly, they have weapons to unleash violence, which we saw in the movies of the sixties and seventies. You must have seen villains Madan Puri, Ranjith or Amjad Khan holding bloody daggers in many films. In the film, only a few of these thugs in jeans and T-shirts carry pistols, the rest indulge in violence with sticks and hammers.
Dagger’s Bloody Deed
It is noteworthy that these days large iron weapons are once again being used to depict violence in films. Vinod Khanna’s famous dialogue given to the robber character in Mukaddar Ka Sikandar – first learn to open a knife, then learn to use it. And the next moment they beat him to death. This was the era of knife scares in cinema. In the same film, in a fight scene, Amitabh Bachchan and Amjad Khan thrust a long iron rod into each other’s stomachs, causing them to bleed. Take a long leap in time and when we come to the era of Animal, we once again see Ranbir Kapoor and Bobby Deol similarly slitting each other’s throats with large iron weapons. Once again the blood boils over Katari’s exploits in Kill.
Meanwhile, films like Gharaal, Ghatak, Dar, Diwangi were also full of blood-soaked violent scenes, but still there was sensitivity to relationships, but in films like Animal and Kill, there is blood, there is blood. No concern for human life.
Security busted in trains
However, Kill is also a very unique film in a sense. After vacuuming the most luxurious coach of the Rajdhani train, which was running at high speed on the track for almost one and a half hours, a gang of 40 robbers entered but the security personnel inside the train did not even find a trace of them. It cannot be denied that this can happen in certain circumstances. But in a moving train, where the bloodbath continued for almost an hour and a half, people’s throats were being cut, their stomachs were being ripped open, weapons were sticking into their chests, how did the information of that chaotic scene reach the train driver? , Guard, TTE or control room reached, there is no provision in the train for this. The important question is, does the film point fingers at the shortcomings of railways without saying anything?
