Nikhil Nagesh Bhatt’s ‘Kill’ starring Raghav Juyal, Lakshya and Tanya Maniktala has taken a good opening in India. According to industry tracking site Sakanilak, the gory thriller has earned Rs 1.35 crore at the domestic box office.

The only film to release in Indian theatres on Friday was Raghav’s ‘Kill’. Earlier, Ajay Devgn and Tabu’s ‘Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha’ was also scheduled to release on July 5. However, now the release of this film has been postponed.

According to the makers, ‘Kill’ earned Rs 1.35 crore on its first day. Raghav Juyal shared a note on his Instagram handle and urged fans to watch the film in theatres.

In the caption, he also wrote, “Warning: This film contains violent content that may be intense and disturbing for some viewers. Viewer discretion is advised.”

‘Kill’ is facing a tough competition from last week’s release Nag Ashwin’s post-apocalyptic science-fiction epic ‘Kalki 2898 AD’. The film, which released on June 27, is doing great business at the global and domestic box office. Made on a huge budget, ‘Kalki’ is inching towards the Rs 800 crore mark globally.

On the other hand, ‘Kill’ produced by Karan Johar and Guneet Monga is an adult film with bloody action. ‘Kill’ first premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival, where it received very good reviews. Critics described it as ‘dazzling’ and one of them called it an ‘almost perfect action thriller’.

In an earlier interview with Variety, Karan Johar spoke about the genre of the film and said, “It is the most violent film ever made in India.”

Apart from Raghav, Tanya and Lakshya, the film also stars Ashish Vidyarthi in a lead role.
