The action thriller Kill, directed by Nikhil Nagesh Bhat and produced by Karan Johar, has been making waves at the box office since its release on July 5. Starring Lakshya, Raghav Juyal, and Tanya Maniktala, the film has captivated audiences with its intense and raw action sequences, leaving a significant mark on Indian cinema.

Word of mouth has played a crucial role in the film's growth. Kill earned 2.20 crore on its second day (Saturday) and 2.70 crore on its third day (Sunday). Maintaining its momentum, the film passed the Monday test with a collection of 1.30 crore, closely matching its opening day earnings. 

In its third weekend, Kill showcased a solid hold, with collections of 50 lakhs on Friday, 95 lakhs on Saturday, and 1.05 on Sunday, bringing the total collection to 20.86 crore. This impressive performance has cemented Kill as a cult hit for Dharma Productions.

Kill has also outperformed Laapataa Ladies, crossing its business of 1.8 crore in the third weekend. Kiran Rao’s directorial Laaptaa Ladies registered Rs 20.58 crore as its total box office run. Despite a low collection, the film received massive love and attention when streamed on Netflix. The romance drama showcasing a village story struck a chord with the audience. Laapataa Ladies is headlined by new faces Nitanshi Goel, Pratibha Ranta and Sparsh Shrivastava. Directed by Kiran Rao, the movie is jointly produced by Aamir Khan and Jyoti Deshpande under Aamir Khan Productions and Jio Studios. 

Kill is praised for its severe and raw action sequences, shot in a confined setting, making it one of the most violent films in Bollywood. It stands out as a pioneering genre film in India, paving the way for a new era of action cinema. Leveraging terrific word of mouth, Kill remains a solid performer in cinemas, setting new benchmarks for action thrillers in Indian cinema.
