Killa

What a performance ....by each and everyone in the movie..... really cool....The scenic beauty is awestruck. Typical Country Side look. In short...simple...elegant and really heart touching.

The movie doesn't require language to understand the plot. It seems like a rhythm without music. It is an experience everyone should have. Marathi film industry has proved again that creating a Masterpiece is not a work of money but it requires immense Talent and hard work. The film was appreciated by many international institutions and released late in India, but still it carries wisdom in its every frame.

ExcelVision has another huge feature on its crown by welcoming Mr. Avinash Arun (Director) in Marathi film industry. Very happy with the overall performance and humor. Not finding much to say, but urge everyone to watch KILLA once for the beauty of Mother Nature and excellent roles by the kids in the film.

Very proud to be from Maharashtra. This will be the first Marathi film which I have rated 9/10 on IMDb. Keep up the good work.

This movie has theme floating all around... primarily about what life has to offer is bizzare feeling..it's upon us to feel it in the right way. It deals with a single parent problem.It tells the challenges one face due to dislocation. It draws a picture of childhood and what we see through innocent eyes mean more than what it seems from distant. The movies setting..nature..ponds..ocean..bridge..lighthouse..these are those things that we remember from our own childhood. These places have stories of their own. Boy meets a fisherman to say..and has an experience that changes him or makes him realise..to be grateful. Dialogues are very precise.camera work is so delicate that u miss urself in the scene.and come out at the cut. This is one of the best coming of age that u will see.

Having spent my childhood in Konkan, I couldn't resist getting nostalgic feeling throughout the movie. The movie goes on in a smooth rhythm. All the characters and the events feel so real. All the actors are perfect in their respective roles.

In many scenes the surroundings speak more than the dialogs. Although, I thought the Marathi language was not exactly how people from Konkan would speak.

The photography is very beautiful. Especially the monsoon and the sea are shot beautifully. The sequence shot on the fort was a delight to watch. It is one of those few movies which stays with you even after it is over!

Another good film from India's 'indie' film movement.

A quiet, simple, sweet/sad portrait of an 11 year old Indian boy dealing with being uprooted from his big city home to a small seaside town after his mother is transferred. He feels like he doesn't fit in, but slowly starts to make friends and a life for himself, only to face various challenges to his equilibrium.

Not a lot happens -- this is more a film of mood and detail than of plot and action. Indeed, for a while I got frustrated waiting for the big dramatic shoe to drop before finally catching on that this wasn't that kind of film. Like real life, even the more 'dramatic' moments are unfinished and their impact unclear. The acting is generally very good, as is the photography.

Nothing that new, but still, a quietly haunting little film that captures the sadness and joy of starting to grow up with tenderness, empathy and gentle humor.
