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.
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.

KILLA REVIEW- Wow is the only word when i left theater. Eagerly waiting for this movie because of its pre-release buzz and national award. So obviously expectations were high but i was expecting only quality or meaningful msg and film fulfill my expectations rather gave me surprise with its entertainment entertainment and entertainment. Shockingly film entertained me lot force me to laugh out loud and to throw whistles and claps to many scenes and dialogues. When you hear film has got national award we cant expect an entertaining film like there are films like Court from which we expected quality and it had quality overloaded.Films like this impresses us but fails to entertain but KILLA impresses us and entertain as well. Story starts with a simple plot a boy and his widow mother shifts to a small village due to her promotion in her government job. But the boy is not feeling friendly here in this village he is missing his cousin brother his uncle and his old place. He like to be silent always. Then he see a boys group having fun,doing naughty things,their vulgar conversation and how they are enjoying their lives. He starts to involve himself into that group and tries to be naughty like them but without leaving his interest in studies. One day they all go to a fort for a race but due to some misunderstanding and miss communication some circumstances comes into their friendship. And from here on story becomes meaningful that how the boy starts being smart and responsible. With the meaningful climax film ends on strong note. Acting is so natural that we all will fall in love with these boys. Each and every scene in school,their activities,dialogues are so natural. Audience were shouting, whistling, and clapping for those scenes. Really the most loved part of the film for me. Screenplay is tight and entertaining. With narrow runtime its completely enjoyable. There are no songs in the movie so cant talk about music but background music is impactful for scenes. I personally feel Sound work is awesome because whenever some vulgar words comes then sound goes low and we have to read subtitles to understand it. Camera work is good. Camera man succeeded in capturing beauty of nature. Direction wins the race here. I heard its his debut film but i just couldn't believe it after watching movie. He has done clap worthy job and i want to thank him for giving us such beautiful film. Final words,KILLA is masterpiece yet entertaining. Must watch for all ages and all kind of audiences like masses and classes. Classes will enjoy it and get some msg from the movie and masses will enjoy it if they doesn't understand the quality of film. Go and revisit your childhood and those golden moments of your school life. Kudos to the entire team of KILLA and thank you all from the bottom of my heart for giving yet another quality film to marathi cinema. 8 * Stars by me.
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!
