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.

Killa is a simple tale of a young Chinmay Kale and his short time in a village in Konkan, and yet it has so many layers. His anger towards leaving his old city, the loss of his father, the anxiety about living in a new place and meeting new people, the joy of making new friends and being accepted and finally the realization of his mother's importance, her grief, her struggles and acceptance of his own life.
All of the above is showed beautifully --- without exploiting any emotion or incident by overplaying the drama. Despite of that, every scene grabs you and your attention.
Debut film-maker Avinash Arun has done a fantastic job with direction and cinematography. But then again the canvas to work with was also beautiful. As someone who has a house in Konkan I can vouch for its beauty. Its white-sand beaches, clear blue seas, gorgeous light houses and lots and lots of coconut trees. Goa maybe the go to destination for many, but there are many hidden gems above in Maharashtra on that coastal line.
Amruta Subhash has done a good job, but that is expected from an actress of her caliber. But the movie belongs to the kids. They are the ones who surprise you and all of them are amazing. Parth Bhalerao will take all the credits for his role as the naughty Bandya, but Archit Deodhar (who played Chinmay Kale), Gaurish Gawade, etc are all brilliant as well. A special mention must be made to Umesh Jagtap who has a very small role of a drunk fisherman and he still leaves a mark.
Killa makes you laugh a lot and makes you sad in places, but best of all it takes you back to your own childhood, which would have been sprinkled with similar moments and friends.

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.
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.
Killa, a movie about 11 years old 7th grader school boy who has some friends in Konkan.
Kids and their childhood. What an amazing a simple story it is!
I don't understand the language of this movie so i watched with English subtitle. Don't worry. It's very easy to understand this movie. At first, i was so happy. Kids doing their kids things.
When i was a child i had similar story. My dad had a job but he got transferred into a different city. I lost some best friends. I am not sure whether I'm the right person to answer this question but here you go. Yes, same thing happened with me. And i know how much it hurts, i know especially when that someone used to be your best friend, someone with whom you used to share every little secret of yours. But you know what, those days are not going to come back and the fact is that you have got to move on. Sooner or later.
I can remember them now. You don't have to read any reviews or see any ratings. You can open your eyes and watch it without any doubt.
The place, I'm from Bangladesh and i never heard or saw konkan before. The place and landscape on this movie was so amazing and refreshing. The ocean view wow! I wish i could visit this place.
When i was watching this movie it felt like I'm in this movie. It feels so realistic to me. Some part was so joyful and some part are heartbreaking.
I'm giving 9/10 Because this movie deserves it. I really loved this movie. Worth to watch with full family.
