Produced by Dharma Productions and Sikhya Entertainment, the Hindi movie is billed as the "most violent film made out of India".
Starring Lakshya, Raghav Juyal and Tanya Maniktala in the lead, "Kill" released in theatres on Friday.
Dharma Productions revealed the film's latest box office figures on its official X page.

The caption of the post stated, "The '#KILL' express is having a bloody good ride!Book your tickets. 'Kill' in cinemas now.

According to the makers, "Kill" collected Rs 1.35 crore nett on its opening day in India and raised another Rs 2.20 crore on Saturday, bringing its total domestic box office earnings to Rs 3.55 crore.
The Hindi-language movie follows the story of Indian Army commando Amrit (Lakshya) who finds his love in Tulika (Maniktala). But, things go awry when the lovers find themselves trapped in a train taken over by Fani (Juyal) and his gang, who begin to mercilessly kill the passengers.
"Kill" received its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival last year where it received a favourable response from the audience. It was also adjudged the first runner-up in the People's Choice Midnight Madness Award category.
Days before its release, it was announced that American filmmaker Chad Stahelski will produce the English-language remake of "Kill" via his banner 87Eleven Entertainment for Lionsgate.
Stahelski, best known for directing Hollywood blockbuster franchise "John Wick" starring Keanu Reeves, described the movie as "one of the most vivid, wild, and creative action movies" he had seen recently.
"Kill" also stars Ashish Vidyarthi and Harsh Chhaya in pivotal roles. It is produced by Karan Johar and Apoorva Mehta for Dharma Productions, and Guneet Monga Kapoor and Achin Jain under Sikhya Entertainment.
