Killa (English: The Fort) is a 2015 Indian Marathi drama film directed by Avinash Arun. The film revolves around an 11-year-old child who has a difficult time coping with the death of his father. The film was selected for the 64th Berlin International Film Festival where it won the Crystal Bear by the Children's Jury in the Generation KPlus Selection.

At the 62nd National Film Awards, it was awarded the Best Feature Film in Marathi Award, also actor Parth Bhalerao received Special Mention for his roles in Killa and Bhoothnath Returns. The film was released on June 26, 2015.

An 11-year-old boy must juggle with the recent death of his father as well as cope with making new friends in an unfamiliar place after his mother gets a job transfer.Finally when he makes friends with his class mates,his mother gets another transfer to other place.The movie ends withe both mother and son moving to next place with disappointment.

The idea for Killa came to Avinash Arun when he was in the FTII and his father kept having to be transferred from job to job. Arun was having a difficult time finding work as a cinematographer, so he decided to pitch his idea to a fellow student Tushar Paranjape, who ended up turning it into a full script. When Indian indie production company JAR Pictures showed desire to fund independent cinema from up-and-coming directors, Avinash Arun told them about his story in March 2013. The company decided to greenlight the project, and it went on floors after four months.

The movie was released in Maharashtra, Karnataka, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Goa on 26 June 2015 in 225 screens.
