HIT 3 Box Office Day 6: At Budget of ₹70 Cr., Nani’s Flick Still ₹11.59 Cr Short Despite Impressive Run

Nani’s HIT 3 crosses ₹58 crore mark in six days, becomes 5th highest Telugu grosser of 2025, but struggles to enter the profit zone with ₹11.59 crore left for full budget recovery.

May 8, 2025: Nani’s HIT 3, despite being one of the strongest performers in Telugu cinema this year, is still short of full budget recovery. As of Day 6, the cop thriller has earned ₹58.41 crore at the box office, leaving it ₹11.59 crore away from recovering its ₹70 crore production budget.

The film, directed by Sailesh Kolanu, opened with a massive ₹21 crore on Day 1, but has since seen a steady decline. Tuesday, May 6, brought in ₹2.61 crore — the film’s lowest single-day total so far.
