About the Film
Directed by Sailesh Kolanu, HIT 3 continues the narrative arc established in The First Case and The Second Case, this time featuring Nani as SP Arjun Sarkaar. The thriller follows his investigation into a dark web-linked criminal syndicate, unfolding across Hyderabad, Visakhapatnam, and Jammu & Kashmir.
The film also stars Srinidhi Shetty, Komalee Prasad, and Ravindra Vijay, and is produced under Wall Poster Cinema and Unanimous Productions.
Outlook & Weekend Prediction
Despite an impressive start, HIT 3’s earnings dropped significantly from Monday onward—a common trend for most releases post-holiday debuts. The upcoming second weekend will be critical for the film’s longevity at the box office.
Industry experts suggest that with new releases on the horizon, HIT 3 will need strong word-of-mouth and repeat viewership to sustain its box office run.
