Natural Star Nani keeps his dream run at the box office going with HIT: The Third Case, which has become a certified hit in its very first week. The crime thriller, which was released to huge expectations, showed good collections, proving once again that content-based cinema can strike gold — particularly when fueled by a consistent performer like Nani.
In just one week, HIT 3 has managed to collect a whopping ₹50 crore share worldwide, and the film’s gross collection is now approaching the ₹100 crore mark. This phenomenal performance has made it clear — Nani’s HIT 3 is a bonafide winner, silencing doubts about the film’s slightly niche genre.
Break-Even Achieved Early, Success Sealed
The financial performance of HIT: The Third Case has brought smiles to the faces of producers and distributors alike. Most buyers have already achieved breakeven in the first week itself, a rare feat in today’s volatile box office climate. For several territories, the breakeven was achieved even without including GST, which highlights the strength of the film’s core content and Nani’s box office appeal.
The one segment which lagged slightly was the ceded territory, where collections were less than in other territories. Industry sources are still hopeful, saying that if the second weekend is good, even the ceded territory will be able to breach the breakeven point — perhaps turning the HIT 3 success universal in all the circuits.
Nani: The Driving Force Behind the HIT Franchise
The success of HIT: The Third Case also reaffirms Nani’s stature as one of Telugu cinema’s most bankable stars. Known for his consistent performances and smart script choices, Nani has now scored another win — one that extends his streak of box office successes. His shift to darker and more experimental genres such as crime thrillers has been welcomed, particularly by urban viewers who have devoured the suspenseful plot and compact screenplay of the movie.
While HIT 3 belongs to a genre that typically caters to a select segment of the audience, Nani’s star power managed to widen its appeal, drawing family audiences and younger viewers alike. His ability to bring emotional depth to his characters while also delivering commercially viable performances is what sets him apart. Whether it’s a romantic drama, family entertainer, or a gritty investigative thriller, Nani’s versatility continues to win hearts and box office battles.
Content and Execution Click With the Audience
The movie, made by Sailesh Kolanu, is the third installment of the successful HIT franchise, which has only increased in popularity with each passing edition. This third installment presents a more complex story, richer character arcs, and cliff-hanger storytelling — all of which have hit the correct note among audiences.
The critics appreciated the film’s densely packed script, involving plot turns, and atmospheric background score, which raised the overall movie experience. More significantly, the word-of-mouth among the audience has continued to be strongly positive, which resulted in high weekday figures even after the expected post-weekend slump.
The technical details too — particularly the cinematography and the sound design — have received broad acclaim, offering that much polish to the storytelling. The production values show the increasing confidence of the producers in this franchise, and looking at the response, the HIT universe may see some more films in the near future.
Box Office Momentum Holds Strong
With no big releases colliding in its second week, HIT 3 has maintained a good number of screens in Telugu states and overseas territories. The movie will continue to go up on collections in the next weekend, with family audiences showing up more and more after listening to good word.
Trade analysts are confident that HIT 3 will enter the ₹100 crore club globally in a matter of days, making it one of Nani’s top-grossing films ever. For a genre like crime investigation — typically seen as more urban-centric — these numbers are a clear sign that audiences are evolving and embracing new storytelling formats.
This victory also reinforces the HIT franchise brand, paving the way for a larger and potentially pan-Indian sequel in the future. It’s now clear that viewers are willing to follow these detective thrillers as long as they’re made with brains and emotional depth.
A Franchise and Star on the Rise
As HIT 3 keeps bringing in crowds to the theatres, the future seems brighter than ever for Nani and the HIT franchise. The actor, who had already savored critical and box office success with movies like Dasara, Shyam Singha Roy, and Jersey, is now solidifying his status as the face of varied Telugu cinema.
The franchise itself has set a solid template — a combination of suspense, human drama, and crime-solving genius. If the success so far is anything to go by, viewers will soon be primed for HIT: The Fourth Case, and more.

Conclusion: HIT 3 Is Not Just a Movie, It’s a Movement
In an age where many big-budget films fail to recover costs, HIT: The Third Case has not only covered its investment quickly but also emerged as a massive theatrical success, especially given its genre. Thanks to Nani’s magnetic performance, strong direction, and gripping content, the film has turned into a surprise box office juggernaut.
As the numbers climb and audience praise pours in, one thing is crystal clear — Nani’s HIT 3 is not just another installment; it’s a benchmark in Telugu investigative thrillers, and a strong reminder that when content and craft meet the right star, magic happens.
