HIT 3 box office collection Day 2: Nani-starrer surpasses HIT 2's lifetime total in just two days, earns Rs 31 crore
HIT 3 Box Office Collection Day 2: The highly anticipated HIT The Third Case, delivered a respectable collection of Rs 21 crore on its opening day. But as the trend of failing numbers continued throughout the country, the second day saw HIT 3's collections drop by almost 50%. According to industry tracker Sacnilk, the Nani-starrer earned Rs 10 crore on its second day at the box office. While this is a huge drop, the movie has managed to surpass the total nett earnings of its predecessor, HIT 2.
HIT 2 had actor Adivi Sesh at the centre. But the film opened to a weak collection of Rs 6.4 crore, which further dipped the next day to Rs 5.35 crore. After a tough and slow 21 days at the Telugu box office, the film could only amass Rs 25.92 crore. However, its sequel, led by Nani, already sits at Rs 31 crore in India nett collection after just two days at the box office.

The occupancy rates of the film slowly rose throughout the day, as the morning and afternoon shows managed 34% and 54%, respectively, and the evening and night shows managed 54% and 66%, respectively. There is no doubt that the film is going to have a bigger impact on the box office than its predecessor. All of this is thanks to the involvement of Nani, who is a much bigger star.
Directed and written by Sailesh Kolanu, who has helmed all the other HIT projects, the cast of the film includes Nani, Adivi Sesh, Srinidhi Shetty, Rao Ramesh, Niveta Thomas and Brahmaji. HIT 3 has been compared to the Ranbir Kapoor-starrer Animal (2023), Haneef Adeni's Unni Mukundan-led Marco (2024) and Nikhil Nagesh Bhat's Kill (2023), featuring Lakshya.
The actor quickly defended the film and dismissed the comparisons by saying, 'I don't think HIT 3 should be put in the same bracket as Animal, Kill, or Marco. HIT 3 follows a different grammar. When you watch the film at a stretch, everything fits so naturally that the violence won't be an issue. You won't feel the intense portions are out of place. Once the lights go off, people will be completely immersed in the world of HIT 3.'

Thug Life box office collection day 3: Kamal Haasan film hold steady, collects ₹28 crore
Thug Life box office collection day 3: Mani Ratnam's Kamal Haasan, Silambarasan TR and Trisha Krishnan-starrer Thug Life was released in theatres on Thursday. With lukewarm reviews and disappointed reactions flooding the internet, the film seems not to have benefited, especially given its comparisons to their 1987 film Nayakan. According to Sacnilk, the film collected ₹28.49 crore net in India by its first Saturday. (Also Read: Thug Life worldwide box office collection day 2: Kamal Haasan film lags behind Indian 2, PS 1-2 at ₹52 crore) The numbers for Thug Life seem to hold steady after the massive dip the film registered on Friday. According to the trade website, the Mani-directed film made ₹15.5 crore on its opening day and ₹7.15 crore on Friday, showing a 53.87% dip. On Saturday, the film brought in an estimated ₹5.84 crore, taking its total collection to ₹28.49 crore approximately in India. It registered a 35.62% occupancy for the Tamil version. While these numbers are decent, Thug Life has suffered not just due to comparisons from Nayakan, but also due to its release being halted in Karnataka due to the language row. Housefull 5's release on Friday also seems to have affected its Hindi collections. Before the film's release, Kamal extensively promoted it and was excited for his reunion with Mani after 38 years. As per ANI, he told the press, 'Every film is a challenge, especially when you add another director like Mani Ratnam and a story that is so interesting. Fortunately, he included me in the story's preparation. I gave him an idea. Most of the time I was getting vegetables and helping him make it more tasty. That's what I did. And that I call a true are both children of cinema, and that is how we see each other.' Thug Life sees Kamal play Shaktivel, aka Shakti and Silambarasan, his adopted son, Amar. Ashok Selvan, Aishwarya Lekshmi, Joju George, Ali Fazal, Sanya Malhotra, and Rohit Saraf also star in the film.
