HIT 3 First Review OUT: Nani Delivers 'Unique' Performance, But Film Is 'Predictable, Mediocre'
Last Updated:
HIT: The Third Case Movie Review: While Nani's performance is commendable, the film's BGM and pacing fall flat.
HIT 3 First Review: One of the most anticipated Telugu movies, HIT: The Third Case, has been released on the big screens. The movie follows Nani's Arjun Sarkaar, who gets assigned to a high-priority case for HIT in Jammu and Kashmir. The early reviews for the Sailesh Kolanu directorial venture are in, and while Nani's performance is being appreciated by fans, the thriller itself is seemingly predictable.
One review of the film on X read, '#HIT3Review: #Nani Tried Something New but Predictable mostly & Worked out well – Appreciate the director #SaileshKolanu for this kind of Genre & Screenplay – Some outstanding Moments & Some weak moments – Watchable & slight Narration Overturned."

Another review mentioned, 'Positives: Nani 🔥💥💥, The Final Act 🥵👿, Concept 😮, Sailesh's Screenplay 👌, Cameos 💥. Negatives: Cliché investigation & few pacing dips, Weak emotion (1st half), Flat BGM. Final Verdict: An Engaging Suspense Thriller that serves its Purpose."
#HIT3Review:HIT 3 is a suspense thriller that stays true to its genre. #Nani delivers a never-before performance in his career and will be remembered as a unique one. There's one expression in the second half for the dialogue 'You're free"—it just shows what a volume of talent…

One user wrote, '#Nani delivers a never-before performance in his career and will be remembered as a unique one… As promised, the last 30 minutes of the film take a higher graph packed with surprises, and the 'final act' also makes the film one of the goriest films made in TFI. On the flipside, the investigative procedures and BGM falter. Especially, BGM is the biggest letdown for the film."
Another mentioned, '#Hit3 is a very violent action crime thriller that has moments that work well, but at the same time portions that are too run of the mill and narrated on the slower side." A review read, 'Hit 3 does many things right, especially in careful detailing of very minute things. However, I'm not sure why or whose decision it was to back these ideas of templated tropes. As a result, it will remain mediocre for me."
HIT 3 has been released on the same day as Suriya's romantic drama Retro and Ajay Devgn's much-awaited Raid 2. All films are expected to give each other a tough fight at the box office.

Tired of too many ads? go ad free now She shares, 'Milind is my soulmate. He is mature and balanced, and we waited for a long time to get engaged. It was his idea that we should get to know each other well, and that's why we waited for many years. I wanted to keep it a low-key affair, and so there were only family members present.' She adds, 'We'll soon set a wedding date. We plan to get married by the end of this year.' The couple has been in a long-distance relationship, with Milind based in Bengaluru and Avika in Mumbai. 'It's not easy. We both travel a lot for work. But I've learnt that a good companion is someone who's also your best friend and supports your dreams. Milind has always been supportive. When people recognise me as Anandi and pull my cheeks, he clicks pictures — he's proud of me. He brings stability to my spontaneous nature. ' Post marriage, Avika has no plans to move to a different city. She said, 'Just because my work is here, I would not want Milind to move to Mumbai either. I travel a lot for my South films, and Milind's parents stay in Hyderabad, so that will give me a chance to spend time with them.' 'Not a PR strategy' The engagement coincides with their participation in a reality show based on couples. Ask her if it's just a coincidence, and she says, 'I didn't want to announce the engagement because of the show, but then I thought, why not just go with it? It's not a PR strategy, just a coincidence.' Along with her acting projects, Avika turned producer with the Telugu film Popcorn. 'Just like my engagement, my production house is a dream come true. I'm happy with the path I've carved in showbiz,' she signs off. 'Balika Vadhu' fame Avika Gor all set to make her big Bollywood debut
