HIT: The Third Case OTT Verdict: After glorious box office run, here's how netizens are reacting to Nani starrer
Netizens react to HIT 3 OTT debut
Viewers felt HIT 3 delivered an action-packed experience with a decent screenplay. Many highlighted the climax for its intense action sequences, while Srinidhi Shetty was praised for convincingly portraying her role.
However, the background score and songs were described as 'passable' by most. Some viewers also found the cult group storyline lacking in emotional depth, and felt the final hour of the film was flat and underwhelming.
Overall, the general sentiment leaned toward the film being below average. However, some viewers noted that HIT 3 changed their perception of Nani, proving that he could handle mass roles effectively. His dialogue delivery was seen as much improved compared to past attempts in similar genres. Many felt this shift in performance suited his character, Arjun Sarkaar, quite well.
"With hit 3 @NameisNani changed my perception about him being unable to pull off mass cinema he definitely can and the dialogue modulation drastically changed from his previous films where he attempted such roles it has helped so much for this character," wrote a netizen on X after watching HIT 3 on Netflix.
Check out the reactions below:

War 2: Kiara Advani Wishes ‘Dearest' Ayan Mukerji Happy Birthday With Unseen Pic
Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR and Kiara Advani's high-octane spy thriller War 2 hit theatres on August 14, coinciding with the release of Rajinikanth's Coolie. Kiara Advani gave fans a delightful treat as she wished filmmaker Ayan Mukerji a happy birthday with an unseen behind-the-scenes picture from the sets of War 2. The actress took to her Instagram Stories to share the snap, calling him her 'dearest director" and adding a heartfelt birthday message. Taking to her Instagram stories, Kiara Advani shared a photo in which she is seen posing with Hrithik Roshan and Ayan Mukerji. 'happy happy birthday my dearest director Ayan Mukerji," wrote the caption. Directed by Ayan Mukerji, War 2 is the latest chapter in Yash Raj Films' ever-expanding Spy Universe. Hrithik Roshan returns as Major Kabir Dhaliwal, but this time the stakes are even higher — Kabir has gone rogue, emerging as India's most dangerous villain. War 2: Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR and Kiara Advani's high-octane spy thriller War 2 hit theatres on August 14, coinciding with the release of Rajinikanth's Coolie. Directed by Ayan Mukerji and produced by Yash Raj Films, the film opened to solid box office numbers despite clashing with another massive release. Fans flocked to theatres to watch the action-packed drama, curious to see Hrithik and Jr NTR share the screen for the first time. Despite mixed critical reviews, War 2 managed a strong Day 1 collection, proving the pull of its star cast and YRF branding. War 2 Day 1 Box Office Report According to early estimates from Sacnilk, War 2 earned Rs 52.50 crore on its opening day across all languages. The Hindi version led the collections with Rs 29 crore, while Telugu contributed Rs 23.25 crore, and a minor Rs 0.25 crore came from other languages. While these numbers are impressive, Coolie edged ahead on Day 1, grossing around Rs 65 crore in India. Industry watchers are now keen to see how both films perform over the extended Independence Day weekend, with audiences split between Rajinikanth's mass entertainer and the YRF spy universe sequel. Jr NTR, in an official statement, reflected on his collaboration with Hrithik Roshan, saying, 'I think mine and Hrithik Roshan garu's careers started at the same time. When I watched Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai long back, I went mad. He is one of the greatest dancers in the country right now. My journey started off by admiring him. After all these years, I got the chance to act and dance with him." Audience response: War 2 has been widely praised for the on-screen chemistry between Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR. News18 Showsha's review noted, 'Hrithik is in his comfort zone and he gives it his all to make Kabir earnest and charismatic. Jr NTR seems like the perfect fit for Vikram/Raghu as he gets to play to his strengths. He needed a larger-than-life image and a back story to justify his ambitions, and the makers provided him so. He matches Hrithik's intensity in equal measure, creating a magnetic interplay that turns every shared moment into a collision of tension and charm. Their chemistry is the kind that sparks scenes alive, making even dialogue-free sequences throbbing with unspoken energy. In a nutshell, Jr NTR's foray into Bollywood territory is nothing short of electric. And Anil Kapoor and Ashutosh Rana render ample support to them."

Gopi Puthran On Mandala Murders' Netflix Triumph: 'If We Stay True To Our Roots...'
Last Updated: Mandala Murders tops Netflix India for three weeks and ranks 7th globally. Creator Gopi Puthran says its success lies in rooted, mythical storytelling that connects deeply. Mandala Murders is proving to be one of Netflix India's most enduring hits of 2025. Three weeks after its release on July 25, the crime thriller continues to dominate as the platform's most-watched Indian series, while also securing the 7th position among Netflix's most-viewed TV shows globally last week. The show's creator, Gopi Puthran, attributes its success to a deep connection with India's cultural roots and mythical identity. Set in a small, fictional town, Mandala Murders weaves a narrative steeped in local myths and mystery — a combination that Puthran believes resonates strongly with audiences both in India and abroad. 'India is a country that is deeply connected and awed by its roots. Myths are embedded deep within our DNA because of the stories that were handed down over generations by our elders, which is why we instantly connect to content with such tonality," Puthran explained. 'What is really heartening to see is how Mandala Murders has connected with people's psyche due to this. Partnering with Netflix, with its incredible reach, has enabled the series to be sampled by viewers who want content laced with myths and mysteries of India." According to Puthran, the show's global appeal lies in its authentic depiction of India's mythical undercurrents — a cultural texture that fascinates international viewers. He also points to smaller towns and cities across India embracing the show's storytelling, proof that authenticity has wide appeal. 'If we are true to our identity, there will be takers for shows like Mandala Murders or Mirzapur, which also showed that people want to connect to authentic and disruptive storytelling that is rooted. We're thrilled with the huge success of Mandala Murders and I'm sure many more makers will now be encouraged to explore stories and deliver them in this genre," he said. Produced by YRF Entertainment and co-directed by Gopi Puthran and Manan Rawat, the series stars Vaani Kapoor in the lead, alongside a stellar ensemble including Vaibhav Raj Gupta, Surveen Chawla, Shriya Pilgaonkar, Siddhanth Kapoor, Rahul Bagga, Raghubir Yadav, and Monica Choudhary. With its blend of gripping mystery, rich mythology, and compelling performances, Mandala Murders is not just a streaming success — it's a testament to the enduring power of rooted, culturally resonant storytelling. view comments First Published: August 15, 2025, 16:54 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
