HIT: The Third Case's plot overview
HIT: The Third Case follows Arjun Sarkaar, a top cop who is unexpectedly found in jail at the start of the story. Through flashbacks, we learn that he was investigating a horrific case involving a secretive cult called CTK (Capture, Torture, Kill). This group was involved in brutal murders and harvesting hormones from victims to create a drug for the elite. As Arjun dives deeper into the case, he uncovers a web of ritual killings, organ trafficking, and drug production tied to powerful people.
The investigation takes Arjun to Arunachal Pradesh, where he leads a mission to bring down the cult. In a major twist, it's revealed that Samuel Joseph, the man who helped Arjun in prison, was actually the mastermind behind the entire operation. Arjun confronts and kills him, bringing some closure to the case. The film ends with a tribute to ACP Dhanya Mohan, a fellow officer who sacrificed herself during the mission, and teases the next HIT part, set in Chennai.
HIT: The Third Case's review

This A-rated thriller does not hold back in portraying the darkest sides of humanity, with visuals that mirror its disturbing core.
