HIT: The 2nd Case

7 stars HIT sounded and looked like an interesting movie and I had planned to watch after seeing the promos and trailer of Adivi Sesh's Second Case. It interested me enough to put the previous movie as well in my list but somehow both movies were pushed down in my TBW (to be watched) list with my priority and propensity to watch my listed English movies followed by Malayalam, Bengali, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Hindi in that order.

I have seen Adivi Sesh on screen in other movies in negative roles and liked his screen presence. Here in The Second Case he plays close to his normal screen persona, a cool dude and plays it well.

For people who have seen the earlier movie (I saw this first and saw Vishwak's movie second. Have not seen the Hindi movie) Sesh is the absolute anti-thesis to Vishwak's character, laid back and analytical.

This movie and Sesh' character does not have any emotional baggage but the story here is stronger than the first one and is well written. The direction and atmosphere is above board and relentless.

The story is well paced and the characters emote well. Rao Ramesh plays his part and Srinath reprises his role from the earlier movie. Suhas shines late in the movie bringing a cool ruthlessness that I haven't seen in any of his earlier movies although he has shown glimpses of his raw power in Prasanna Vadanam.

Nani's late entry bodes well for the series with the third movie having released earlier this month while I'm writing this review.

I would love a story about Vishwak's panic attacks and that should make for a compelling background story.

Unlike the police world created by Rohit Shetty with his Singham series this series from Nani's production has the potential to take on new levels as long as the star power is kept in the background which I can only comment after watching Nani in the 3rd Case.

The movie is compelling and Sesh is an actor whose moves are well prepared here.

Recommend this for people who have not seen this. Check it out on Prime OTT lke me.

Actually when I saw the movie it was great content by all means, recently I read a book my disappointment on director he copied everything from a book of crucifix killer by chris carter which is converted to Telugu nativity and screenplay is straight from the book, if they bought the rights from the author it's very good but I don't think they bought rights because the original author had to benifit from his creative work If anybody has doubts just read the book.

Climax is changed from what it is in book the serial killer motive is different everything else is same as book, it is pity of the director work don't do this , original creator should have what they deserve.

Movie starts well but ending revealing serial killer was expected one and not surprised.

Main villain as an actor got good recognition in last 2-3 years. He was shown less than 10minutes screen time till climax portions so obviously movie lover and follower knows more to come from him in the movie.

Next thing, it was not convincing that killer give newspaper ad same day for both his father obituary and his business ad. Any smart killer will not do that.

Acting wise all did great job, movie keeps interesting till full first half and sometime for second half. Definitely one time watch if you like crime/thriller zone.

Ticks all the boxes for a good investigation thriller . Once again Sailesh Kolanu delivered a gripping investigation after HIT 1 . Connection between HIT 1 and 2 gave more excitement while watching . Usual serial killer investigation story and follows the same template , but screenplay did the magic . First half took it's own time to build the story , started with romance track and some usual commercial stuff , right after getting into the case it gets our complete attention . Second half was complete engaging , but Climax was bit stretched . Drawback , had some logical issues . Adivi Sesh did a good job . Max ( Dog ) was the show stealer . Overall a not a great one , but falls under the category of GOOD sequel . Waiting for Arjun Sarkar's ( Nani ) show in HIT : The 3rd Case .

Film Review: HIT - The 2nd case #sanjuzzreviews #HITTheFirstCase #AdiviSesh #hitthesecondcase #primevideoindia A sequel to the 2020 psychological thriller starring Vishwak Sen (HIT The 1st Case), this one has a new protagonist --Adivi Sesh.

Story : A young woman's body is found brutally dismembered. However on closer examination by forensics, it is found that body parts of 4 girls have been placed together to make it seem that it is the body of a single woman. The HIT ( Homicide Intervention Team) headed by Adivi Sesh now have a tough job on their hand to apprehend the serial killer & find answers as to why he's perpetrating the heinous crimes.

Adivi Shesh as SP Krishna Dev (KD) looks dashing & suave and seamlessly gets into the skin of the protagonist to deliver a stupendous performance. It's his film all the way and he doesn't disappoint. Others in the cast like Meenakshi Choudhary, Komalee Prasad and others have given decent performances.

The narrative is fast paced, tight & gripping with slick editing. Action scenes have been choreographed and climax is awesome. This film has all the ingredients of a great psychological thriller!!

The ending has a special cameo by " Natural Star Nani" who is expected to take over the 3rd film of this franchise. Nani's screen presence & swag in the 2 minute scene is just brilliant and sets the tone for a much awaited sequel.

Highly recommended!! Both films in this franchise are brilliant. You can watch it on Prime Video once it releases on OTT. Watch it in theatres if you can!!

I'll go with 4/5 for this one .. adios🙂!!
