Compared to first and second cases this one does not have much twists it's is just a regular crime story but the taking the screenplay NANI acting, violence and gore scenes of the film make it amazing. For those who like action and violence will definitely enjoy the film but for people who are intrested in the story may not enjoy it much. But still visuals and technically it is very good. Even the action choreography was nice with utmost realism like not putting finger on the trigger all the time handling gun professional and ofcourse in some parts of action movie team took cinematic liberty like chopping of thighs in one swing which is impossible for humans as thighs are one of the hardest bones in human body. And the long take during action was awesome it gave a vibe of extraction. When nani's body is shown in the end with all the muscles you will be convinced that this person can really kill as many people as he did on the screen. Cameo's gave high at the end of the movie.
Nani serves as the heart of the film - this time he confronts a ruthless syndicate called CTK which believes in killing people brutally and selling their organs - this group has a registered website and the killings are executed following due procedures - will he be able to apprehend them and stop the massacre - will he be able to mend ties with his dad - action is over the top - running time needs to be reduced by 15 minutes - audiences should brace themselves for the fourth installment.
#HITTheThirdCase rating 3/5, director Sailesh Kolanu, heroine Srinidhi Shetty, released in cinemas on 1 May 2025.

Did HIT the 3rd case really do justice to the first 2 cases? The answer is yes, it justice. The way the movie present the story and the characters really impressive. The character of Nani as Arjun Sarkar a violent and arrogant officer and Pratik Babbar as a psychopath was mind-blowing. The first half of the movie really perfect but the 2nd half was crazy ever. The climax keeps you shocked. The performance of every character specially Nani give justice to the story line and the way the character written. It's going to be a blockbuster. And now coming to the cameos it was a wow moment for me and the last cameo which setup the 4th part of the movie really work and I'm excited for it's part 4. But one problem that I have is what happened to the first case actor Vishwask Sen, why he is still not coming to any part and and what happened to him is still a mystery? I wanna see him in this universe once again. But go to theatre and enjoy the movie, I suggest you to not to miss this movie.
The HIT franchise, which began with a promising start, has unfortunately seen a steady decline in narrative quality and originality with each installment.
HIT-1, while not without flaws, stood out for introducing the investigation thriller genre to mainstream Telugu cinema. The storytelling had noticeable shortcomings-particularly in pacing and a rather underwhelming, even silly, climax. However, it managed to keep audiences reasonably engaged with its freshness and novelty, which contributed to its success.
HIT-2, though attempting to build upon its predecessor, ended up being a weaker effort overall. Despite a few intriguing elements, the film suffered from a lack of narrative depth and an even less impactful climax. The genre conventions felt overly familiar, and the execution lacked the tension and originality expected from a thriller, making it feel like a retread of what we've seen before-only with less conviction.
HIT-3, regrettably, falls further down the slope. It leans heavily on violence and genre clichés, offering very little in terms of fresh content or emotional engagement. The film feels like a generic action thriller with a glossy exterior-thanks largely to improved production values and a notable star cast-but devoid of substance.
The first half trudges through a formulaic investigation arc that adds no innovation to the narrative. The second half abruptly shifts into a survival-action mode, seemingly inspired by the John Wick franchise, but lacks its finesse or justification. The action is over-the-top, the violence excessive, and the plot twists are painfully predictable. As a result, the film loses credibility and emotional connection with the audience.
Overall, HIT-3 feels overly cinematic and detached from reality, sacrificing depth for style. It's unfortunate that a franchise that began with potential has now become an exercise in style over substance.

Nani never disappoints! Wall Poster Cinema and Unanimous Productions have delivered great production values. Mickey J. Meyer's background score is peak-level excellence. Sanu John Varghese's cinematography is outstanding. The action and stunts are mind-blowing!
Writer and director Sailesh Kolanu has made a strong comeback with Hit 3. Nani, Srindhi, and the rest of the cast deliver impressive performances. The first half is engaging, with a gripping investigation and Nani's witty dialogue. The second half is packed with intense action sequences that keep you on the edge of your seat.
Every character is utilized effectively, and the climax is full of surprises. While the movie does contain violence, it's justified by the story. Overall, Hit 3 is a thrilling ride that lives up to expectations.

- TriviaNani in an interview revealed that while the previous films in the HIT franchise were whodunit (who committed the crime) thrillers where the investigation started and the killer was revealed only in the end, HIT 3 was not about 'who' but about 'how'. He further added that the film did not justify police brutality.
