A Dark Crime Thriller That Keeps Viewers Hooked
In HIT 3, Nani plays Arjun Sarkaar, a rebellious and highly skilled police officer investigating a disturbing murder case. The film follows his intense journey as he uncovers a twisted web of secrets behind a brutal series of killings. The storyline is dark and layered, with a mix of emotional depth and fast-paced action.

Social media is buzzing with reactions. One fan wrote, “Nani nailed it! The way he carries the emotions and action is next level. The second half is pure cinema.” Another added, “The last 30 minutes had me at the edge of my seat. Easily one of the best thrillers in Telugu cinema.”
Viewers Draw Comparisons to Squid Game
Many fans have noted that the film’s gritty visuals and emotionally intense scenes reminded them of Squid Game, the popular Korean survival drama. The murders in the film are shown with a level of realism and brutality that shocked many viewers—in a good way.
“The film felt like a Telugu version of Squid Game in parts. Very raw and emotional. The kind of thriller that stays with you,” a Twitter user commented.
Surprise Cameos Add to the Buzz
One of the biggest highlights of HIT: The Third Case is the surprise appearances by major stars. While the film’s marketing didn’t reveal these cameos, viewers were thrilled when familiar faces appeared on screen during key moments.
Fans say these appearances added to the emotional weight of the film and kept the experience exciting. “The cameos were amazing—completely unexpected and so well-timed. It elevated the film,” said a viewer on X (formerly Twitter).
First Half Draws Mixed Reactions, But Second Half Wins Praise
While most fans are applauding the film’s story and execution, some felt the first half was slower in pace. However, they also agree that the second half more than makes up for it, delivering a high-impact climax and several emotional payoffs.
One tweet summed it up well: “The first half is slow, but it's all part of the buildup. The final act is incredible. Nani delivers once again.”
