HIT: The 2nd Case

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 .

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.

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.

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.

2nd part has unnecessary emotional scenes, lacked the maturity of the 1st one, writing was somewhat lazy. Please improve but as a standalone story its a 1 time watch. Be authentic atleast in crime stories. Stop sending an SP of a district to a bloody investigation alone where he's definitely sure he'll be confronted by antagonists. Change the writing we are bored of these silly things. Anyway 1st one was way better. Tollywood has very few good stories without unnecessary scenes inserted for sake of emotion.
