HIT: The 3rd Case

Hit 3: One of the craziest and most violent movie in the Indian movie history!

Director takes us through a genre of Kill Bill and John Wick, with a blend of investigative psycho thriller and a touch of Indian romance.

Nani goes berserk with full fledge violence ripping and cutting baddies apart. One of his best in terms of anger, blood boiling emotions and hair rising action sequences.

Srinidhi Shetty plays a pivotal role.

The plot keeps you hooked till the end and background music is terrific.

Few pleasant surprises in the climax that gives you pure goosebumps.

It is only for 18+ audience as it has plenty of gore. Not for faint hearted or eye closing audience!

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.

Before I delve into the issues I have, I would like to express my admiration for certain aspects of the film, first & foremost, Nani's performance, and the script's able handling of intense scenes, be it the investigative segments or the climactic confrontation in the final half of the story.

Now coming to the problems, I found that the whole plot lacked emotional resonance; it couldn't effectively harness emotions in a meaningful way.

Now as for someone who enjoys relentless gore and bloodshed, I found the kills and the overall bloodbath in the final hour to be engaging. However, I was left with a sense of dissatisfaction, mainly because these moments of violence did not feel 'earned' or 'justified.' They appeared to be mere byproducts of style and encashing the present day trend rather than yielding substance with some meaning.

Whilst, Nani's performance left a significant impression on me, his character could have benefited from deeper material.

If the filmmakers had taken the time to elaborate on his troubled past, it would have enriched his character and provided a more compelling understanding of his eccentric personality.

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.

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.
