The much-awaited movie HIT: The Third Case, written and directed by Sailesh Kolanu, and featuring Nani, Srinidhi Shetty, and Prateik in the lead roles, opened to an impressive start at the box office. The film has raked in Rs 18 crore net from India on the opening day, giving the HIT franchise a solid beginning.
Strong Occupancy
The film notched a huge 87.82% opening day occupancy, with the afternoon shows reporting a still stronger 92.37% occupancy. That indicates that the film has created huge buzz among audiences and its word-of-mouth will continue to boost growth in the days to follow.
Biggest Opening for HIT Series
The ₹18 crore net opening day collection is the largest opening for any movie in the HIT franchise. This is quite an achievement, given that none of the earlier films in the franchise had collected even half this on their opening days.

The movie has surpassed Nani's earlier movies such as Ante Sundaraniki (2022), Hi Nanna (2023), and Saripodhaa Sanivaaram (2024), which had grossed ₹6.25 crore, ₹4.9 crore, and ₹9 crore respectively on their opening days.
Nani's Reaction
Nani expressed his excitement and gratitude on Instagram, calling HIT 3 a "box office mayhem." He appreciated the audience's response and looked forward to the film's continued success.
