HIT 3 Registers Powerful Start at Box Office With ₹15.69 Crore on Opening Day

May 1, 2025 — HIT: The Third Case, the third installment in the successful crime-thriller franchise led by Nani, has made an explosive debut at the Indian box office. On its opening day, the film grossed a remarkable ₹15.69 crore net across India, solidifying its status as one of the strongest openers for a Telugu film this year.


HIT 3 Box Office Collection Day 1: Impressive Occupancy and Audience Reception

The Telugu-language psychological thriller, directed by Sailesh Kolanu, saw impressive occupancy rates on May 1:

  • Morning Shows: 79.57%
  • Afternoon Shows: 92.37%
  • Evening Shows: 91.52%

Released in multiple languages, HIT 3 dominated in Telugu-speaking regions, especially Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, where theatres reported houseful shows by afternoon.


Nani’s HIT 3 Beats Franchise Records

The film has outperformed its predecessor, HIT: The Second Case, which opened with ₹6.4 crore. The leap in collections shows not just the franchise’s growing fan base but also Nani’s rising box office pull.


US Premiere Earnings: A Milestone for Telugu Cinema

In the United States, HIT 3 has generated over $415,000 through premiere shows, making it the second-highest grossing Telugu opener in the US in 2025—only behind Ram Charan’s Game Changer. The strong overseas reception reflects the global appeal of Telugu thrillers and well-marketed franchises.


What This Means for You

If you’re a fan of crime thrillers or follow Telugu cinema:

  • Expect packed theatres this weekend
  • HIT 3 could be a benchmark for upcoming Indian thrillers
  • Likely to enter ₹100 crore club if trend sustains over the weekend

Looking Forward

With early reviews praising Nani’s intense performance and Kolanu’s gripping direction, HIT: The Third Case is poised for a successful run at the box office. All eyes are now on Day 2 and weekend performance, which could determine whether this turns into a ₹100 crore blockbuster.

Trade analysts expect a 30% jump on Friday and Saturday, aided by word-of-mouth and positive critical reception.
