More about HIT: The Third Case

Produced by Nani and Prashanti Tipirneni, with music by Mickey J Meyer, HIT 3 continues to attract attention. The film revolves around 'SP Arjun Sarkaar IPS, HIT Visakhapatnam' essayed by Nani. A ruthless cop who committed a heinous murder and was imprisoned for an unspecified crime. However, during his stay at the prison, he is saved by a fellow inmate, 'Samuel Joseph', who is essayed by the ace actor, Ravindra Vijay.

Nani's intense role as the cop, combined with a hint of unhinged characteristics, is a complete entertainment package. As he is sent off to Jammu and Kashmir to investigate a series of brutal, eerily similar murders, it will be interesting to see how 'Arjun' will be able to chase the killers while also making sure that the skeleton or two in his own closet, remain hidden. The story swings between high-octane action, buried trauma, and a web of secrets that keep unravelling one shocking thread at a time.

Director, Shailesh Kolanu returns to his gritty storytelling style, and with Mickey J. Meyer's moody background score and Sanu John Varughese's sharp visuals, the film delivers a punch both visually and emotionally. The mid-credits scene introduces a new police officer in Chennai, 'ACP Veerappan IPS', who discovers a body hidden in a truck at a checkpoint, hinting at HIT: The Fourth Case.
