HIT 3 nears Rs 60 crores, set to become Nani’s second-highest grosser

HIT 3 box office collection nears 60 crores

Natural Star Nani has yet again proven his mettle at the box office, with HIT 3 emerging as a runaway success. Co-starring KGF fame Srinidhi Shetty and helmed by director Dr Sailesh Kolanu, the third chapter in the gripping crime thriller franchise is raking in big numbers and earning widespread acclaim.

According to early estimates reported by Sacnilk, the film has amassed an impressive ₹58.55 crore across India within just six days of its theatrical release, solidifying its position as the third highest-grossing film of Nani’s career to date.

This achievement is particularly commendable as HIT 3 has already surpassed the total lifetime earnings of Nani’s recent fan-favourite, Hi Nanna, which featured Mrunal Thakur and had earned ₹49.22 crore during its entire run. The fact that HIT 3 crossed that figure in less than a week speaks volumes about the audience’s response and the film’s compelling narrative.

Continuing the intricate and suspenseful storytelling established by its predecessors, HIT 3 has struck a chord with viewers, thanks to its taut screenplay, top-notch performances, and Sailesh Kolanu’s razor-sharp direction. Word of mouth has played a crucial role in the film’s success, with weekday collections remaining surprisingly strong — a rare feat in today’s climate where many releases experience significant drops after their opening weekend.

As the film closes in on the end of its first week, industry insiders are confident that HIT 3 will soon surpass the lifetime box office collection of Nani’s second-highest earner, Saripodhaa Sanivaaram, which grossed ₹62.2 crore worldwide. Current projections suggest that milestone could be reached by the seventh or eighth day of release.

Whether HIT 3 can ultimately overtake Nani’s career-best Dasara, which achieved a staggering ₹81.93 crore, remains to be seen. But for now, it has firmly secured its place as a blockbuster and another shining success in Nani’s diverse and ever-growing filmography.
