HIT 3 revolves around Nani's character, Arjun Sarkar, a short-tempered yet honest IPS officer stationed in Jammu and Kashmir. The narrative takes a gripping turn when Arjun investigates a brutal murder, only to discover it's part of a series of killings by a serial killer.
Arjun dedicates himself to the case, meticulously piecing together the clues to reach the conclusion. Sreeleela Shetty, as Mridula, acts as Arjun's partner and emotional support. Veteran actors like Rao Ramesh, Surya Srinivas, and Brahmaji add depth and gravity to the storyline.
A Must-Watch for Thriller Enthusiasts
The film's cinematography, background score, and editing successfully keep the audience engaged. While some viewers found the screenplay somewhat routine, Nani's acting and the overall treatment of the story compensate for this shortcoming. The blend of action and suspense is rarely seen in contemporary cinema.
All eyes are now on this weekend, where HIT 3 could further boost its earnings. If this momentum continues, the film could become one of Nani's highest-grossing films.
