Natural Star Nani is on fire. The much-anticipated crime thriller HIT: The 3rd Case, directed by Sailesh Kolanu, has exploded at the worldwide box office, setting it ablaze with its phenomenal performance. What was expected to be a solid start has turned into a full-blown box office rampage.
After delivering a record-smashing opening day with an earth-shaking 43 crore worldwide, the biggest day-one figure of Nani’s career, the film refused to slow down. While most releases typically stumble on their second day, HIT 3 posted big numbers. With 19 crore on Friday, the movie propelled its global tally to a staggering Rs 62 crore in just 2 days.
But the storm doesn’t stop there. Advance bookings for today and tomorrow are red-hot, with many shows already sold out across key territories. The buzz is electric, the demand is surging, and the box office counters are ringing non-stop. The movie is expected to collect bigger numbers on day three, compared to day two.
Overseas, the film is blazing a trail of its own. In North America, it has effortlessly glided past the $1.5 million milestone, with projections pointing to a potential $2 million weekend haul, an extraordinary feat for a genre film in that market.
With HIT 3 joining the million-dollar club, Nani now stands at 11 such films. Even more notably, HIT 3 marks his fourth film to break the $1.5 million barrier, underscoring his growing consistency in overseas markets.
Industry trackers are already hailing HIT 3 as a commercial blockbuster. The movie is set to reach break even before the weekend wraps, and this is shaping up to be one of the fastest-profit turnarounds in recent Telugu cinema history.
