Chennai, May 5 (NationPress) It’s officially confirmed! The dynamic action thriller, 'Hit: The Third Case', directed by Sailesh Kolanu and starring Nani alongside Srinidhi Shetty, has officially become a blockbuster.

On Monday, Wall Poster Cinema, Nani's production house, shared on their X timeline that the film grossed an astounding 101 crores within just four days of its release.

They posted a striking banner stating 101 crores, exclaiming, "Sarkaar's century! 101+ crores gross worldwide for #HIT3 in 4 days. Book your tickets now! A phenomenal first weekend for the action crime thriller #BoxOfficeKaSarkaar"

This milestone signifies that Nani has successfully delivered a series of back-to-back blockbusters.

From the very first screening, HIT: The Third Case emerged as a powerhouse, surpassing expectations and setting new opening day records.

Under the direction of Sailesh Kolanu, the film achieved a worldwide gross of over Rs 43 crore on its first day — marking the highest opening day collection in Nani's career, overtaking the Rs 38 crore opening of his previous hit, 'Dasara'.

However, the excitement wasn’t contained within India. In North America, the film made waves by exceeding $1 million on its opening day.

Amid a month filled with disappointing box office performances, HIT 3 stands as a beacon of hope for both Tollywood and Indian cinema.

President of the Telugu Film Chamber of Commerce, Dil Raju, expressed that the triumph of Sailesh Kolanu's 'Hit: The Third Case' has provided a much-needed sigh of relief for the Telugu film industry.

He stated, "The Telugu film industry finally exhaled on May 1. Last month, we faced a dry spell at the box office, raising concerns about dwindling audiences as summer approached. Many single-screen theaters in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana were even shuttered. Amidst this uncertainty, all eyes were on 'Hit: The Third Case'. We were eagerly anticipating whether audiences would flock to theaters and to what degree. Seeing the robust online bookings three days prior to release was encouraging. Today, the widespread sentiment is that the last thirty minutes of this film are extraordinary, and the film is simply fantastic. This positive buzz has rejuvenated the Telugu film industry," he remarked.

Moreover, Dil Raju mentioned, "The film has had an exceptional opening. Until now, 'Dasara' had the highest overseas debut among Nani's films. This film has now surpassed that, becoming Nani's highest overseas grosser. We anticipate similar success in Telangana as well."
