The third instalment of the popular suspense thriller, HIT broke many box office records when it was released on May 1 2025. After a month of a successful box office run, HIT: The Third Case is now available on Netflix. The film caters to the audience in five languages, which are Telugu, Hindi, Kannada, Malyalam and Tamil.
Written and directed by Sailesh Kolanu, all three movies — HIT: The First Case, HIT: The Second Case and HIT: The Third Case, have built a film universe of suspense, serial killers, and intense police officers chasing the tails of ruthless murderers and solving mysteries. However, now that all the films are available on OTT platforms, many cine-lovers who had missed out on the chance to watch them on the big screens are excited to catch up on all three films.
Are HIT 1 and HIT 2 connected?
HIT: The First Case starred actor, Vishwak Sen as the protagonist ‘SP Vikram Rudraraju IPS’. While in HIT: The Second Case, Adivi Sesh portrayed the lead role of ‘SP Krishna Dev (KD) IPS’. Both of these movies share the same universe and show the Homicide Intervention Team (HIT) led by an IPS officer trying to solve crimes. In all the instalments, the protagonist changes, and the crime is solved at the end of the film. Hence, the different stories share a universe and sometimes refer to the previous cases.
