Still, it did enough to emerge as the actor’s highest-grossing film at the worldwide box office. Keep reading for a detailed closing collection report!
Reception of the film
The Telugu action thriller was theatrically released on May 1, 2025. It opened to mixed reviews from critics. While the performance and the action quotient received praise, the film was criticised for its weak storyline and inconsistent screenplay. Among neutral audiences, too, it fared with mixed word-of-mouth. The violent sequences also garnered polarizing reactions from viewers.
Concludes the theatrical run in India
In India, HIT 3 registered a strong start. It opened at 21 crores, thus giving Nani his second-best start after Dasara’s 23.20 crores. From here, it faced much higher drops than expected and couldn’t make it to the 100 crore club. Eventually, it wrapped up the run by earning 81 crore net.
