The trailer for HIT: The Third Case, released on April 14, 2025, has set the internet ablaze with its raw intensity and dark narrative. Directed by Sailesh Kolanu, this Telugu-language action thriller marks the third installment in the HIT Universe and introduces a bold antagonist-turned-protagonist arc. Starring Nani as Arjun Sarkaar, a relentless SP in the Homicide Intervention Team (HIT), the trailer promises a blood-soaked chase to hunt serial killers across Visakhapatnam and Jammu and Kashmir.
Clocking in at just over two minutes, the trailer is a masterclass in tension. It opens with haunting visuals of gruesome murders, setting a grim tone. Arjun’s philosophy is stark: criminals face justice through arrest or elimination. A standout scene features a woman’s desperate plea, hinting at emotional depth amid the gore. Sanu John Varghese’s cinematography, paired with Mickey J. Meyer’s pulsating score, amplifies the stakes, though some fans noted the background music could hit harder. Srinidhi Shetty’s enigmatic role adds intrigue, while the trailer’s “A” rating for bloody violence signals unapologetic brutality.
Filmed across Hyderabad, Visakhapatnam, and Jammu and Kashmir, HIT 3 dives deeper into its investigative roots, with Arjun tackling a high-priority case. The franchise’s shift to a darker, more complex narrative has sparked buzz, with fans chanting “#AbkiBaarArjunSarkaar” on social media. Set for a May 1, 2025, release, the film is poised to redefine Telugu action thrillers.
