HIT 3 emerges as Nani’s third biggest grosser beating Hi Nanna, eyes second spot before first week close

Natural Star Nani is on a roll yet again, with HIT 3 co-starring Srinidhi Shetty and directed by Dr Sailesh Kolanu proving to be a formidable winner at the box office. The third installment in the popular crime thriller franchise has struck a chord with audiences, delivering strong numbers right from day one. As per early reports by Sacnilk , HIT 3 has collected an impressive Rs 58.55 crore in India in its first six days, making it the third biggest film of Nani’s career so far.What makes this feat even more noteworthy is that HIT 3 has already outperformed one of Nani’s beloved recent hits, Hi Nanna with Mrunal Thakur, which earned Rs 49.22 crore during its entire theatrical run. Given Hi Nanna’s emotional drama genre and critical acclaim, it was a significant milestone in Nani's career — but HIT 3 has surpassed it in less than a week.The film, which continues the gripping investigative saga of its predecessors, has been lauded for its intense screenplay, sharp performances, and slick direction. Positive word of mouth has ensured steady collections throughout the weekdays, a rarity in recent times when many films witness sharp drops post the opening weekend.As the film heads towards the end of its first week, trade is optimistic that HIT 3 will soon cross the lifetime collection of Nani’s second biggest hit, Saripodhaa Sanivaaram which had amassed Rs 62.2 crore worldwide. At the current pace, this seems well within reach, with most projections hinting it could happen by day seven or eight.However, whether HIT 3 can dethrone Nani’s career-best Dasara, which raked in a whopping Rs 81.93 crore, remains uncertain.. For now though, HIT 3 has cemented itself as another blockbuster in Nani’s impressive filmography, reaffirming his consistent box office appeal across genres.
