One user commented, “HIT: The Third Case delivers a gritty, high-stakes thriller experience, powered by Nani’s commanding performance as SP Arjun Sarkaar. The film opens with a chilling crime in Kashmir, drawing viewers into a suspenseful investigation that unravels layers of psychological and emotional tension. Director Sailesh Kolanu successfully maintains a dark, intense atmosphere throughout, and the film’s cinematography and background score add to its moody texture. Nani’s portrayal of a relentless cop haunted by his past is the film’s strongest element, bringing both physical intensity and emotional complexity to the role.”

The user further added, “However, while the setup is gripping and the first half builds tension effectively, the second half loses some momentum due to a less compelling antagonist and occasional narrative dips. The climax, though serviceable, lacks the shock factor or clever twist that could have elevated the story to the next level. Despite these shortcomings, HIT 3 stands out for its stylish execution and strong lead performance, making it a worthwhile watch for fans of crime thrillers and procedural dramas.”

Another user commented, “HIT 3 is a brutal action film driven by @NameisNani’s strong performance. Though it lacks real thrills and has some weak romantic scenes, it sets up Hit 4 well and entertains fans of violent, massy action. !!”

One user reacted, “is a decent crime drama that takes a while to get going. The first half feels a bit slow, but the second half picks up with some engaging moments and solid suspense. Nani delivers a fierce performance as Arjun Sarkaar and brings intensity to every scene he's in. His screen presence keeps the film alive. The film has a good setup, stylish visuals, and a dark tone, but it could have been sharper with better writing and tighter narration. Overall, a solid thriller worth watching for Nani’s performance and the tense second half, but could’ve been more impactful with a stronger screenplay.”
