Nani’s HIT 3 Nears ₹60 Crores, Poised to Be His Second-Highest Grosser

Natural Star Nani’s HIT 3 has become a huge success by grossing ₹58.55 crore in six days of its release. Alongside actor Srinidhi Shetty and directed by Dr Sailesh Kolanu, it has become Nani’s third-highest-grossing film.

HIT 3 box office collection nearing 60 crores

Nani has proven yet again with HIT 3 that it is a massive success at the box office. Co-starring KGF fame Srinidhi Shetty and directed by Dr. Sailesh Kolanu, this third installment in the gripping crime thriller franchise is making numbers and attracting much-appreciated reviews.

As per early estimates by Sacnilk, the film has made a super ₹58.55 crore across India within six days of its worldwide release, thus far securing itself as the third-highest-grossing film in Nani’s career so far.

This impressively stands because HIT 3 has even crossed the total lifetime earnings of his previous popularity contest, Hi Nanna, co-starring Mrinal Thakur, which grossed ₹49.22 Crore through its lifetime. The fact that HIT 3 crossed that figure in less than a week speaks volumes about how the audience received it and the gripping narrative it carries.

Extending the intricate suspense storytelling of all its predecessors, HIT 3 caught the audience by a nervous twitter through the taut screenplay and performances and razor-sharp direction by Sailesh Kolanu. The film’s weekday collections have remained robust, partly due to a positive word of mouth, which in today’s world is rare since most of the releases fall steeply after the first weekend.

Box Office Sweep

After an amazing debut weekend, HIT 3 had fantastic word-of-mouth and repeat audience keeping up a steady run through its second and third weeks. Multiplexes and single-screen theaters have packed shows, largely in metropolitan cities and Telugu-speaking states, and curiously, even overseas collections have added a decent figure to the overall figure.

Now, it is flirting with a domestic gross of ₹60 crore and thus competes to take the place of becoming one of the best of Nani’s previously made box-office hits; namely, Dasara and Jersey. Presently, Dasara stands as the highest of Nani, but HIT 3 will take the second position of Nani’s box office records — the best in a major accomplishment among many rivals for the crowed calendar of 2025.

Reasons Why HIT 3 Worked

There are several reasons why it was successful. First and foremost, there is franchise value. The audience expects a well-defined story from the HIT franchise, and the third one lives up to this. Nani was an important part of the stardom and credibility of the film, whereas the screenplay was really tight and paced so that it appeals to the masses.

Also, the promotional campaign for the film was sharp and effective, which created a lot of buzz through teasers, trailers, and interviews without actually giving away much of the storyline. Finally, social media buzz also largely contributed to the momentum being built for the film.

The Next Thing for Nani

With HIT 3 firing up nicely at the box office, speculations about HIT 4 are rife among fans and people in the industry. There is no confirmation of this as yet but there is a possibility for that avenue to further unfold at the end of HIT 3. As for Nani, he continues to enjoy the fruits of balancing content-oriented cinema with commercial success, making him one of the most bankable stars of Telugu cinema today.

So HIT 3 is not only a box office hit; it is a milestone in the franchise and a career milestone for Nani. Achieving ₹60 crores is a commendable achievement, and all indications suggest there is still more to come.
