Performance of the Actors:
This is Nani's attempt to introduce a new angle in himself. Explored a peak violent side with the mass. With the teaser and trailer, he has already said that the film is definitely not what one would expect from Nani. He showed great strength of character and a strong fighting spirit.

Although Srinidhi Shetty designed the character interestingly, projecting her character as a regular girl in the second half killed the character's weightage.

The design of Prateik Babbar's character is good... what is the goal of the character and what is the target? Why do it? There are no right answers to these questions. Therefore, the cruelty of the character is not well established or heightened.

Komali Prasad is performing an important role in the film. There are other thrilling roles. Though they are small, they are nicely positioned.

Technical Performance:
The way the action blocks have been designed and composed is a big plus point for the film. The last 20 minutes were good. Real Satish should be appreciated for this, but he had to be scolded for leaking the surprise elements of the film at the pre-release party and causing the audience to not be thrilled with the surprises.

Sanu Varghese's cinematography work and framings made the film presentable in a new way. The way the film was shot, especially in the combination of orange and red light in the action block, gave a new cinematic experience.

The production work of Nagendra needs to be appreciated. Creating a new world, creating blood, body parts, intense blood sports and giving a new angle to the film. It is clear that the producers did not compromise anywhere. All the frames are gorgeous. This cost has been increased especially in the case of police investigation procedures and police station locations.

Director Sailesh Kolanu wanted to create a cult, but the idea was not designed properly. A similar kind of cult was shown earlier by Chandrasekhar Yeleti in the film Accidentally One Day, which is very natural. More importantly, the film proves how important the background artists play in the film and how brutal their expressions are. It could have been better if Shailesh had taken more care in this regard.

The way in which the Hit Universe has been elevated to the level of the Marvel Universe is good. For example, the personality of the hero is a radio communication expert. Shailesh has taken great care of the character establishments and has also written many scenes in the same way. It would have been better to be more careful in the second half. But certainly not at the level of Hit: The First Case.

Analysis:
Some films create a new path. Telugu audiences are getting used to dark humour. It takes a lot of time to get used to this kind of survival thrillers. It should be said that Hit 3 (HIT 3) is the first step in this sequence. Nani gave a proper changeover to the image but couldn't give complete satisfaction. However, the emotional scene worked out well. Hit 3 is a milestone film in Nani's career and has paved the way for bloody action films in Telugu.
